This car is a huge upgrade from the 2001 Saturn I had previously. The Soul's interior is deceptively spacious and has a number of great features that make my driving experience more enjoyable. I like the short body because it is so much easier to park and make U-turns. Performance is fantastic compared to what I had in the past. It's good-looking and the unique shape makes it easier to spot in parking lots among hundreds of Sedans and SUVs.

Little car, BIG HEART. After years of having very small cars, this size was a big upgrade for me. Mostly, I wanted to be able to haul small furniture and home improvement items without borrowing someone else's car. When the back seat is put down, I have almost as much working space as a Jeep Cherokee. Our gas mileage has been great in town, and pretty good on the highway. Family trips with two teenagers in the car have been comfortable. The service plans and support we've received from KIA have kept our little Soul in great working condition. The main thing I don't care for with this car, is being able to feel basically every single bump on the road. This hasn't really caused any trouble for me physically- but I definitely notice it when I ride in someone else's car.
