Anyone know of any prominent problems with the 2019 Kia Soul+ ? Considering buying one because of great luck with my 2013 Soul+. 330000 and still going with original trans and motor. Changed oil, tires, and brakes. That’s it!!

Well, the transmission is the same 6 speed automatic so that will be reliable. The engines on the other hand, not so much.

The GDI engines have been troublesome for some people with excessive oil consumption or failure, and that engine is included in the Knock Sensor Detection System software update and warranty extension on the rod bearings. I’d avoid it.
