2024 Kia Soul LX Walkaround | Is base enough?

[@leecowell8165]

I'm 81 years old and don't have an issue with the gas cover lever. This car is also super quiet in fact its the quietest of all vehicles in this classification. yeah 52.2db at 55mph. I was surprised at quiet it was the first time I drove it. It also has more than enough acceleration to merge with throughway speed which is all one really requires. In fact its has about the same 0-60 speed that my 1966 Chrysler 300 had! Tell you what for the $$ you ain't gonna beat this vehicle. BTW I did get the technology package (a $500 option) because I needed blind side detect which it normally does not have. I don't use any of the other functions such as lane hold assist. yeah I know how to drive without that! I did try it though and it works very surprisingly well but I would never trust it. Yep I'll stay with using my eyeballs.

That’s great to hear and awesome insights on your experience with your Kia soul! So glad it’s working out well for you!

I travel alot for work. I am driving a brand new Kia Soul for the week. I am seriously impressed with this car. Not nearly as nice as my Mini Countryman I drive, but it is a great entry or economy vehicle.

How do you like 3 months now?

[@chaukeawestray7983]

I got the 2024 white kia soul a week ago. very nice

[@cathypeloquin4798]

How do you like it now since it's been 3 months? Issues?

[@rbarrow403]

Just bought a white 2025 today. I love it so far.

[@keawestray249]

Honest and helpful!

I still have my 2010 Kia soul shadow dragon series. 130,000 miles. And keeps going strong lol. Well... Kia strong 😂

[@leecowell8165]

Yep its all you need to get from here to there. Just stay up on the maintenance. This 2024 model has the CVT tranny so you gotta respect that. Drive it aggressively over time and you'll most certainly have issues that a geared tranny probably would not have.

The gas door latch is the same on my Forte. You pull the latch while seated.

I wish I could get one with a manual transmission.

[@JohnTheCarExplorer]

True, I feel that

[@Bluedreamflying]

You can get a seat back organizer, it’s not that hard to add usb ports for the rear, and just pop your gas tank door before you get out of the car at the pump.

[@jbg1800]

Excellent vehicle

[@adoptacat2877]

Wish you would have given the prices on all models. I want to purchase one but don’t want to be ripped off.

[@LeiYuanHong]

I am buying a new 2025 Soul tomorrow for $21,500 out the door! Not a bad deal, had to do a little dealing but that's a great price for a new car in 2025. Not much else compares at this price.

[@mittahtholakae5854]

How much is it

[@AnthonyKarikari-r2t]

How much in USD for this car

[@bondovwvw]

I think the Chevy trailblazer has more room behind the rear seat.

[@JohnTheCarExplorer]

So I just checked. 25.3 seats up and 54.4 seats down. So technically it beats it with the seats up by a bit but the soup beats it by a little seats down. However it’s also about 5k more than the soul so it’s something to weight. The trax would be a better comparison and that car has very similar cargo room and it only MSRP 20k.

What makes this car luxury?

[@tyson32td]

I got 2025 soul

[@conantdog]

When you got to the part about the electric oil pump I knew I wasn't going to be buying this car. That's the problem with cars these days they try to get fancy and cheaper with things like oil pumps, I worked on BMW's for a while and I was replacing a lot of electric water pumps and I really found them a bad design and a weak point of that brand.

Lx has hubcaps this is a S model......
