  • 2020 Kia Soul GT-Line Turbo Review. The new 2020 Kia Soul is certainly a compact car champ. The boxcar is a segment that is slowly disappearing, however, Kia soldiers on with the new Soul as it has been selling extremely well. This model is the Kia Soul GT-Line Turbo so it uses a DCT transmission and is FWD. We shall see how this new Kia Soul performs and if it is worth buying.

    Really impressed with this little car it does and fits so much despite it's size. Really enjoyable driving experience that Kia continues to deliver, next project will be the 2019 Mazda Miata as well as the 2019 Toyota Rav4 XLE. Will try to get my hands on a 2013 LS460 as well if possible. Thanks again for watching, hope this review was helpful.

    Excellent review Kevin seriously dude, I love how you pointed out how easy it is to get in and out of as people with disabilities or injuries will find this info invaluable as almost no reviewers mention this, also it would help if you let your viewers know if there is ventilation or aircon for the rear passengers :)

    Just bought the 2020 Kia Soul Turbo - had to get the turbo in order to get the Pedestrian detection. Amazing amount of room and works well for my husband and I (a lot shorter). Love this car. The turbo is wild, fast, and a lot of fun.

    Great review as always! I was curious as what your opinion on turbo vs naturally aspirated vehicles is and which you think is better for dependability. I Have only owned one turbo in my life and while it was fun it wasn't without it's issues. I own a 2019 Kia Forte and while I won't win any races with that little car it looks great and is a blast to drive. Kia has really come a long way with that ivt and honestly as a driver you would never know it was a cvt. Again awesome review and I like how down to earth you are. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next video as always. Cheers

    • @MeynMotorGroup
      @MeynMotorGroup  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks again Chris for stopping by and showing support! Your kind words mean a lot! Yea Turbos are fun but only if you lease it or something. To own I think you made a great choice going for the normal Forte with the IVT it’s not going to give you any troubles down the road. And I agree Kia Is headed in the Right direction, I love how they offer that NA port injected 4 cylinder that people can own for a very long time with minimal headaches. Again thank you so much Chris, take care!

    I need you expert opinion man.. would you get the Soul, Forte gt, or a Veloster ultimate as a somewhat practical daily driver in Los Angeles? If you had to pick one? Thank you. Love your channel bro.

    • @MeynMotorGroup
      @MeynMotorGroup  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m humbled that you find me an expert haha thanks so much my friend.
      I would say if ride quality is a priority, then the Kia Soul is by far the best riding car. I loved the Veloster R spec, one of the best driving cars and I’m sure the new Forte GT will be similar.
      However, as a daily, the least fatiguing choice would be the Soul. The Soul also drives identical to the standard Forte which I think is great. But certainly test them all out, all 3 are great

    Appreciate your review of this vehicle it is one of the most practical sub compact wagons/CUV/SUV/hatchback on the market. I drive a 2016 1.6L w/6 speed manual and I get 26 mpg city and 31 hwy,, the GT line will be my next one if I can get it with a manual transmission with the 2.0L, the turbo would be nice but I don’t necessarily need that. Keep up the good review.

  • @victorlapides
    @victorlapides 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    May get this with the regular 4 engine. Do you know if the steering would be a little over-light on all trims, or could it be a little less so on the trim with 16" wheels?

    • @MeynMotorGroup
      @MeynMotorGroup  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Victor thanks for stopping by. So with larger wheels like 18” your steering will respond much quicker but like I was saying in the video, I think this car reacts a bit too quickly haha.
      I think 16” rims would be perfect because it would make the steering feel more natural and of course the ride will be more comfortable. I really think it would be the perfect set up.
      Thank you for watching, hope this helps.

    Thanks for the good review. And representing the old people, we are 63 and 66, we have enjoyed the 2016 pair of Kia Souls that we bought. Would consider this one too. if this new remote is like ours, the hatch button on the remote only unlocks the hatch separately, that's all it does.

    Hey Bud, thanks for your fantastic review of the GT-Line Kia. Doug Muro can't say enough great things about this vehicle as well. However, considering I will be turning 57 in 4 months, I'm more interested in something a little more sophisticated like the 2020 Kia Sportage SX-T. Kia has given it a refresh that reminds me of a poor man's Porsche Cayenne. I would love if you can get your hands on one?

    • @MeynMotorGroup
      @MeynMotorGroup  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Greg and yes this is great but I was just about to make a video on my most favorite Kia ever....that title actually belonged to the current generation Kia Sorrento haha. The new Santa Fe is out and this is probably a good representation of what the next gen Sorrento will be.
      I love the current gen Sorrento it blew me away when I drove it and I only drove the base 4 cylinder! That thing with the V6 would be mighty. It drives like a car and almost feels superior to some German SUVs. You can probably snag some great deals on the current gen V6s because like the Santa Fe, a turbo 4 cylinder will replace it. But I do love the Sorrento check it out sir!
      Edit: I went on a total tangent about the Sorrento and I just realized I misread what you wrote you asked about the Sportage 😂 my mistake sir haha but if the Sorrento is anything to go by, the Sportage should be amazing. I will try to get my hands on some of these vehicles! Sorry I can’t read haha

    Hey dude,
    Although I'm not a Kia fan I appreciate their value for low prices. I do like the Honda Fit interior design better but it's pricey. The Kia Soul is so cheap and I'm glad to have it over the Honda. It's spacious, upright design is my favourite, the tail lights and glass-like visibility is much appreciated in the face of blind spots thanks to crash standards.
    Nice car to maneuver in tight parking and the city :)
