Kia Soul EV (2023) review

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

In their own words

I bought this car with 10,000 miles on the clock . My first EV very excited about doing my bit to save the planet. But at about 17,000 miles a clicking noise for around the motor area , took it to be looked at , a fault was found. It went into the garage TWO months later returned to me with a new motor and a new gearbox. About 18 months later 12 volt battery failed, not the end of the world a consumable item , not under warranty. A few weeks later it won’t charge , back in the garage , it’s been unusable for about six weeks now. Kia’s largest dealership in the U.K. NK Motors and Kia UK customer services have the most appalling attitude towards customers, the car breaks down again and again weeks with no transport , they don’t care at all.
So unfortunately due to Kia uk and NK Motors it back to a diesel for me , cheers Kia!!!
