Used Kia Soul for Sale

The 2011 Kia Soul +! is a decent car for young teenagers. It is very small but the seats fold down to help store large items. The car is not as good as you would expect on gas (about 22-23 MPG) and lacks horsepower. Kia does provide a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty that is very good. I had to take it in to Kia twice to get small things fixed such as the E-Brake and the air conditioner. Kia did not charge me any money to fix. Overall, I would rate this car 4 out of 10 and would recommend it as a good starter car.

The first thing I noticed about the car was its size. I was worried this would be an issue as it looks so small from the outside. However, inside it's very spacious. In the years I've used it, I've had no problem using it to transport any number of things. It also holds a roof rack well, with enough space for kayaks, snowboards, bikes, skis, etc. (I often use it to carry both of my kayaks at once and have never had an issue!) It drives really smooth, and the gas mileage is excellent. As a mother of two, I also appreciate that I can fit two car seats in the back! The Bluetooth connection allows me to safely take calls when I drive, as well as stream music through my phone. Everything about the interior is very sleek-looking, however, I'm not wild about the all black interior, as it can be difficult to clean. It is also a very light vehicle, which is great for gas mileage, however, its a little stressful to drive in the snow as it slides on the road quite frequently (but this is fixable by using snow tires).

When I first saw the Kia soul I did not like the shape of it because it is very different. I was convinced that I was not going to get any vehicle that even resembled a hatchback. Once I drove the vehicle I loved it. The car drove very smoothly, I liked that I felt like I was in an SUV and it was a little higher off the ground then most cars but it was still smaller than an SUV and cheaper. I like the sunroof and the interior fabric/colors of the car. It was very comfortable to sit it. It has great leg room in the front for the passenger, adequate leg room in the back seats but is lacking on trunk space. The car drives very quietly. The gas mileage tends to be around 28 mpg. When I first started driving the car I felt that I had a huge blind spot when checking to switch lanes because of what was blocked back by the trunk area. My old car had mainly window in the back and this has about a foot on both sides that is not window. The more I have driven the car, the less I notice what I used to have a hard time backing up and changing lanes with. This car has an eco mode that works to find a balance between performance and gas mileage which has been great. I feel very comfortable driving this vehicle and feel very safe in it. The car does not have the best acceleration but in exchange, it allows for better gas mileage.
