Quirky Budget SUV! - 2023 KIA SOUL GT-LINE LIMITED - Winter Review

[@GCCarsCA]

HAPPY 2023! Starting the year with a budget-friendly option: the newly refreshed Kia Soul!

Do you make a 3000sub video Special? Congratulations though🎉👍

Soul has always been my favorite. You sit higher in a Soul compared to sedans, the rear seating is not claustrophobic like the CX-30 and the trunk space is amazing. Me and my friend got a huge package of electric bike in the trunk of his Soul with the rear seats folded down, which I'm sure can't fit in any of the sedans. Btw he has been driving his Soul without any issues since last couple of years. If I have to buy a car, it will be a Soul.

[@GCCarsCA]

Thanks for sharing the reasons why you like the Soul! It really is a great little SUV!

I am happy and grateful to have a 2023 Kia soul Gt line in my life

[@GCCarsCA]

Glad you like, it's a great car!

[@Dicky520]

Great review man, thanks for all the info!

[@GCCarsCA]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it.

I bought the GT trim w/ Tech addon in White Pearl a few days ago and the features + body styling + 18in. rims are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 for the value

[@GCCarsCA]

Glad you're happy! It really is a great car for the money!

Aside from the fact that you are adorable, your review was actually fun to watch. The bit about winter tires and limits of AWD is spot on. In the USA, I bet the FWD auto makers could kill the AWD hoax by 1) pushing out the facts/limits of AWD, and 2) including winter tires with wheels as part of a package.

[@GCCarsCA]

Well thank you :) Including winter tires and wheels (which would still be cheaper than AWD) could really go a long way but I guess manufacturers like to upcharge more on AWD systems instead.

Erik! Great job on the video- if i were to choose between the EX preimum and the GT line (here in Ontario) which one has the better value? Im leaning more towards the GT with better audio, sporty looks, leather seats, heated reat + something for not that much more. what do you think? What is your top 3 color choices. this blue looks fire , i alos like the neptune blue and the white.

[@GCCarsCA]

Thanks for the kind words! I think the additional $2,300 is worth the upgrade to the GT-Line. The features you mentioned + ventilated seats, adaptive cruise control, and forward emergency braking make a lot of sense to me. The Surf Blue this Kia Soul came in is certainly an very bright choice, but I do like it a lot. My second choice would probably be the Neptune Blue and while Gravity Grey looks nice, the white will be much easier to keep clean in the winter. Hope that helps!

Please talk slower. It is a good review.

[@GCCarsCA]

Thanks! And sorry for speaking so fast, I tend to do that but will try to slow down a little in future videos!

[@shadowflex87]

Not a fan of the car but still a good review 😅

[@GCCarsCA]

Haha, don't worry there are plenty of cars coming that I am sure you will like a lot 😉

[@laurac-ss1cp]

It drives better than the Nissan murano for me

[@laurac-ss1cp]

Mine came with all safety features

[@LeciHere]

Wait how did you get heated steering wheel? This is the first review I've seen with it. What's this trim called to get heated and cooled seats

[@GCCarsCA]

This is the GT-Line Limited trim. Not sure if you are from the States, but maybe the heated steering wheel is exclusive to the Canadian model?

[@LeciHere]

Oh just read that is in Canada. I wonder if the feature is available in America 🤔

[@deloresmerrion6508]

Why do talk so fast?

[@GCCarsCA]

I tend to lose my train of thought if I focus on speaking slower. I just speak naturally fast. My apologies if this made me hard to understand at times, will try to improve on this!

[@Nightwing01010]

It's still ugly.

[@GCCarsCA]

Fair enough 😅 It has actually grown on me quite a bit, but I totally get why not everyone likes it

[@darius.schulz]

Very much😂

[@darius.schulz]

Why is this car so ugly?😂😂

[@GCCarsCA]

It's called "quirky" and it's trying it's best, ok? 😂
