Possibly the worst car I have ever owned. Kia gave me PTSD, I really wouldn't recommend it, please do more research on recalls and engine problems, cause you might lose all of your money the moment you drive it out of the dealership.Sep 20, 2025

I purchased a Kia Soul and was told it had not been in an accident and was in good condition. Unfortunately, after purchasing, I discovered that was not the case at all. When I took it in for inspection, I found: The hood latch was damaged, suggesting it had likely been in an accident. The oil pan was damaged. The tires needed to be replaced. The brakes also needed replacement. Several other issues that were not disclosed. Because of all this, I now have to spend around $1,000 more on top of what I already paid for the car just to get it safe and roadworthy. This has been extremely frustrating and disappointing, especially since I trusted the seller’s word that the car was accident-free and in good shape. Pros: Kia Soul itself is roomy, comfortable, and economical. Cons: Vehicle condition was misrepresented. Significant repair costs not disclosed. Trust and transparency were lacking. Bottom line: If you are considering buying a used Kia Soul (or any used car), make sure you get a full inspection before purchase and don’t rely solely on what the seller tells you or a quick prepurchase inspection like I did. My experience was that I ended up with costly repairs and a car that was not what was promised.Aug 29, 2025

Has been a great car love the 2019 KIA Soul. We had the red with a black top and she was a great little car we had many adventures with her. We now have a 2023 Saltos AWD and the same engine with a few modifications to the 2023 and she has pickup and gets pretty good Love the Soul but power she did not have.Apr 02, 2023
