Pretty nice worth test driving

In sport mode all it does on mine is the steering tightness .

Quick note. You mentioned slight uncertainty when taking the turns in the Kia Soul. With lane assist on you will experience the car wanting to stay in the lane and feedback through the steering wheel will make it seem like it’s not doing what you want it to. Turn off lane assist to get the true steering ability of the car especially over 40 MPH.

Hi Rusty, i did the Santa Cruz Limited but was only able to drive it on the lot. Need to go back and do a full drive. How do you like yours?

I have a 2019 turbo. White I added the rear spoiler and pinstriped it in red and added hood vents! It is my every driver because I love it . A K&N permanent filter will add 8 hp a 1.5 miles per gallon with synthetic oil! It is my 3 soul in 9 years! I do wish I waited until 20 model year! Love my soul out of 4 vehicles it the one I drive most! ❤❤❤❤😁

The Soul feels a bit more fragile to me, although my last car was a minivan). I’m in MI and we grow BIG potholes! I hit a deep one in a construction site and had to wait a month to fix it (I had to get past Christmas). It ended up costing over $850 because the alignment was so out, that I killed my front tires that fast. I love my Turbo GT, but I’m missing my van for several reasons.

I dont know what hey are for in the fossil cars but in my e-soul they are for adjusting how much regeneration you get back to the battery. So i just use them to brake down when i heading into a roundabout or into a trafik light or holding back the speed downhill.

In my GT I can put the car in Sport Mode, then use the paddles to shift gears (no shift pedal). I’m told I can use them in the mountains to assist with climbing and slowing on pintail roads. Haven’t tried it yet. I did try the shift on flat loads, and it’s kind of fun, but it doesn’t give the feedback you get using a shift.

@rjsmith2007

The dual clutch automatic transmission features an automatic clutch that allows you to use paddle shifters (those shift type things behind the steering wheel) to change between the gears. This is only on the dual clutch automatic transmissions that they pair with their turbo engines.

If this was the type of the vehicle i was looking for, than probably yes. Telluride is the size that I need.

One of my biggest disappointments with my Soul is that the remote start, remote climate control, and remote locks are all part of a subscription package. To have those features (and, yes, some others) is $14.95 a month! If you want the voice support stuff (Kia’s version of OnStar) it’s more! I bought my Soul because of the car and seat height, easy to use controls, and the remote features (I have arthritis and these features were necessary for me). I told the salesman this but either I missed the fact it’s subscription, or he didn’t tell me! I only found out when I received an email that my subscription was running out. Very disappointing!

Hi Linda, i hear you, bit that is still not bad comparing to some other manufacturers and the features that you get with it. I can't think of a brand that has an app based system that is free ( other than a trial period) Still better than spending 600 or more on remote start only and then sell or trade the car after that. In your case if you sell it just cancel the subscription. Thanks for watching!

Souls are kinda under rated. I have a 2015 base and my big complaint is it feels pretty cheap but it was a cheap car. But I pull a small trailer with it and everyone who's been in says it's way bigger inside than it looks. I've had it packed full for a 9 hour car ride with 2 people and it was perfectly manageable.
