The 2020 Kia Soul GT-Line Has One AWESOME And One RIDICULOUS Feature You Don't Know About!

[@loganholmberg2295]

I'll give Kia credit the exhaust tips are actual connected exhaust tips. Even premium brands have been trying to pass off fake exhausts lately.

[@stephenhendricks103]

I'm not a fan of faux exhausts either but the design is a response to consumer complaints, especially owners of premium vehicles, about "sooty" exhaust tipes.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Here in the Pacific Northwest the Soul must have the widest demographic appeal of any vehicle. Seattle hipsters, downsizing seniors, small families, car pool commuters, and the snail mail delivery person on my small island in the Puget Sound all drive and love 'em. And speaking of islands, at less than 14' in length the Soul earns a discount on the stiff fares aboard Washington State ferries. Few other vehicles qualify and none with the 66 cubic ft of overall cargo space. Makes those Costco runs a snap. One of the few downsides of the GTLine? The center exhaust makes fitting a trailer hitch difficult if not impossible. And that means bike(s) have to be carried inside or on the roof. All in all the Soul is a magnificent vehicle. Honda and Nissan must kick themselves for failing to hire rodents to sell the Element and the Cube.

[@ThisGuyRides]

I drove an Element for 15 years, and it's not in the same class with Soul, Cube or xB.

[@raww1240]

@@ThisGuyRides I'm still driving my 2006 Element. Honda's sloppy advertising/lack of advertising around the Element was a disgrace. The Element should have been a contender on so many fronts... Now, I'm in the market for a new vehicle - but you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm keeping my Element! 😎❤

[@BigSam63]

The element was in a different segment than the soul, cube or xb, much larger vehicle overall.

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@BigSam63 The Element (169.9") was a bit bigger than the Soul (165.2") and the Scion Xb (168.1") and considerably larger than the Nissan Cube (156.7") but I'd say that it was in a "different segment" is a bit of a stretch.

[@chrisa2223]

Liked this review and vehicle. I wish Kia would offer AWD, and expanded options with the 6MT.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Yeah they need an AWD option. I love that my Serria has AWD and I couldn't live without it anymore. Side note: People say why do you need AWD why don't you just put it in 4x4? It turns like shit then so getting out of my parking space can be difficult in 4x4. Also once snow hits the ground or I go offroad I put the truck in AWD and only use 4x4 when I need it. Much more fuel efficient that way.

[@JeremiahMulford]

THERE IS an AWD Option. It's only available in Korea though. I own a 2010 Kia Soul and one of my passengers, I do uber with my car, Was an engineer for Kia, and told me about it. Said the reason we don't have it here is because Kia doesn't wanna get into a pissing match with ford over AWD Suv/Cars

[@F80_Eli]

The new Kia Forte GT will come with a 6MT

[@AIDAHAR210]

That was the reason I opt for the base model. Manual transmission is required with me, no matter what

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@JeremiahMulford Perhaps you should confirm what your Uber passengers tell you. As far as I can determine KIA does not offer an AWD version of the Soul anywhere. There was talk of an AWD Soul about 5 years ago and KIA explored the possibility. But when they asked Soul owners and potential customers about it they found little demand. In fact, about 1/3rd of current Soul owners believed their vehicle already had AWD. :)

Kia/Hyundai are offering that 1.6T in damn near everything they sell. I'm more interested in getting it in the Forte or Elantra. The base engines are substantially more efficient though, I wish they could improve the 1.6T in that regard. If you look at numbers and performance data, Kia/Hyundai's 1.6T is very similar to Honda's 1.5T, but Honda's engine is way more efficient..

[@stephenhendricks103]

What many who haven't lived in climates with challenging winter conditions don't realize is that a small, light vehicle with the engine weight over the front drive wheels and a good set of snow tires will perform as well as an AWD vehicle about 95% of the time. I learned that many years ago living in the snow belt of NY state with a Saab 96 that never left me stranded.

If you can only afford the Soul base model, I have a '17 base model and love it. They're equipped with everything you need and are a nice driving comfortable car. It's not a Hamster kids car. It's quieter and more comfortable than a friend of mine's Cadillac Escalade. KIA really tries hard to make cars that you'll enjoy owning.

[@CaptainTrips191]

I hate my 2016 Exclaim. From the rattle behind the steering wheel that sounds exactly like what speedometer cables used to sound like, to the groaning suspension that creaks and squeaks backing out of the driveway or going over speed bumps, to the overly sensitive key fob that I can't leave in my pocket because the slightest movement sets of the panic alarm, to the falsely listed EPA rating of 27/31, to the rear seats that rattle when in the up position, I can just go on. The steering wheel rattle the dealer claimed couldn't be fixed because they have no idea what would cause it, because it does not have a speedometer cable, and there really isn't anything back there that would rattle. The groaning suspension I've had 2 dealers tell me can't be fixed, claimg "it's a vehicle characteristic". The gas mileage situation when I lived in an actual city never got higher than 22 MPG, usually more around 20, and I don't drive that fast. I didn't start getting 27 MPG until I moved to the country, and have to drive 15 miles to the nearest walmart, and there isn't even 1 redlight between me and there. It's basically full on highway driving, and I still don't get 31 MPG. Oh and i forgot the fuel pump that went out at 50,000 miles, leaving me stranded on the side of the road 200 miles from home. I'd think twice about buying a KIa if was you.

The 2019 Soul you could get the 1.6 Turbo for $4k less. For 2020 the changed all the packages around and made the Turbo GT package stupid expensive. I don't see it selling well. People don't like getting screwed over. Not to mention you can get the Hyundia Veloster with the same engine AND A 6 SPEED MANUAL for $3k less.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Apparently my local KIA dealer's customers haven't gotten the word. The newest generation GT with the turbo engine disappear from the lot as soon as they're unloaded from the delivery trailer. Yes, you can get a Veloster with a cheaper interior, three doors instead of four, a cramped back seat, a MT rather than a quicker shifting DCT, and 44 rather than 66 cubic ft of overall cargo space for less. Different strokes for different folks.

[@ryotaryuu]

@@stephenhendricks103 Or for the same price you can buy a V8 Camaro, Mustang, or Charger/Challenger and drive a real performance vehicle.

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@ryotaryuu Well, apart from the fact that a mid to high $20K price wouldn't get you all four wheels on any of the models you mention, there's also the fact that you'd have to make five trips to Costco to match the cargo capacity of the Soul. Let me know where you can purchase a V8 Camaro, Mustang, or a Dodge for the price of loaded Soul. The MSRP of a Mustang GT begins at over $35K, the Camaro at over $39K, and the Challenger at over 34K. All stripped with no options.

[@ryotaryuu]

And as far as getting a stripped down model goes, I bought my 2015 Charger 2 years old with less than 10k miles on it for less than a new turbo Soul, and it is a Road and Track Plus model, loaded. It was $45k new so.

[@stephenhendricks103]

​@@ryotaryuu That tells you something about the market for used Chargers, doesn't it.

To me DCT transmission and turbo are negatives in the long run. Too much kidd glove handling needed for that transmission and turbo to me is a future expensive repair waiting to happen.

I wanted to buy a brand new one (which would've been my first new car) but wouldn't you know, 2022 is the year the 6 speed got dropped. I ended up getting a 2021 with 11,000 on the clock. It has steelies with caps but I intend to get snow tires for those and pick up a set of alloys from the dealer once I decide which ones I like best.

I don't get it, instead of Kia doing away with GDI engines because frankly, they're horrible just do a duo port and direct injection.

My brother has living in Ukraine, he said Kia Soul Electric have sale since 2015 over there. Why US so sucks?

[@joyroc885]

From what I seen the Kia doesn't hold up very well over time.

[@shawnlee664]

Comes with legendary 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. Other crap automakers, best they can do is half that.

[@redrock861]

Well, they really only started making quality products for 2011. That's only 9 years ago. They've only been in Canada for 20. People don't even know my Cadenza is 6 years old. Buying Kia doesn't scare me at all. Every car I buy will be either Kia, Hyundai, or if I can ever afford it, Genesis.

[@F80_Eli]

Kia has been number #1 in IQS for 3 years running now. They hold up excellent over time. They have the best warranties out there. Where, at my Kia dealership, we offer Free lifetime power train warranty

Welcome to America

[@gerrygamache5677]

Can't get the 1.6 L turbo in Canada just the base engine too bad.

[@discerningmind]

Is it legal for you to buy a 1.6 turbo in the USA and bring it back?

[@rolla.18s87]

Looks like a 2015 Scion xb
