I bought the 2011 Kia soul, used in 2013. At the time of purchase it had less than 20,000 miles on it so I would say it was very gently used. I like all the features. It handles well, has enough cargo space; although no luggage rack. The fuel economy is awesome. This vehicle features "Eco Boost" technology so, you get the power of a V6 with the fuel efficiency of a 4 cylinder! This feature works on both the highway and inner city. I like the fact the I didn't have to upgrade my stereo system and the speakers change colors and dance to the music. What's more is that the vehicle sits just high enough that my elderly mother can easily get in and out of it. The only problem with the car is that at the time of purchase the spare tire was not included. I'm sure this is due to the vehicle being used. Other than that I'd buy this car all over again and recommend it to friends.

I love this car. When searching for a new car, I was focused on buying a vehicle that was distinctive looking enough to be easily spotted in a parking lot, but still sleek and elegant. I loved the color options (although I'm disappointed that they have dropped orange) and continue to be satisfied with my sunshine yellow "taxi". The 2014 Soul drives like a much sportier car, but is roomy and open on the inside-never claustrophobic. It is easy to drive and maintain, and other than a recall for a pin in the steering column, I have only been back to the dealer for oil changes and car washes. I frequently transport other people (including children) in my car, and I feel very safe and secure in my car. It stops well and I feel that the installed safety features are both adequate and adequately integrated in the design. The "command center" in the dash is very responsive, but I find the Bluetooth calling and voice commands difficult to use sometimes, specifically when I'm running the heat or A/C. Also, the Sirius XM radio cuts out at random, which I find irritating. I'm going to have the receiver checked at my next maintenance appointment.
