Kia Soul
Select a Year
(2 available)
For 2012, the Kia Soul receives a minor facelift, new drivetrains and a host of new interior features. The Soul Sport trim level has been discontinued.
With the arrival of the 2010 Kia Soul and 2009 Nissan Cube, the original Scion xB becomes the progenitor of a bona fide little sub-segment defined by funky practicality. Surely, there's a good chance the Soul and Cube wouldn't be here today - in this country, anyway - if not for the success of the original box on wheels. While the Nissan Cube is more reminiscent of the smaller, first-generation xB, the Kia Soul is a more direct competitor to the latest xB. Does the Soul's mix of style, value and technology make it the right choice for you? Keep reading to find out.

"This beautifully designed roomy little four banger has completely won me over! Traded my seven-year-old BMW X3 in on 2011 soul ! five months ago. I couldn't be happier. This car has a fun, tossable, very sprightly feel. The seating position and seat comfort are excellent. It actually beats the BMW in three important areas. The stereo system is far better, the air-conditioning is much stronger(I live in Florida) and of course fuel costs are much lower. But more importantly than that the Soul just has a very solid quality feel about it. The interior is well thought out and the dash is beautiful. Clearly Kia has gotten very serious about capturing the American market."

"I bought my Soul Sport 9 mos ago..I have over 10,000 mi on it . and so far I am still loving my soul. PRO's: cute, head turner, get asked all the time how I like it, sits high/easily assessable in/out. good head room, good leg room-front and back, great storage, GREAT stereo systym, blue tooth..which I love, low profile tires with 18in rims, love sunroof, great safety rating. CON's: snub nose easily chiped, I bought front mask for mine. Cup holders in bad place, not as much zip as my 07 focus had but has plenty..I drive interstate daily and usually go 75-80 with no problems at all. Has some road noise but not bad. All in all I do really like my Soul Sport, I think it does make a difference in the sport pkg vs the cheaper to cheapest model..I would advise you to purchase the Sport."

Pros: "about 30-32 miles to gal. handles well,holds a lot of stuff with the sears down."
Cons: "some interior panels are cheap plastic that is easy to scratch."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"car gets great gas mileage. have had many people ask how i like the car.i have had car from pa to Fla 2 times.car handles very well has almost as much room as the 2007 sportage i traded in.on the kbb it seems to retain value pretty well.i would definitely buy again. would like the 2012 with its 160 hp and 6 speed automatic."
