I got the 2024 white kia soul a week ago. very nice

I'm 81 years old and don't have an issue with the gas cover lever. This car is also super quiet in fact its the quietest of all vehicles in this classification. yeah 52.2db at 55mph. I was surprised at quiet it was the first time I drove it. It also has more than enough acceleration to merge with throughway speed which is all one really requires. In fact its has about the same 0-60 speed that my 1966 Chrysler 300 had! Tell you what for the $$ you ain't gonna beat this vehicle. BTW I did get the technology package (a $500 option) because I needed blind side detect which it normally does not have. I don't use any of the other functions such as lane hold assist. yeah I know how to drive without that! I did try it though and it works very surprisingly well but I would never trust it. Yep I'll stay with using my eyeballs.

That’s great to hear and awesome insights on your experience with your Kia soul! So glad it’s working out well for you!

I travel alot for work. I am driving a brand new Kia Soul for the week. I am seriously impressed with this car. Not nearly as nice as my Mini Countryman I drive, but it is a great entry or economy vehicle.

Honest and helpful!

Excellent vehicle

I still have my 2010 Kia soul shadow dragon series. 130,000 miles. And keeps going strong lol. Well... Kia strong 😂

Yep its all you need to get from here to there. Just stay up on the maintenance. This 2024 model has the CVT tranny so you gotta respect that. Drive it aggressively over time and you'll most certainly have issues that a geared tranny probably would not have.

I wish I could get one with a manual transmission.

True, I feel that

You can get a seat back organizer, it’s not that hard to add usb ports for the rear, and just pop your gas tank door before you get out of the car at the pump.

When you got to the part about the electric oil pump I knew I wasn't going to be buying this car. That's the problem with cars these days they try to get fancy and cheaper with things like oil pumps, I worked on BMW's for a while and I was replacing a lot of electric water pumps and I really found them a bad design and a weak point of that brand.

How much in USD for this car

What makes this car luxury?

I think the Chevy trailblazer has more room behind the rear seat.

So I just checked. 25.3 seats up and 54.4 seats down. So technically it beats it with the seats up by a bit but the soup beats it by a little seats down. However it’s also about 5k more than the soul so it’s something to weight. The trax would be a better comparison and that car has very similar cargo room and it only MSRP 20k.

Lx has hubcaps this is a S model......
