I’m wondering if any of the models in this generation came with a turbo, and if the turbo came on the 1.6l?

Howdy from Houston! I just purchased a 2012 Kia Soul Base locally (steal of a deal), and already searching the forum for upgrades. Car Specs: Year: 2012 Option: Base Engine: 1.6L Trans: 6-Speed Manual Color: Silver With Racing Stripe Wheels: 18" Rims (not Steel stock) Mine did not come...

Greetings from Chicago, fellow Kia Soul forum members! We just purchased a new 2018 Soul + in Clear White, and we absolutely love the car. I've "lurked" around this forum, and you folks are quite knowledgeable. So, I decided to join. I'm sure I'll have some questions ... one is already...

First time KIA owner. I previously had a Honda Accord but in replacing it I decided to go in a different direction so to speak. I like the higher seat/ride height - my Accord was quite low to the ground - and the more versatile and useable interior - I removed the rear seat back to make more...

I've been on the hunt for a Soul for my 15 year old son. We purchased a 2014 Soul + Thursday. The car is in good shape overall, and has 102,000 on the odometer. Coming from all GM vehicles, I must say it's a very nice car. It's very roomy inside, has a great stereo, and lots of goodies. It's a...

A couple weeks ago I purchased my yellow 2015 Soul Plus. It replaced my 13 year old yellow Ford Focus hatchback zx3 which treated me very well since I bought it brand new. The Soul came without a back dash/cargo cover. I found one and bought it through ebay. It also came without fog lights...

Hello everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself to the community and ask a question... forgive me if their is a previous post on it already. I just purchased a 2017 Soul + and haven't even put 100 miles on it yet. I wanted to purchase the billet pedals (automatic) but didn't see any for the...

Hi all! I just purchased a new 2016 kia soul in alien green. I wanted more info on the modes available (comfort, sport, and normal) I had been in normal as I was told it's better gas milage. Just changed to comfort and noticed a big difference in the ride. Is it more economical to pick one...

So far we are very happy with the car. On a trip from Naples, FL to Orlando and back we only got 26 MPG. That is less than our 2014 Hyaundai Sante Fe Sport which gets right at 30 MPG on a trip. After driving it for three weeks, I'm sorry I didn't pay more for the larger 2.0 engine but read this...

Hi Everyone, I love my new Soul! I couldn't see where I can post a question, so I hope this will be an ok place to ask my question. I was just no trying to find out where to store the cargo cover inside my car. It doesn't fit anywhere. Is it possible that Kia did not create a storage place...

Hi! I am Catherine and I just bought my car a week ago. I am from Markham ont. Took it for a drive to Niagara on Sunday and it was a blast. Kids are gone so it was time to buy something just for me! Looking forward to getting to know my new Soulmates!

Newbie still trying to figure out all the buttons on my new Kia Soul. I downloaded the manual but prefer a book in my hands, so I ordered the manual today. I love it so far! Not sure about the shiftable transmission and when to use the ECO setting. Hence, that's why I need the manual, lol!

The title says it all. Signed purchase documents 03/21/2015. Delivery expected on 03/25/2015.

Hello everyone. I got the lime green Soul the other day. No manual though and could not find an easy download. Specifically want to know how traction control works- there is a button there to the bottom left of the steering column that just shows an image and says "OFF". My first Kia.

Today I purchased my clear bar & detail spray - can't wait to detail my car tomorrow Few words needed. *clay*

Just picked up my 2014 Kia Soul Red Zone Edition and I love it!! Quick question, The speaker lights that light up for music or mood; how do I make them brighter? When I have it on the music its very dim and I tried pushing the + symbol on the dial but it doesn't do anything. Whereas if I have...

Hi Everyone, I Purchased a new 2013 Kia Soul 2U - Automatic 2.0 I am hoping someone can reassure me that what I have gone through is a fluke and I will soon be very happy with my new Soul! On Dec 31st 2013 I picked up my new car from the KIA dealer in St-Eustache Quebec. I first noticed that...

Hi there, Soulsters of the world! I thought it would be very fun to start a new thread with everyone sharing their experience on the first day they went and purchased their Kia Soul! Share with us what it was like when you went to the dealer, all the experiences there, and what you were feeling...

No one can say this ginger doesn't have a Soul anymore! I was driving a 00 Eclipse RS until the timing belt snapped on me, 150k miles - you would think I would have replaced it by then eh? So found myself hunting for a used car, and the Soul got me. I had my heart set on a Hyundai Sonata or...

Greetings all! I have been a Ford Ranger owner for the past 15+ years. The latest Ranger was 10 years old and repair costs were adding up. Plus it was getting too hard to ferry the kids around trying to swap between the Ranger and my wife's Altima. I needed a new 4 door car with good mpg and a...
