I purchased a new Kia Soul in 2012, and I’ve been in love with it ever since. The safety features were what drew me to look at this Kia, but the Soul has so much more to offer. It’s a pleasure to drive and has all the speed needed for the highway and the back roads. If you need to pass, there’s never a hesitation. This little baby can really bring on the power. It’s a confident drive because it’s so comfortable. Everything is adjustable from the mirrors to the seats. It will hold five adult passengers easily, but the optimal ride is four. Passengers in the back are amazed at the amount of leg room and that there is plenty of room in the seat. Never have I owned a car that was so easy to park. It easily fits in spaces that larger cars do not so that’s a plus. The back opens like an SUV, and you have more than ample space for groceries or suitcases.

I love this car. I've been driving it for a few years now and have put several thousand miles on it, but I have had no repair issues. It gets great gas mileage, about 35 mpg, without the price of a Prius or an electric car. You can also put it on "eco" mode to save even more gas. Because of its size, it is also easy to parallel park, yet it doesn't feel small on the inside. The box shape allows you to still have a small car without feeling small on the road or having to crouch when you get in the car. It is very "zippy"-- even just a little touch on the gas will have you zooming forward immediately. The car also just feels young and fun.
