Kia Soul review

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Despite what the press reviews say, especially about noise and ride, this is a great car to drive. Easy to get in & out, comfortable, electric adjustable and heated front seats. 3 driving modes eco (efficient and great for general road use), standard & sport (fast when required, just press the button on the steering wheel!). Real world 37 mpg from a 201 bhp turbo petrol (despite not being the most aerodynamic body). Full of kit, 8" infotainment (dab, satnav, apple/android play, bluetooth etc), reversing camera, I could go on and on. However, this is not the car for just tootling around to the local shops/school run etc. If that's your main use then cold engine and short 2/3 mile round trips will get you 11-15 mpg. Don't say you haven't been warned

How reliable do you find the car?

small but annoying dashboard rattle but soon sorted by dealership

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Despite what the press reviews say this is the best car I've owned. Easy to get in & out, fast (when required) and real world 37 mpg from a 201hp turbo petrol I think is fantastic.
