2010 Kia Soul Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by knightsna

Exterior styling

Clean and simple with a minimum of the square corners of its competition.

Fuel economy

When new I was getting 30 MPG out of the gate. Now on longer trips at 65 MPH I get 31+ At 55 (roughly 2500 RPM I get 34 MPG.

Rear seat room & comfort

You can fit another two big people behind you even when you are a 6 footer. Headrests for all passangers. Safety side curtains for all passengers.

Driving position & visibility

Good view all around except for the rear pillars. Better rear view than most of its competition.

Ride smoothness

Although I have the ! I refused to take the 18" wheels. Glad I did not get them. The ride is stable but for longer trips over rougher roads its not as comfortable as it could be. A little more foam for the seats and a littly better damping is needed.

Quietness

Its a little buzzy at 65, but its reving at 3000 RPM so I cut it some slack. Good power but not a sports car. Turbo this little buggy and it could be interesting.
