I went out on a whim and gave into the commercials about this vehicle. I was in need of a new vehicle and wanted something economical and stylish. The 2015 Kia Soul delivered on its qualities mentioned in the commercial. Unfortunately, it did not come included with the adorable hamsters, and I did ask.

Best budget compact car!!!
The kea Soul is deceptively compact, you cannot believe the space available inside the cabin. Even for a family car this vehicle is the best value out there. No more scooting your seat up to give your kids room, no more paying for 15 MPG. This car is fun to drive and equally as fun on your wallet.

Great unique vehicle
When I first saw the Kia soul I did not like the shape of it because it is very different. I was convinced that I was not going to get any vehicle that even resembled a hatchback. Once I drove the vehicle I loved it. The car drove very smoothly, I liked that I felt like I was in an SUV and it was a little higher off the ground then most cars but it was still smaller than an SUV and cheaper. I like the sunroof and the interior fabric/colors of the car. It was very comfortable to sit it. It has great leg room in the front for the passenger, adequate leg room in the back seats but is lacking on trunk space. The car drives very quietly. The gas mileage tends to be around 28 mpg. When I first started driving the car I felt that I had a huge blind spot when checking to switch lanes because of what was blocked back by the trunk area. My old car had mainly window in the back and this has about a foot on both sides that is not window. The more I have driven the car, the less I notice what I used to have a hard time backing up and changing lanes with. This car has an eco mode that works to find a balance between performance and gas mileage which has been great. I feel very comfortable driving this vehicle and feel very safe in it. The car does not have the best acceleration but in exchange, it allows for better gas mileage.
Kia’s massively popular box-on-wheels has gotten a significant update for the 2020 model year. Now in its third generation, the Soul is a bit more grown-up and practical as ever, while retaining enough of its quirkiness to appeal to its fanbase.
