What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Kia Soul
| Price of the Kia Soul: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | I was planning to buy a stripped down Soul, but for grins asked the dealer what a fully-equipped model would run. When he came back with the number, I was pleasantly surprised and bought the tricked out Exclaim model. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Affordable |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | The base price in the 13teens and a well apointed car in the 15-16teens make It a great option to own over an expensive lease. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | its great price with good financing |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | I was able to get the Soul + model with the options I wanted for sub 17k price tag. This workes well because I wanted to buy and not lease a vehicle and the payments do not break they bank. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | The Soul is priced much less than comparably equipped cars from other manufacturers. Kia has a niche in the "less is more" market. I have found the initial quality of this car impressive. I hope it continues to impress. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Ton of value for the MSRP, when compared with Scion XB & Others |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Payments under $350 for all the things I want in a car except fog lights |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Comfort for four American-sized humans; room for a little luggage; pretty much any common option you could want (minus maybe heated seats and mirrors malice distinctive styling; and excellent fit and finish for around $16,000? Yes, please. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | For what you get, you feel like you should be paying over $20k for it all. I felt like I was robbing the dealer. Kia has come a long way. |

What Our Members Are Saying about Kia Soul Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Kia Soul: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
IMHO, materials & workmanship are judged in part by their durability, but fit and finish are quite good. And Kia is a fast learner: interior plastics which scratched easily in 2009 models were replaced with tougher materials for 2010 models. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
After 5 months there are no rattles or squeaks or loose parts. The textures and lines are clean and attractive. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The sound of the doors slamming, the quality of the seats, not a blemish on the car, and I looked. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Well made, solid doors and body. No gapping in body work or interior details. Not a dime a dozen vehicle! |

| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Felt like a cheap vehicle. Many rattles. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I personaly do not have a problem with the interior of the car. However, you can see that the floormats and some the the plastics on the inside are a little cheaper grade then some cars. However, when you keep it clean it look nearly the same. |
