Brilliant Car
By Brendan on Saturday, April 20, 2024
This car has every thing. Fun to Drive Great on Gas , lots of room , Very Quiet Very modern interior , infotainment is excellent I would definitely recommend this car for the price - 5.0
Best car in my life
By Ken R on Thursday, August 24, 2023
The first thing you should do is drive a kia Soul. It holds the road. The electric power steering steers like a micrometer! Brakes in the dime, rides like a much larger car,sits high so you don't feel like you are lying down. Ac and heater has the power to cool and heat rapidly. Enough room for 4 people comfortably, Great gas mileage with good acceleration! I have owned many different cars in my life and this is the best made one I have owned. I am 79 years old! - 5.0
If you can find a better car for $20,000 buy it.

Let’s begin with it’s not a Ferrari, it’s great transportation for $20,000. That in mind, great warranty, decent acceleration, loads of room, good ride, easy in and out and actually fun to drive. My son has a 2021, zero issues. I bought a 2023 for an around town car to keep mileage off my BMW and Bronco. All said, you can’t buy a better car for $20,000.
