    I rented one while on vacation for 10 days racked up about 1200 miles this car did great going up and down steep hills drives and breaks very well. Drives very smooth and was surprisingly spacious and good on gas definitely recommend 10/10

    I just upgraded Monday to a 2021 Kia Soul LX after driving my 2011 Kia Soul+ for almost 12 years. I am definitely loving it so far. Thanks for the review!

    Thank you VERY MUCH for this awesome review. I’m going to be buying a new 2021 LX in a few weeks or months I bought a new 2015 Kia Soul years ago it is my daily driver as I only drive my Mustang on nice days. There are many versions of the Soul but I want a base LX as a daily driver. so much value in this cars! Basically comfortable reliable economic transportation again I’m going to watch your video a few more times.

    I have 23,000 miles on my 2020 Kia Soul X-Line and just had it serviced. They checked the piston rings and did a program update on my car’s computer. No issues and it’s running like a champ. Will definitely be a repeat customer. 🇺🇸 🇰🇷

    I have a 2021. That drivers seat was all the way back. Probably for the 6' 3" reviewer. So the 6' 3" rear passenger space looked pretty tight. PLENTY of head space too. The Soul is a great 'all-around' compact SUV. Utility is it's middle name. My first automatic Soul, you don't even know it's shifting unless you punch it. Real quiet too. Best value on the market. Deals galore because the Seltos is entering the market with AWD. Just buy an extra set of wheels with good winter tires and you can go anywhere an AWD can go with 'all season' tires.

    From watching most of these reviews, the later models (2013 - 2022) seem more reliable than there predecessors. I used to discourage my wife from buying the Soul when she loved em 11 years ago, now I won't talk her out of buying 2022 LX even though I wished the base model came with LED headlights and multizone AC control. 🤔👀

    What aggravates me is any manufacturer can make a mistake this happened to be the heat treat on the piston rings that's not the problem the problem is the dealer tries to blow this off so they don't have to do the repair and this is the expensive repair and they know you women out there aren't going to check the oil in these cars at 3000 4000 miles you take it to the dealer and have them change it and you think everything's good while the dealer ain't going to tell you if it's losing oil or not that's up to the operator that's your job open the hood check the dipstick put it back in the hole pull it out see where the level is that's up to you that's the operator you're running it that's your responsibility and their responsibility is to replace the motor if it's using a lot of oil that's their problem that's not your problem

    See that red car he's advertising their do you hear it running it sounds like a diesel that's because the piston rings are scraping the cylinder walls big time it's shaving off the metal as it sitting there running after they put a new motor in it it'll be a good car if they fix the ring problem Osmond's beautiful now 2021 ex but after they put the engine in it replace the engine imagine that replace the engine on a brand new car and the bad part about that I looked all through the compartments in their the glovebox the armrest and everything and I didn't even get a pair of chopsticks with it

    Have the dealer change the oil then start checking it at 500 miles and 1400 miles to see where the level goes if you're not checking the oil you're clueless what the motors doing you have to monitor your own engine oil the dealers not going to do it for you but when they change it and the filter the full mark driving 500 check it see where it's at if it's going down drive it a thousand see where it's at check it and if it's going down take it back to the dealer and some hay this thing's use an oil they got to do something with it they made this problem they sold you the car they need to fix it

    And don't let him bullshit you until the store that's normal oil consumption and that's in the normal for Kia for those cars to be doing that well it's not normal and if they're using oil like that it's either going through the valve guides or the piston rings they don't want to do this job because it's a lot of work in the material for the job with the motor and the gaskets in the front cover and everything is about 37 hundred bucks but if you don't check the dipstick yourself and take pictures of it with your cell phone then your lost you got to keep a paper log of this thing to all the times you went back to the dealer and if they can't get any satisfaction they also have a lemon law little Lemon Law attorney and go after them
