Kia Soul (2014 - 2019) 1.6 CRDi Connect Plus 5d (2014/64) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not sure what it says about us but what it says about itself is "I'm different and you won't see many of me around!".

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Most people don't know what it is and are surprised at the amount of room in it and all the equipment. A lot think it is four wheel drive.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably but we're not planning to change it for at least seven years, when the warranty runs out.

What are you likely to buy next?

Not thought about that as very happy with what we have.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

September 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Very happy with the part exchange/purchase deal we got.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Something different and not a Mini or a Juke.

What was the dealer like?

Very easy to deal with, no pressure selling and just as happy to hear a "No" as well as a "Yes" when negotiating.

What's it like to drive?

One of the easiest and most comfortable cars we've ever had to use on a daily basis. Mainly used for short journey work with an occasional cross country trip. Pulls well in all gears, even sixth, although would never class it as a ball of fire but then we didn't buy it for that.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park with large mirrors and reversing camera. It's actually a larger car than you think.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong, would prefer a little better MPG, we get around 45 average but we were aware it wasn't the most frugal car around.

What's most practical about your car?

So easy and comfortable to drive and park.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Reversing camera and multi-media screen.
