I’ve had 2 Kia Souls. Not a single issue, just regular normal maintenance. The one I currently own has over 100,000 miles and still runs nicely. Might buy a third, but enjoying not having a car payment at the moment.

I had a 2013 Soul + that I bought new in 2013. Had the car for 7 years and 90k miles later. Never had an issue and I miss the car. Got a lot of looks and compliments back then. Considering another one in the future! My best friend bought a 2021 a few months ago, and it makes me miss mine whenever she drives me around.

Soul has been a very successful model. It's rare to find such an upright seating position in a cheap car. Usually a cheap car means squeezing into an uncomfortably small seat.

The Soul is perfect to drive around in city, park in tight parking spaces, ample 2nd row legroom and a decent amout of cargo space. I guess 2025 is the last year for Soul. 😢

I have 3 friends that have a Kia Soul. One has a 2024, this is her 4th Soul, I have another who drives a lot for his job. Not sure of the year, but I love it is so white with a red top. Very sharp looking vehicle, nicely loaded. He has over 200,000 miles on it. He is 6’3”, loves it. He is going to drive it as long as he can, but he said he would buy another. I thought about it when I was looking for a vehicle. I bought a Subaru Forester. Loaded up with lots of gadgets. The other friend lives in Chicago, he mainly uses it to drive on vacation, so it doesn’t have many miles. I think he said it’s a 2020 with 19,000 miles. When he’s home he takes the “L” everywhere. Seem to be good vehicles,

We have a 2012 Soul we purchased new. 2.0 engine with the real six speed automatic. Not quite a 100,000 miles on it. It has been very reliable with few expenses to us other than normal maintenance. I don’t know if I would buy another one but that is true for many if not most current build cars.

I just rented a 2025 Soul for a week. It tracks just fine on the highway and is quiet at 65. It would not have a ton of passing power, but a coast to coast drive would be very easy.

the Soul is a subcompact based on length width and weight just like the first 5 gens of the Toyota Corolla were the Soul is actually 3 in longer than an E70 4th gen Corolla which was roughly 4 ft. shorter than a 4th gen Oldsmobile Cutlass which is considered Sr. Compact by the US auto makers at around 17.25 ft. my dad got his driver's license in a 74 Cutlass S and my mum got hers in a 78 Delta 88 which was 18 1/5 Ft long and 3,742 LBs

The Soul is great, I have a 2016 and it's still the comfiest car I've ever been in that isn't a big ol truck. Even many smaller SUVs are less comfortable. Lots of legroom. Also Kia has incredible design sense for a budget automaker. Ford / Chevy has no chance against them unless they start innovating.
