When I had my 2013 Soul 1.6L, I had already driven it about 75,000 miles, over six years, when I got a letter from KIA, telling me to take my car in to my dealer for an inspection of the engine.
They had become aware of a defect in the engine that might require a repair, or even an engine replacement.
At about that same time, I discovered metal 'chips' on the Magnetic Oil Drain Plug, when I changed my oil.
That told me that I'd probably require a new engine, and I didn't want to go through that experience on a seven year old car.
So I just traded in my 2013 Soul for a 2020 Soul LX. It was a good move for me. I do love my 2020 Soul LX.
Cheers mates,
