    Thought your dancing was a little silly, then you said "it's a low budget show", lol, I chuckled. Nice review man. :-)

    I always like your reviews. They are always informative and entertaining. I'm 6' 4" and 300 lbs. I drive these all the time at work. They have a good amount of space, and they are fun to drive. Keep up the good work!

    Kia has been doing great things in a short amount of time. And with the redesigned Soul they continue to prove that point.
    Great review and I'll keep pushing play, just keep pushing these reviews.

    Great review. For me this is an example of a car that grows on you, I remember how I disliked the Soul when it was first introduced and now(with the right colour of course) I actually really like it. It is very functional too. And yes I'm an old guy.

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      1956chip I really liked the new Soul too - one old guy to another :)

    • @Statimtek

      1956chip Just took delivery of our 2015 Soul. Love it, love it ,love it. IMHO the Soul looks best in Alien Green paint. Yet another old guy putting his 2 cents worth in

    Great review! We just bought a two-tone 2016 White with red roof Kia Soul+. So far we love it & a great value. We traded in a Nissan Versa for the Soul & like the Soul much better.

    Can you do a review of the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage theMediaMart? I really love it's insane mpg it gets from what I've seen! Thank you.

    • @djkenny1202
      @djkenny1202 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I almost bought one. But I can get Soul base model 6 spd for 13500. That is only a grand more than a Mirage SE. ON a freeway road test at 60 mph the Mirage achieved 50.9 mpg. Impressive, for sure. I got 38 mpg in the Soul. Considering all it's other attributes, I would personally pay a little more for the Soul.

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The soul is sooo much better 👍🏽

    @pedrof830 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A wonderful soul doing a review on a Soul, how appropriate!! This is built off the European and Asian Hyundai I20 which explains its superior driving and handling, great car for those who need the room but not a gas guzzling SUV. Only thing I don't like about it is its standard 1.6 motor, kind of weak for this size vehicle

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      i tested the 2 liter engine :) thanks my friend!

    • @djkenny1202
      @djkenny1202 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am getting the 1.6 liter. It is Fine. With the 6 speed manual, it gets up just Fine.

  • @erickar2634
    @erickar2634 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I want this car I actually want the 2019 model but this will still make me happy my goal right now is to save towards either the 2014 or 2015. My wife doesn’t like it but she can keep our 2006 Honda Accord and I’ll have this one.lol😄

  • @jamesgonzales6086
    @jamesgonzales6086 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool review, and dance moves!! Looked at this SOUL, but ended up buying 2017 Honda FIT... Have you reviewed Honda FIT yet??

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love the fit! Hondas are hard to come by on rental lots - so no - I haven't. Do you like your fit?

    • @jamesgonzales6086
      @jamesgonzales6086 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Love it! Mostly a weekend car...still with the Hoopty wagon (96 Accord) as the daily driver...If you're ever on west coast you can use mine! Or usually Honda dealers service will rent one out

  • @gambit7025
    @gambit7025 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm really thinking about the 2014 Kia Soul but I'm really concerned about the low HP on long highway road travel. I don't have a sporty lead foot but I'm afraid of hearing a high reving engine noise if I'm trying to perform a simple passing lane change or going uphill on a long road.

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I enjoyed driving the Soul - go test one out and let me know what you think!

    • @gambit7025
      @gambit7025 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually did do a test drive
      But the test drive was limited to a very short drive in the city. It seemed zippy enough in city traffic. But I don't know how it performs on the highway.

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      i enjoyed it out on the highway - it feels much more sturdy than it looks!

  • @2phalanges
    @2phalanges 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    im thinking about the 2011 model. but im worry about the true mpg and its only 122 horse power which is kinda low.

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      2phalanges go drive it! i loved it!

    • @djkenny1202
      @djkenny1202 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you take it easy, you can get 38 mpg on the freeway at 60 mph. Go 75, you will get only 25 mpg. People drive too fast so economy suffers.

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed.

      +they do - the one I tested was automatic. Bonita Pandora

    • @bonitapandora
      @bonitapandora 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +theMediaMart no it looks like you drove with a Manuel unless they dressed up the gear changer.

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was auto. I don't drive stick very well. 😜

  • @ENP1980
    @ENP1980 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    could this be a family car? with 2 kids? (as opposed to a crv or rav4)
    thanks

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ENP1980 ok - I really LOVE the Soul! it's a fun car to drive and is much more sturdy than it looks. I was sad to take it back!
      The CRV would be my top choice of the 3, but I would go test the Soul - just for the fun of it. It can get the job done and it's unique. The CRV is somewhat conservative - but man is it a solid little truck!

    • @ENP1980
      @ENP1980 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks. I agree, I test drove it. It's just too small to be a family car though. Thanks for the review

    • @djkenny1202
      @djkenny1202 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have two kids. It has plenty of room. Americans are Odd.

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Americans are odd. We need lots of space for our cowboy hats and such 😂

    • @djkenny1202
      @djkenny1202 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gotta be it! It is funny, I spent a month in Europe, you would see 6 people in a little Fiat. People here will have only 2 children and want an SUV or something. Cars generally seat 4-5 people. My Lord. I guess it is like houses, too. Suddenly we need a 4 BR home with 3 baths. I have 2 kids, an 1100 sq ft home with a garage, and .. brace yourself.. 1. Bath. People did this forever (it is still common as can be in many countries). Kids shared rooms. People waited to shower. Suddenly we had so much Crap, I assume?
