Just wondering if anyone has gotten to 200,000 miles or more on the original engine. I have not seen any with that many miles for sale or used?

Roughly 141,500 miles
Close but no cigar.
I remember Soul Rush saying he had 150K miles awhile back. At least I think so. Let me search it....
I'm at 16x,xxx right now on my 2010.

Just curious, how many timing belts have you changed?
My 04 elantra (basically same engine) went 120k+ before I changed it.

Today odometer says = 169,200 miles
currently working an "exit" plan for my 2010, would like not to have to replace timing belt again . . . .

Was it horribly expensive? >.> I'm just at 75K and have been planning out changing belts, plugs, etc.

Don't know about where he or you are but here in NE Illinois I was quoted about $550 for Belt, water pump and drive belts from our local Kia dealer.

I just bought a Kia Soul today from the dealership, it has 150,000 miles. I hope it makes it another 100,000 miles!
I've seen several 200,000 miles plus on Cars.com & some on Fuelly. That's alot of miles for a car as new as the Soul.

So, how's it holding up?

Tell Linus I said Hey. :)
According to this, it has over 400k, until you look up Carfax.

No real problems. I've replaced the alternator, other than that just maintenance items. I had the rear bumper and tail light surrounds repainted because the clear coat flaked off, like some souls have experienced, the mirror caps have developed the same problem, so I'll get that fixed.

What engine oil do you use in your Soul?? Also is it a manual? When do you get the fluids changed?
