Road Test: 2012 Kia Soul

[@guachu13]

Saw her video and now I'm really thinking of buying a Kia Soul somewhere next week.

[@RickyBricky]

Its probably gonna be my first too. Thankfully it can fit tall people like me in it quite easily.

[@2fast4all]

My 11' + is holding up strong!

[@strathie09]

im 18 and i am going to lease the Kia Soul + for a 2 year at .5% and $2,000 down and have it be $193 a month. The deal was good, i was going to get the Kia soul ! (which is the regular model) but it didn't have power windows, remote control key, no serious radio, heated seats, and it only had 14" tires. The + had all that and it was only $5 dollars more on the lease. It was a good decision.

[@blacuraRL]

The cloth is beautiful! Go ahead and keep your beige on beige Camry or Corolla. This car is a lot more trendy :)

[@autonathan]

Love the new look on the outside, but I will have to have the optional heated leather and the navigation system, which I believe gets a larger screen, but I could be wrong.

[@aarikc17]

I love that Mazda still gets the manual shift right. Everyone else doesn't get it.

[@AlexHernandez1637]

Awesome I love this cars

[@MrTyMan50]

I have a 2012 red one with a 6 speed manual as well, I love it fun little car to drive

[@mohamedbouhsine5783]

sil How many people have reached you?Consumption of gazelle per 100 km

[@nikemac84]

Those practical, roof railings are not available in U.S. anymore. They are in Canada though......

[@markcruzjr.7754]

Ummmmm are the roads supposed to be wet when testing take off?...

[@owlfeatherliving]

I just bought base 2012 today.

[@scorpiocara6798]

How many miles and how is it running

[@mattmc8391]

@76carmel No , this is 2.0 NU , its a brand new engine based off the 1.8 NU Hyundai ....

[@hnnotyy]

Driving one for a rental now, not bad but the suspension needs work along with steering..

[@WinchesterLock]

Ugh, I would love to have one, but they are getting to be too expensive and you can't seem to find any used cars. Not to mention when you do, they are worth more now than they did when they were new (2010 models that sold for $14k, are now selling at $18-19k).

[@opskike96]

Laina brought me here too :)!

[@jareermzahalka]

i just like this car :)

[@AzovPort]

Спасибо отличное video!

[@jojo0827]

@SK8MG01 im pretty sure thats just angling

[@mrmaturitydelinquent]

I have a coworker who has the Soul with an orange exterior, looking like something the CEO of Tropicana would drive.

[@strathie09]

@strathie09 and the + has a 2.0 Liter and not a 1.8

[@yaotl1217]

[@y571]

[@SuperAsianDude1]

those soul jokes in the beginning.... oofph

[@hugoquintero9189]

Me and my wife are in the market for a new car and we love this car

[@idkyoo]

is it just me or anyone else out there felt like they were watching the price if right as he goes into introducing the car. xD

[@76carmel]

Same 2.0L engine in Forte?

[@MetroSonic]

I will trade my Kia Optima LX for the Kia Soul this is more safer and more suitable plus enough leg room for me.

[@EricAtMazda]

Old people love these things

[@alexmac25]

class action suit for the soul?

[@yukai29]

Laina brought me here :)

[@camaroman101]

@AGreedyTree same with the scion xb

[@davidalexispr]

What is the 1/4 mile time for the M/T 2.0L?

[@ksoul0ful]

[@whaffle1278]

[@zacktohill1]

[@TheLoneBrowser]

That and Its right at their height to get into very easily.

[@MORDEKAIZ]

who is laina?

[@ytJigglypuff]

still driving my 2011 + in 2024, got it used from a CarMax

[@johnsandoval9149]

Buena noche alguien me puede decir si el tablero de la kia soul 2015 se sirve a la del 2012 gracias

[@mattmc8391]

They fail to mention the 2010 test they refer to in acceleration was a 2.0 5 speed that did 0 to 60 in 8.7 sec .... They also tested a 2010 2.0 Automatic against an Xb and Cube , and it's 0 to 60 was 9.9 seconds .... this is the car they should have compared to .... Auto vs Auto , the 2012 is almost 2 sec quicker to 60

[@pakistani97]

dudel... i legitimately feel bad for you right now thats bout the price of a 3 series in america :(

[@AGreedyTree]

@LoveTheCity123 hahahaha cool. i've been trying to decide between a honda fit, chevy cruze, and chevy sonic. I think i'm just going to save an extra $2000 so i can get a cruze. i have a 1999 buick century right now. its funny because everytime i see a car that looks like mine, there's an old lady driving it. im 19.

[@RayZfox]

Google "protectionism" and click the wikipedia link.

[@fergumasonm00]

i love it...

[@LoveTheCity123]

@AGreedyTree Hahaha! Oh well, you can only get what you can afford. I'm grateful because my parents own their own empire and brand, so I'm glad I am going to be able to get an awesome car. But yeah, I definitely like the Cruze over the Sonic. I think the Sonic is sort of ugly in the front.

[@verkpunk]

@AGreedyTree Dammit. I liked this this thing, but my old lady says that she will lose all respect for me if I buy it.

[@baseballbuckbuck]

seat covers? I think yes.

[@Maddehh101]

the soul exclaim is my first car :)

[@LoveTheCity123]

@AGreedyTree ROFL! Me 2, man! I guess they want to try to feel "young again." But anyways, I'm getting a 2012 for my 16th birthday! I'm pretty excited!

[@AGreedyTree]

I always see old people driving these.

[@Thetetoncaptain]

great car: thanks Kia for the jobs and the planned expansions in the US

[@Kurt_Grech]

Laina brought me here

[@AGreedyTree]

@verkpunk Then by all means, buy it. ;)

[@hartlessly]

Latina brought me here also

[@toddpf]

Why does John Davis expect every car they test, no more how economical, to perform like a 6 digit supercar?

[@bumble144]

its an economy car, this guy is asking for too much lol awd on a 14k car? it gonna cost r&d then sell like .05%

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Ah! Ok. It's too bad that no diesel option was ever offered.

[@HoschtonBoy]

I like

[@Insanity_Crow]

This thing sounds like it needs better tires. They slip way too much during the 0-60.

[@WesSeid]

Or they simply drive it because it is a practical car.

[@DMaster27]

fucking love it but the interior needs some fixing

[@RayZfox]

Did it not get the 29 mpg?

[@telj1]

They market this to young people but I don't see anyone under 40 driving one. Maybe they should re-target their intended market.

[@Vitalikandfamily]

В России цена на kia soul начинается от $20500 и заканчивается $26000. :( Хочу жить в USA.

[@999benhonda]

If scion had kept the first gen XB and put a larger 2.0l engine into it like kia did for the soul, I would be looking to buy a newer XB to replace my '06 model. But the morons at toyota made the second gen XB a whole new car, with too large and engine and not as pretty a body. Plus, they made it more expensive. My xb has been a great car and will be hard to replace.

[@Mustang50Lover]

people look at mine sometimes I test drove a fit and din;t like it AS MUCH

[@Vladimir0820]

It's all about the Nissan Cube

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I remember when I first saw the Kia Soul. I was so unimpressed with its overall styling, I thought it was so ugly, from nearly every angle, I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to buy the vehicle. And the commercial with the dancing hamster didn't help matters. Even today, I still don't like the overall look of the vehicle. What's the GDi engine? Is that a diesel engine option?

[@adastra-747]

@AGreedyTree hipsters*

[@uakronsam116]

I don't see why KIA left this ugly interior combo as their top of the line! The red and black interior is much better looking to me!

[@LoveTheCity123]

Not really. The only reason why old people drive these is so they can "feel young" again. Ask them.

[@Lincolnator721]

LoveTheCity123 I disagree. I'm 21 and the Soul is a practical little SUV that gets 32 MPG.

[@itsmeeveylnn8620]

🤣

[@jvrdlc]

wayy better thatn the Cube or XB

[@hanzelgiven1190]

Tobot X

[@BienadictoDieciSeis]

Overly attached girlfriend!

[@xoquixxoqafxo]

The cloth is freaking hideous...

[@AlexDonnett]

[@MrCami1234]

I like the less

[@omijeff1]

[@KhrissyDaDon]
