2011 Grand Vitara has 186,000+ miles on it, wife's getting worried it's gonna strand us at some point. The ONLY issue it's ever had. was 2 years ago the battery shorted internally and took out the Alternator. NOTHING ELSE besides routine maintenance items has ever been done to it. If they were...

I have a 2016 + model with the Audio Package but I'm considering going with an aftermarket Android stereo. Does anyone have any experience with a similar swap? While I like the UVO system, I wish it could do more and going with an android system will allow me to do more of my work related...

I have a 2016 + with non-LED lights and I am considering switching everything to LED. So far I have found out that I need the following: 2X Amber 1157 for the Front Parking Lights/Turn Signals 2X White 1157 for the Brake Lights 2X Amber 1156 for the Rear Turn Signals 2X T10 for the Reverse...

Hi all - I joined this forum because we've narrowed our next car options to a Soul and one of the Mazdas. I wanted to ask a question. On the Kia website, I see that the Blind Spot Detection System is optional on the Plus trim level, but if I go to the build & price section, I don't see that...

Hi Everyone, I discovered this forum while researching putting cruise control in a manual transmission Soul. What a great thread, I read all 33 pages. My wife drives a manual trans 2006 Scion xB, I installed a Rostra cruise unit in it, and it still works great after all these years. We have...

Hello. I've been lurking this forum for a few weeks; I'm actually looking to purchase a new vehicle soon, and the Soul made it to my short-list. I have to confess, I'm surprised that I'm even considering a Kia, but the marque has come a long way up since they first started selling the Rio...

I drive a 2000 Outback now and love the thing. But it's on way out and it gets horrible fuel economy. I don't want to deal with maintenance problems constantly so I'm wanting a newer car. Souls seem relatively functional in comparison, get decent fuel economy, affordable... I'm looking at...

Hi, first post here. My wife and I are considering a Soul to replace my 2007 Audi A4. I love my A4, but we purchased a winter home in Palm Springs and we get a lot of company there, so we are looking for 1) more rear leg room and 2) a hatch back as we are upgrading bathrooms, etc. I'm aware...

My husband and I are golfers. How much space is there for 2 sets of clubs?

As the title says I am considering removing the "SOUL" and "GDI" badges from the back of my Soul. I haven't made up my mind yet, but it would be much easier to clean/wax. Does anyone know if the badges are just stuck on or do they have locating pegs? Cheers, K-Bert

I don't have a Soul yet, I want one really bad. I have two kids, a five year old, and a 9 month old. My concern is for their safety if the event a rear impact should happen. Am I just over analyzing? are they any less safe if I were to go with a Soul versus say an Optima? I did a search, but...
