Kia Soul (2009 - 2013) 1.6 CDRi 2 5d Auto (2010/60) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Sensible. It is spacious. It has a huge hatchback. Last week we transported a children's playground in the back of it. It is like Doctor Who's Tardis. Deceptively enormous inside.

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

They all love it. All of them can get in it and everyone can get a seat. WE can have a party in our car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. We have had this car for over two years. It has done every single thing we asked it to do. We are almost certainly going to trade this Soul in for another one.

What are you likely to buy next?

We will trade this Soul in for another one

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£14,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. When we bought it - it was a new model and not yet established.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Unique. It looks so different to everything else out there.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly and approachable. So much so that we are very likely to go back this year and trade it for an updated new version of the same car.

What's it like to drive?

A dream. A high driving seat. Good view. Powerful. For a standard 1.6 diesel it does everything on the road that is legal. Best grip we have ever had. This car is glued to the road.

What's it like to park?

Power steering and automatic gears. This car almost parks itself.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes. Driver's door electric window faulted. We took it in and they sorted it in a couple of hours.

What's most practical about your car?

Grip. It is only front-wheel drive - but it ploughs through snow and over ice when every other car is in a ditch except for 4X4s.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
