Dame here my 2010 kia soul has 210k miles only issues I had was alternator and coil pack still driving it 4 hrs a day 5 days a week

I'm the 2nd owner of a 2011 (1st gen.) Kia Soul. The instrument cluster failed quickly, but fortunately there was still a short time frame of warranty left, so that repair was covered. I've now driven this Soul over 100,000 miles with reasonable normal maintenance. It still runs and drives super good, and still burns no oil. The only constant issues throughout this time is the radio won't power up about a quarter of the time, and maybe 1% of the time, the heat/AC fan won't work. Those issues have been consistent for years and have not gotten worse over time.

Scotty. My Kia Soul is a 2012 with 247,000 miles and it is still going strong. No major engine work just general maintenance.

I have owned 3 kia's . First was an optima I had for over ten years with zero problems. Then I bought my kid a kia Soul it had 80k and runs perfectly and my wife has a 2020 kia sportage which has 20k on it so far with zero issues...

Having had two family members that had Kia's which both had serious engine and steering problems, in both cases Kia fought them tooth and nail to deny warranty coverage to actually repair the defective designs. Even if a car company offers a 100 year warranty but they refuse to honor the warranty or even acknowledge there is any problem, or when they do honor the warranty but the part they replace still has the same defect as the original part, then the whole "much better warranty" part of the equation gets tossed right out the window. Kia is the IKEA of the automotive world. They along with Hyundai focus mainly on styling, and flashy gadgetry but that comes at a sacrifice which is attention to reliability and/or foolproof design.

My guess is that it doesn't burn the oil until the oil gets broken down. In other words, it might not burn any oil for the first 3 or 4 thousand miles, but after that, as the oil breaks down (loses viscosity) it begins to burn. I've read several comments that point to this. It kinda makes sense, but obviously the design is flawed. Change the oil every 3k, and it might do very well.

Inspection by a journeyman went great but I suspect he didn’t look as close as I’d like and so I’m trying to learn as much as I can to service this lil thing and hope it gives me some fun years. Great little car to drive. The electric ones are really fun to drive! But I’m not ready wallet wise or practicality wise to go electric as there aren’t a ton of charging stations yet where I am.

I know people who try to play the 15,000-20k oil change tricks because they think they are saving the world. The 2nd owner is going to have a bad engine for sure.

Screw all dealerships! Do your own maintenance from day 1. We bought a brand new 2010 Ford Edge, changed fluids in the first 2,000 miles to Amsoil. Sitting at 172K today with no problems... going strong!

I have 2014 Kia Sorento with the much maligned 2.4L Theta II engine. At 114k miles right now and engine seems to be going fine, though it's noisy (always has been). However, I did switch to 5W-20 full synthetic a few oil changes ago and it started buring oil at a rate of one quart every ~1200 miles; it had been barely burning at all before. I switched back to a synthetic blend 5w-30 and now 1200 miles in it has maybe burned 1/4 a quart. It's been a good family vehicle with the 3rd row and all. However I'm wondering if we should sell it now that it's getting high mileage (for a Kia anyways) or risk it and see if we can get many more years out of it. Really don't want a car payment and car prices are through the roof. Though Carmax says they'll give us $10,600 for it and we paid $14,900 for it back in 2016 with 45k miles.

2007 Kia Spectra just went down a few months ago. It has over 291 thousand miles on it. My 2008 Kia Rio still running great at 172 thousand. Strongly considering buying another one.

In 2020 she traded her in her 2014 for a 2020 GT Line Soul Turbo. Here it is October 2023, and we still get oil changes in both cars at 10,000 + miles and no oil leaks. We do only use synthetic oil in the cars so that might be why we don't have that problem. I did buy a third KIA in 2022 to go along with the Soul and the Optima but it doesn't burn any oil either.

The dealership was pissed when I demanded they fix it so I could actually separate the bars farther than 10 inches. They told me you realize that’s a big job…..well yeah I do but you sold me a defective product so fix it.

The biggest problem in their case was getting reimbursed by the manufacturer for the labor, parts and not making a profit while doing it...that's why they hated it! Their mechanics didn't work for free and parts obviously cost money. Then there's the fact that a ZERO profit "warranty work" car was now taking up both time and space in the repair bay.

Our Soul (2.0 engine) made it ~80k before it began burning oil. Now right at 100k and it absolutely devours oil. Oil Pressure light flickers regularly at idle due to low pressure (using 10w-30 to keep it somewhat at bay). This is all with religious 5k mile synthetic OCIs with Kia or NAPA filters (and 3750-mile OCIs since oil consumption began). I expect the engine isnt long for the world now. Had the SC200 recall applied around 90k after the knock sensor began to occasionally fire….hope they’ll replace my engine but not banking on it. Edit: PS- my ‘03 V8 4Runner burns a half a quart every 5000 miles, with nothing but 7,500 mile OCIs it’s whole life- 201k and counting. Still stuns me how clear it stays on the dipstick.

At 73,000 miles my 2013 Kia Soul, 1.6 ltr motor, burned 1.5 quarts every thousand miles. The dealer sealed the dipstick for 1,000 miles. Oil burn confirmed. They did another thousand-confirmed. KIA replaced the motor and gave me a hybrid loaner. It took them 2 weeks. All and all, I was satisfied. There is a lawsuit going on related to this issue

i was a mechanic for 32 years and i will tell you that dealerships and dealer mechanics hate warranty work and will avoid doing it if they can A. there is no money in it for the shop and B. the mechanic gets paid less for the job so they will try to blow you right out the door until they can't anymore. i once had a new 87 pontiac Grand prix that had a ball joint go bad and i had gotten a bumper to bumper warranty. three years in the power antenna died and it had a bad ball joint. they kept telling me the ball joint was good. they did not replace it until i threatened to drive the car right through their showroom. they gave me nothing but grief but i made sure i got my money back out of the price for that warranty

My 2014 Optima started knocking at start up after sitting a couple of days, Kia put in 10w30 and said they found no problem. I traded it for a Tucson turbo 1.6L. My wifes 2017 Sportage started burning oil a t 50k, I put in 10w30 and reduced it, but left their 5w20 in for winter and at 68k it was using .5 qt in 300 miles.

Best car i ever owned was a 2007 Kia Sportage, 4cyl 2wd. Went over 300K before I retired it. Parts were average priced, went great through the snow, no rust considering being a PA car. Only negative was it seemed to go through tires quicker than other cars ive owned.

My Sportage doesn't use a drop of Oil between 5 Thousand mile Oil changes with Synthetic Oil

195k on my 2011 Soul from new. Never burnt a lick of oil.

Reminds me of the 96 to 01 Honda Civic. I had four different Civic's. My friends called them rice burners; I called them oil burners. Always went through 4 quarts every oil change.

In my limited ownership experience with a couple Kia vehicles they get a B. Had an 09 Optima LX with the 4cyl for 150k miles. Reliable car, comfortable enough, simple maintenance, but had weak interior door handles though. A 2010 Kia Soul+ with the 2.0l 4cyl. Easy to work on, affordable parts, but feels like a cheap car probably because it is, and has an interference engine with a timing belt. 2016 Sorento SX AWD with the 3.3l V6. Many issues with all the electronic gizmos at

If you had Hondas , you'd be happier. My wife has an orange 09 Honda fit 5 sport , rides a little rough bc it's small. But it doesn't really feel cheap. Nothing has broken, it has 200k , and it's barely needed anything but maintenance,. My 5 spd accord has 231k and has barely needed anything besides maintenance, both still have the original clutch. They both just needed minor suspension work recently, like tie rod ends, and stabilizer links, but not till like 180k , and our roads suck, and they're both older cars and had the original suspension

I used full synthetics with a kia filter every 5 months, no matter what mileage per my warranty. Due to GDI and PCV, carbon build up will cause the oil useage.

Two things Scotty is not aware of, it's the Theta II motors only, 2.0, 2.0T, 2.4 and probably new 2.5L. All their GDI motors will need an intake cleaning at 15k, a combustion chamber cleaning at 50k miles due to PCV and GDI. The v6s and 1.6L motors are fine. But the biggest problem is dealers not supporting their warranty, that goes for any make.
