Review Summary

AI summary of user-generated reviews for this vehicle
Customers overwhelmingly praise the comfortable interior with heated or cooled leather seats, ample legroom, and spacious cargo area with foldable rear seats. The responsive handling, smooth ride, and drive mode selector enhance the enjoyable driving experience. Most highlight excellent fuel economy between 25-40 mpg and low maintenance costs as major ownership advantages. The touchscreen navigation, smartphone integration, and Infinity audio systems are widely appreciated. A few report minor issues like underpowered highway performance or isolated durability concerns, but these are vastly outweighed by strong overall satisfaction and long-term reliability.

"I love it!"

I am just turning 70 with some physical problems like sciatica and lower back pain. I am about 5'6"tall. I have been looking for a small hatchback for about a year and test drove about 8-9 cars that fit the bill. For ME the priorities were 1. Seat comfort 2. Ability to see over stearing wheel 3. Roominess for errands at home lumber stores, etc 4. Clearance off the ground---ie. some cars hit curb when parking 5. Fun to drive 6. Last but not least: price under $25k There are a number of cars that have better gas mileage and equal roominess, but only one other of them had seats with power assisted drivers seat and lumbar support because they cater to a younger crowd. Kia hit the mark with this car for my age group as well as younger with all the cool technology. It is easy to get in and out of, is peppy enough to pass if needed, has plenty of room, tight enough handling and VERY comfortable. Could have a little better gas milage, but not the make or break feature for me. The warranty is great as well. I love this car every time I get in it!

Critical Review

"Engine failure"

The engine on my 2017 Kia Soul + seized. All of my maintenance was up to date. The Kia service department wants to charge me $6,000 for repairs. I am the second owner of the vehicle. Kia won't back their own product. There is no warranty coverage. So now I have an expressive lump of metal... Last Kia I will ever buy (was my second).

Affordable for my liking
Pros

Reliable Value Quality Comfort Performance

I, can't afford much right now. This subcompact car fits my budget. I, will someday upgrade to a newer one. My car is getting me around, and having decent fuel mileage. It's actually a nice ride with comfortable seats. A fun stereo with navigation and other things. The cargo area is good with folding down rear seats. Good overall reliable pre-owned car warranty.
