We had a Kia Soul as a rental car. Let me be honest, you don’t like them until you have one for a week. They’re terrific little cars, I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a cool hatchback thing.
I totally agree. When I saw that I was getting a Kia Soul for a rental, I was disappointed. As soon as I got in and drove it, I changed my mind. Looking to get one now.
Doug than proceeds to save 18 seats when less people he invited bother to show up and everyone at the theater is ticked off about how the seats that were once claimed are now available; when they wanted the seat they couldn't have it.
You live in the past. Listen to the journalist reviews not the American competition car company that previously bought daewoo.. kia and Hyundai's lower level sister company and put their chevy and Pontiac name on them and then sold them to brainwashed Americans.
I just bought a base 2021. The base engine is not boring, it has great low end for around town driving. I was shocked tonight when I stabbed the gas at 65, saw the tach snap to almost 6 grand and felt it pull cleanly and smoothly to 100much better than I expected it to. I also just drove from Reno to the Bay Area, used the cruise control at 6 5 for the whole trip and got 39.3 mpg. I'm very happy with this purchase and look forward to many more miles behind the wheel while I finish rebuilding my 91 Corvette.
Yeah just make sure you keep a VERY keen eye on oil levels and make sure your PCV valve is replaced at least every 30k miles or your engine will die. I have a 2016 with 250k miles on it and all I have changed is the alternator but everyone else is losing their engines

I'm 51 years old living in serious snow country and have never climbed in any of the cars I've ever owned with winter gloves on! That's just weird to me...
Ended up buying a Soul after years of never thinking I would buy one, and I've had 0 problems with it so far 2 years and 52k miles in. Fantastic car, very roomy for the size (I've camped in the car even), and gets good mileage if you drive it right (I even got 43 mpg on a drive once, and usually get 36-40 mpg every drive). Love the quirky design as well, always loved quirky looking cars. Very surprised with how practical the car is, considering Kia's reputation for subpar quality.
Even in America we have things like the Chevy Sonic (Aveo abroad), Chevy Spark, Toyota Yaris, Mitsubishi Mirage (Space Star in Europe), Smart Fortwo, and Honda Fit. But that's about it.
Earl E Bird it oddly was not a popular option on the xB but was standard on the xA. The xA got a lot of goodies standard and I’m sure it’s because it’s ugly. The xB was supposed to be optioned and customized more. So it had less of the cool stuff standard.
Everyone was telling me it’s junk. But I don’t believe them. I had a Mercury Mariner 20005 everyone told me it’s junk and it has 225k miles did some regular maintenance to it but really fun to drive
The company I work for got me one of these as a rental and I have fallen in love with it. The seating is crazy spacious. I'm really contemplating on getting one.
This is why Toyota had their Scion division. They could do weird stuff, then everyone would get the stuff, and they could do new weird stuff while regular Toyotas adopted the newly normal features.
I just instantly started likeing the soul after I saw a lime green one in a parking lot. In a sea of grey blob this thing really does stand out and its just an antidote to the boring cars of today. I just bought a 2019 Kia Forte, but I would love to get a Soul down the line in either red or you guessed it lime green baby ! Looking at this thing makes me feel alive !
I reaalllyyy want him to review the upcoming electric 2 door version. Pretty much every review is with the 4 door or the countryman. Also Doug never really reviewed a mini(except comparing with a hummer)
Don't be fooled by the tall roof. The Kia Soul has less ground clearance than a Mazda3 and it's shorter in length than a Volkswagen Golf. It's basically a compact car in every dimension, except it's been tall-ified.

This is very informative. Thank you!

We're considering getting the new 2020 and this video helped a lot.
size class is actually not a subjective thing. it's objective, and depends on the interior volume of the car. just because it looks big, or is very efficient at giving you usable space, doesn't mean it has the cubic feet required to be classified as mid-size or large car.
Im disappointed with this review because doug only said the word “funky” 1,457 times. This car is worthy of AT LEAST 1,866 “funkies”. And don’t even get me started on the “quirkies”

I have a 2014 Soul + model and it has been a great car. In a few years I'm definatley going to buy a new GT turbo model. I never liked Kia in general until I bought my Soul but I will buy another one for sure.
I just bought a 2018 Kia Soul for my elderly mother today. She likes the ease of getting in and out and also the higher than sedan seat height. The headroom makes the car feels spacious. The trunk is shallow but tall, makes it easy for her to load and unload grocery.
personally, i'd call 6.3 pretty zippy for a subcompact. but the weekend category is about high performance, and there is an objective scale that doug uses to judge cars... acceleration in a car like this is just not going to look good when it's compared to sports cars, even if it is fun for the average person to drive.
Me before the video: "Yeah that seems like a practical car" Doug: "You can even check the doppler radars on the infotainment system" Me now: **OKAY I NEED THAT NOW**
Doug I purchased a Kia Soul 2016 I love it so much that I went back and bought a 2019. My 2016 Kia Soul right now has over 120,000 miles and running strong, we are a Kia family. We all drive Kia. We are also the proud owners of a Sportage, Sedona and Forte. And what you said about the warranty no other car manufacturers have the warranty that Kia has of 10 years, 100,000 miles.
He scrolled right past BC, so it seems all of Canada is likely included as states. Get the hockey sticks and pitchforks. It's time to riot politely, eh.
@@andy4an Shut up going on about cubic feet of interior space. It's not objectively small if you use a tape measure on the outside. Stop talking bollocks.
Yes, Doug, they did think outside the box. And once outside that box, they saw the box, and designed the KIA Soul based on that box.
Boxy cars are not ugly. In fact it is a good design choice, although American mentality doesn't understand that.
My sister drives a jeep patriot and its boxy.
I'm sorry the car you are thinking of is the first gen Scion xb

I thought more of a Range Rover, personally.
If you look at it it looks like a s13 coupe
It looks like a Ferrari ...

A fucking KIA has the same power and is nearly as fast as a brz while being many times more practical.
Is it me or the climate control vents with the small speakers look like an image of actual speaker 🔈 5:13? That’s a neat quirk!
I noticed that too! I think it's supposed to look like a speaker projecting the mood lighting on the doors
@A real bisexual petrol-head Ur gay, please don't buy this car. You need a gay car. Buy a Mini Cooper.
@@jimbrown341 Or a Fiat 500 Pop
@A real bisexual petrol-head if you buy a car based off of vent shape, maybe you shouldn't be buying a car.
Carlos Barahona haven’t noticed until you mentioned it 🧐
I have a 2014 Soul + model and it has been a great car. In a few years I'm definatley going to buy a new GT turbo model. I never liked Kia in general until I bought my Soul but I will buy another one for sure.
Just got the 2018 +
Love my Soul!
I had this car as a rental and I absolutely hated the hell out of it
@@jackdren9974 Thanks for your opinion. They are awesome cars to some
@Lol Under powered? Sounds like you haven't drove 3 speed auto economy cars in the early 90's.
Normal sized sedan: **exist**
Americans: "That's a compact."
I've lived in 7 different countries in NA, Asia, Africa, and SA. Everywhere I've been the soul would be a compact.
@@sphong0610 That's not the point, the point he's making is "my country better than your country because you is dumb" lol.
@Teamgeist haha also that!
This is a suv or a crossover.
The soul is definitely a small car.
Apparently In Kia's eyes, the United States has already annexed Canada?
That proves people in US think they are in the center of world.
@@gardemeister it's a Korean car company.
@@mostlyjovial6177 So you mean people in US buy Korean , Japanese cars and won't travel to Canada ?
I blame Canada.
yeah okay@@gardemeister
Doug, the type of guy to take a Citroën 2CV to the Nürburgring.

The mood lamp officially sold me and he was playing Destiny’s child lamaooo I already liked this car, but now I 😍
Doug the type of guy to drive Forklift to pickup girls.
and explains the quirks and features to them
what's he do with a pallet jack then?
Cause Doug like em thicc

Lol
I just bought a 2018 Kia Soul for my elderly mother today. She likes the ease of getting in and out and also the higher than sedan seat height. The headroom makes the car feels spacious. The trunk is shallow but tall, makes it easy for her to load and unload grocery.
Soul is sold in Russia massively. That's why seat heating buttons are so big.
Pavel Mikhalkov I’ve never seen ‘massively’ used to describe a large quantity of items sold
So, Russians have big fat fingers then?
@@FromSagansStardust Big furry mittens 9 months a year.
Trubin 561 i’m sure your grammar in Russian is perfect
Just watched the Straight Pipes review of the Soul. Apparently when you don't spec cooled seats, they just make the heated seat button bigger
Doug is the kind of guy who goes trolling in passive mode in GTA Online.
Haha.
spose you have to be under 20 to get that
I’m 50 & I get it! Grove street 4 life!
@@seanmiller6556 yea i need to get with it
Doug - if it doesn't light up, it's not a light bar. Just like a counter isn't a stove top... because it doesn't stove
Doug: I like the KIA Soul because it thinks outside of the box!
Kia Soul: Literally a box

That was dark 13:35
The car goes from 0-60 in 6.3 seconds, so Doug rates the acceleration a 3/10.....Isn't that pretty quick for a subcompact?
and something that tall and big
Its not for a subcompact. Its over all.
personally, i'd call 6.3 pretty zippy for a subcompact. but the weekend category is about high performance, and there is an objective scale that doug uses to judge cars...
acceleration in a car like this is just not going to look good when it's compared to sports cars, even if it is fun for the average person to drive.
Most of the cars he tests accelerate between 2.5 and 3.5 sec 0-60 so 6.3 sec is "slow" lol
Not sure where he got 6.3 seconds from, We have the same engine in the UK and 0-60 takes around 7 seconds.
I'm a redhead and Kia said they couldn't sell me a soul 😣
Sorry. Some rules were just not meant to be broken.
What
Buy now the new Kia Soul*
*terms and conditions apply to buyers
Go to CarMax. : )
Wait, i did not get the joke
Ive been obsessed with kia souls since ive been 15 never had another car since
They increased the ground clearance from 5.9 to 6.7in. So now it has more ground clearance than the Mazda 3.
Doug is the type of guy to pull his pants all the way down at a urinal
He actually does.
Very unoriginal. This one is stated on almost all his videos.
Is it bad that i a actually used to do that as a kid?
@@jeffs6090 cause it's true? 🤣🤣🤣
And lifts his shirt up
Does the grill not remind you of Lamborghini interior themes? Same "Y" and hexagonal theme no?
Tasteful Transportation the whole front looks like the urus
Looks like a poor mans wanna be Range Rover with some touch of Lamborghini but with cheap quality
It’s ugly as fuck
Kia and hyundai are notorious for copying other companies designs. How they haven't been sued by every other car company is still a mystery to me
I have always felt Kia has looked at other cars for inspiration, like the car that looks like a civic.
Me before the video: "Yeah that seems like a practical car"
Doug: "You can even check the doppler radars on the infotainment system"
Me now: **OKAY I NEED THAT NOW**
Doug is the kind of guy that still rocks Destiny Child, and i love it
"Baby, say my NAAAAAMMMEE!"
Who doesn't?!
Would love to see you do just ONE review in a three-piece suit. Please!
His suit is three pieces: cargo shorts, T-shirt, and T-shirt #2.
u mean 3 pieces of t-shirt?
Peter Kristoffersen I cant stand his tacky clothes
And it has to be a review of a crappy little barebones hatch back
LaserChair well, three pieces of shorts would get him banned.
Doug is a type of a guy who calls the number at the back of SNICKERS and express his view why peanuts were not salted
Ed, fess up, you’ve done that.
Imagine getting in an Uber tripping balls and the back seat has pulsating music lights 😂
If Doug was a car he would be a Kia Soul
@Doug they used to have a marketing campaign that used to say "The Soul from Seoul"
Doug the type of guy to pull his pants down to fart

Doug I purchased a Kia Soul 2016 I love it so much that I went back and bought a 2019. My 2016 Kia Soul right now has over 120,000 miles and running strong, we are a Kia family. We all drive Kia. We are also the proud owners of a Sportage, Sedona and Forte. And what you said about the warranty no other car manufacturers have the warranty that Kia has of 10 years, 100,000 miles.
That’s great to know thanks!!!
Are they known to honor it at least?
this is my wife. she is on her third Soul and she loves them. Honestly I i kinda like the car too.
The province of manitoba is very offended right now.
Peatur Parkir Manitoba is so weird
He was being sarcastic. LOL
He scrolled right past BC, so it seems all of Canada is likely included as states. Get the hockey sticks and pitchforks. It's time to riot politely, eh.
@@Prowler9000 Fuck that, release the Canadian Geese...eh
@@Prowler9000 Was Doug joking or does he actually think our Provinces are extra states?
Doug demuro listens to destiny's child AND Jimmy eat world? What a guy
Dude this car does not look small
the classifications are based on cubic feet of interior space. it's objectively small, even if it doesn't look it.
Doug literally has to get on one knee to show the rear of the car
@skyline if that's the case make a brand new model for that.
@@andy4an Shut up going on about cubic feet of interior space.
It's not objectively small if you use a tape measure on the outside. Stop talking bollocks.
Michael Roma look at 8:52
Just bought the kia soul EX LOVE IT! got all the bells and whistles ! great review Doug!
