2013 Kia Soul Review
By KBB.com EditorsIf you're looking for a stylish, youthful car that boasts good fuel economy, lots of versatility, and many features for a low price, the Soul could be your mate.
The Soul may look part SUV, but with front-wheel-drive only and minimal ground clearance, its home is the pavement. If you need a compact vehicle that doesn't mind occasionally getting dirty and has t
The Kia Soul is available in three trims – Base, Plus (+), Exclaim (!) – and offered with two different 4-cylinder engines. Base models use a small 1.6-liter, and all other models are propelled by a bigger and more powerful 2.0-liter. The base engine is adequate at accelerating the Soul, and not surprisingly, the bigger engine has an easier time getting this little 5-door vehicle up to speed. The Soul is no speed demon, but it's also not so slow that you'll dread freeway onramps. The recent addition of a 6-speed automatic transmissi

"All around amazing vehicle! The bluetooth for handless communication is clear and crisp with no distortion. The fuel efficiency is outstanding. The overall value of the car with its affordable monthly payments is incredible. The initial thing that drew me to it was when I walked on the used car lot all of the cars looked the same, this one however stood out in the crowd. After that first test drive I was completely sold. Before signing anything however I spoke with others who owned a KIA. All had nothing but wonderful feedback about them. Worst thing I was told that in 100,000+ miles the most expensive fix on their vehicle was a new set of tires. 10/10 wonderful crossover."

"BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY 2013. GREAT CAR. GREAT GAS MILEAGE. COMFORT IS VERY POOR. GREAT COMMUTER CAR. IF YOU TAKE THIS CAR ON A LONG ROAD TRIP, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW A GOOD CHIROPRACTOR WHEN YOU GET BACK. ITS A CHEAP CAR AND THE INTERIOR SHOWS. LOVE THE BLUE TOOTH VIA RADIO. HANDLES VERY WELL WHEN WEATHER IS PERFECT. HANDLES VERY BAD IN HIGH WINDS, DUE TO HOW LIGHT THE CAR IS, NO FAULT OF MAKER. DOES NOT HANDLE WELL AT ALL IN JUST A LITTLE MUD. WE LIKE THE CAR, VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELY POOR. OVERALL, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, NO COMPLAINTS. I KNEW WHAT I PAID FOR. JUST SAYING, IF YOU LOOKING FOR A ROAD TRIP CAR, KEEP LOOKING, OR U BE LOOKING FOR A CHIROPRACTOR EVERY TOWN YOU COME TO. VISIBILITY IS SO POOR, THAT YOU HAVE TO TURN YOUR HEAD TO CHANGE LANES, VERY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND TINTING WINDOWS. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD FIRST WEEK WE HAD IT, DUE TO A ROCK. ASAP WINDOW INSTALLER TOLD ME GET USED TO IT, THE WINDSHIELD DESIGN IS NOT WELL BUILT. CARS LIKE THE TOYOTA, NISSAN CUBE, AND OTHER CARS IN THIS CLASS, GO THRU WINDSHIELDS ALOT. OVER ALL I LIKE THE CAR. CHEAP TO OWN, GREAT ON GAS. AS IS STATED, THIS IS NOT A ROAD TRIP CAR FOR LONG TRIPS. I AM SURE IT COULD, BUT YOUR BACK AND LOWER BACK WILL SUFFER FOR IT. ROOMY AND SPACIOUS FOR A CAR THIS SIZE. JUST REMEMBER THIS IS A CHEAP BUT WELL BUILT CAR, NOT A LOT OF BELLS AND WHISTLES OR THRILLS. IT WAS MADE FOR COMMUTING AND THAT IS JUST ABOUT IT."
