2014 Kia Soul, my third Soul!
This is my third Soul, having owned 2011 and 2013 Exclaim models (just replaced the 2013 Exclaim model with a new 2016 Soul Plus, leather, power heated and ventilated seats, full glass roof, all the goodies, even heated rear seats!), and they keep getting better and better! Budgetary limitations forced me to purchase the '13 Base A/T in 2013. Have owned it for 30 months and 28,400 miles and it is a dream! No repair issues, just regular maintenance at my dealer. The redesign of the chassis/frame and the suspension system has resulted in a much quieter smoother riding car with a stiffness that is screaming "quality!". The 2016 Soul rides even better and is much quieter. Time has confirmed that my initial positive impressions of the '13 Soul were accurate, nearing the end of another pleasurable ownership period as the lease turn-in is this coming November. Time for another KIA, probably a Sportage this time!!!

2014 kia soul exclaim with whole shabang package
I purchased this vehicle on Halloween 2015. It was time to upgrade vehicles. Researched over dozen vehicles for months. Finally narrowed search to soul or scion xb. But fell in love with a white soul exclaim with whole shabang package. It was in perfect condition with 13,600 miles. Negotiated hard for 2 weeks. Finally got my price 16,998. It has been a dream to drive no negatives here at all. It's like driving a Korean Bentley lol. Only thing I warn you. If your buying a USED soul or any Kia. Make sure it's from a kia dealer and certified. Otherwise you lose the 10 yr 100,000 mile power train warranty. I bought mine from a mazda dealer. Hope to see you on the road! Update!!! Nearly 5 months of ownership. Still loving my soul !. No issues to report. Have 19119 miles now. Only minor issue is every time you start car up. Navigation always asks for permission needing 2 taps on screen to get you to use navigation or radio. Nothing serious, just little irritating lol. Still recommend this vehicle to those who want great value, space & comfort. Still Loving my Soul 23 months into it! Update, 53,100 on 9/22/18, still nothing negative to report. Update, 9/24/19 66,450 miles car is still operating like a champ. No major issues to mention. Just performing regular maintenance schedule.

Amazing !
I was looking for a second car,to save miles on my 14 Scion Tc, I already had 11,000 miles in 6 mos. I saw a commercial for 2014 Souls for $10,900. from a local dealer. I ended up paying $11,300, because I did not qualify for the military discount. I did not even drive it ! The color is amazing, Latte Brown. I had owned one of the first 10 Soul sport models in 09, so I had an idea of what to expect. Boy was I in for a shock ! When I left the dealership I was speechless. The car was so quiet and it drove so nicely. The interior was so upscale, and the features shocked me. Nice stereo, Satellite radio, power heated mirrors, p.windows, p.locks,bluetooth streaming, adj. p.steering ,nice ride.
Trophy winner for a lemon
I would never recommend the 2014 kia soul. My car from day one which was bought brand new was always in the shop. Now the car is 4 years old and just reached a little over 100,000 miles (yes I was commuting for some time) and the car caught fire while I was driving. This year and model should be recalled. It's a danger to anyone who drives it. Also this car had 4 battery changes, the alternator changed at year 3, and I did take very good care of this vehicle. Save your money, sanity, and safety DO NOT buy this car.

Worst car ever
I bought my 2014 Kia Soul not even a year ago, and ever since I bought it, it’s been one problem after another, I had too replace the battery and alternator which is no big deal stuff goes out on cars, but then not too long after my headlights would turn on and off, then my car wouldn’t start quite often, then we thought okay let’s replace the starter so then we replace the starter and still the car doesn’t start and every time we would have too start it we have too put it in N, so then that’s something I adjusted too, but then not even a week ago, I was driving and my car stalled and my engine started knocking, and now I need a new engine with my engine blown. We checked I completely had enough oil, and my engine had gone out with only having 100,000 miles. This is the absolutely WORST car I’ve EVER had in my entire life, and I will NEVER buy a Kia ever again. Not too mention I got it from a certified Kia dealership.
