  • This is one of the ugliest cars on British roads.

    How anyone can buy a car that looks like this is totally beyond belief. It looks like it was designed by a 5 year old girl. The designers at Kia then took that girl's crayon drawing of a car and literally turned it into a real-life car - exactly like the drawing.

    How can anyone take this car seriously? Let alone seriously enough to actually buy it?

    Anyone who buys this car has no idea about looks or any taste in cars whatsoever. Idiots.

  • Center armrest should be standard on all trim levels ... this is a deal breaker for me.

  • so your saying you would rather have 128hp than 164 hp which the 2012 soul has? and still gets 34 mpg hwy? ok , whatever, get the car you want

  • I just got my first car thats the soul! I love it. However I have to agree with the cube.

  • so does all these people that compare the differenet car forget about the Honda Element, The car that started the 4dr boxes?

  • WTF I searched Scion XB and this Piece of Shit came up?!?

  • who gives a fuck about del la soul and t that shit music. turn it off

  • Scion xB shits on Cube and Soul

  • the 2008-present Kia Soul is assembled in

    Gwangju, South Korea

    Jiangsu, China

    Oskemen, Kazakhstan

  • I am all for the Kia soul

  • hmm would a 16 year old want this?

  • Well my Soul Tempest gets so much attention so a horrible car ...i don't think so this car has everything its cool its different its a stunning looking car and those that don't think so must need their eyes testing !

  • KIA Soul 4U RULES!!!!!! I love this car!!!!!

  • Any other car company > kia

  • why did i watch this

  • If I put a knob on the front and cut slots in the roof I believe toast may pop out.

  • check out the niva the soul diva kia soul review

  • KM is the shit lol

  • does the base light up?

  • yeah just like all the other cars and suvs getting recalled today..

  • I would rather get the new Nissan Juke

  • @64bitgfx buy an american car i don't get why kias,nissan hyundai, and toyota should be outlawed.because your taking jobs away from hard working amercan aand giving money to the fucking koreans

  • @64bitgfx .... The Juke is actually even smaller than the Soul, especially the back seat and rear cargo area ... but Juke has turbocharged engine, so depends what you're looking for.

  • @tom11zz884 Except for the fact that Kia has history of their cars catching fire going back several decades now. The Soul is still relatively new so having serious defects such as faulty wiring that can cause the car to catch fire and steering columns that collapse while you are driving (NHTSA investigated that and in their own words "due to poor quality steering components") there is reason to think twice about it. It's important for people to know these things.

  • cube is well better...cube is so fuckin retro cool this is jus cheap piss on toast

  • @yorkshirerepresenter the cube is NOT retro the cube is UGLY!!!

  • kia soul is a awsome looking car i love it im getting on here within 2 weeks

  • I love this vehicle, very different than many others the design is modern and unique with many options

  • I love that car! I can't wait to get mine!

  • @familyguyLPfan934 me too! im sure you got yours now though...I will get mine sometime within a year..I have to save up lol

  • @AniceAct I actually hvent got mine yet.. But soon! I'm gunna save up a bit more money and then I'll get it, like you, within a year.

  • @familyguyLPfan934 dude don't buy a soul because there made in korea and they try to hide also they can only go like 80 thet suck

  • This looks much better than that xB and that UGLY ass Cube. I don't know why you guys don't like it.

  • Why the hell did I watch this?!?

  • anybody know how much this car in saudi arabia

  • I like those style of cars

  • i freekin want that carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • i dont like it. but it seems like a good car for the money if you can stand the looks

  • What I like about Carscom is that they give good reviews.

  • The SOUL is a baby compared to the adult XB....i have only seen chics drive SOUL in vegas and I don't see alot of SOUL in vegas...just mostly XBs.

  • They had to use hamsters in the commercial because this car is aimed at minority teens and if they were to use blacks or hispanics those two races would start whining about Kia being racist. My source: I have a family member employed in Kia's administration department.

  • @USCUSCTrojan where do you people come from? Honestly

  • @ccm800 Earth - specifically from a school in C.A. that is not well known (USC).

  • We just bought a used one (2010, 13K miles) and it rocks! It's the "Exclaim" version in Java (brown), and it looks really good. It has a surprising amount of kick to it, especially getting on the freeway. We've yet to see what our mileage actually comes out to, but a fillup for $30 after a week is a refreshing change from the $60 the Jeep Grand Cherokee inline 6 (our other car, for now) will suck through in less time. The Soul is highly recommended.

  • Are these safe?

  • I'm in love :)

  • @genzcop by the way im over 200 but i havent had any problems... not once.... :) no hums or buzzes when i accelerate... its so silent.. still sounds new.... test drive it man... my forte runs better than my 2007 civic...

  • @genzcop i like hyundai too.. but right now im enjoying my forte :)

  • @genzcop my forte is over 200 and its still runs new

  • i was wondering if this would be a good first car for a new driver, about 17?

  • Got the Red Kia Soul Sport today. My first car! Woop. Most amazing thing EVER!

  • My Kia Soul is a sport, it's blue and and has a white Racing stripe :)

  • Comment removed

  • to be honest I only looked at this video cause lady gaga tweeted about driving in the car

  • Just bought one and couldn't love it more. Tons of room, fun to drive, and very well made. Could have bought something 3x more expensive but that would have just got me the same boring thing everyone else drives. Yuck. Why be like everyone else? Beauty's in the eye of the beholder I suppose, but don't knock it 'til you sat in one and checked it out. By the way, I'm 40 and have owned VW, Toyota, Volvo, Ford, and Chevy vehicles and this is by far my favorite.

  • I Love my KIA SOUL :)

  • Ugly Jap

  • what a gay ugly design x(

  • @coolbluelights what a stupid homophobic comment.

  • @qsdfjklmm at least I don't like penis up my ass ;)

  • @coolbluelights what do you mean by "at least"?

  • @qsdfjklmm I don't even remember what I said now or what I was responding to...

  • This is a cool car, but it leans more on the feminine side.. at least how I see it..

    I'd rather shell out another 2k for a Honda Fit.

  • IDK, looks cool to me...

  • Comment removed

  • This car isn't cool, it's pretty amazing

    I drive one

  • you must get weird looks

  • i have this car...great car for me

  • feiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:) nossa q horror

  • grande carro!!!

  • tem varios carros grande tbm mais nao e tão feios como essa :)

  • If I'm gonna go into the funky "box" segment, I'd get a Honda Element. Sure, they cost more but you can't beat the reliability, resale, and design of Honda. The Element just looks better too...its by far the most upscale "box" on the market.

  • I disagree...Honda is not as cool as XB....Honda just look like a funky moving box.

  • if u compare design inner and out of SOUL and XB...XB is less is more while the SOUL is Too much is too much.

  • I think a guy would rather drive a more macho XB than this cutsey SOUL.

  • I wonder how it handles in the snow

  • i love geeky fat guys, they are always the nicest & treat me best

  • I've owned 4 different cars, nissan, ford, bmw, and lexus, and, no lie, my kia soul is by far my favorite! It has great control, unbelievable safety, great conveinence features, stylish, handles beautifully, and is just all around a great car! No problem, and my friend owned 3 kias and has never had problems with any of them. The Kia Soul is by far the way to go!!!!! Recommended!!!!

  • Gay.

  • im thinking about getting this for my self as well just kinda thinking between the eclipse and this kia i already got a kia model but far as me being a guy i do want a sport car but then again i dont mind having a small car that i can move around with easy im use to having a small car after all i only had 1 car which is a kia sephia but still eclipse wouldnt be bad right but hell you cant beat the $ tag like the kia soul have hahaha

  • hahaha soulja boy :)) cute ride, kia soul.... :)

  • im forsure gettin this within the next month!!! :D

  • KIA Saturn Pontiac Chevy gm and a small bit of Toyota. Al the same company. Don't believe me I can prove it. Oh and don't forget the gm diesel pickup the duramax is a Isuzu

  • Psh whatever.

  • Does anyone know if this is a good first car, and why or why not....

  • yes! I just got it for my first car today, I have been saving for ever, i am 17 and i love this thing so much, it gets between 24-30 mpg, and it handles so well, like a car, and not like a box, (like the nissan cube) and it comes with blue tooth thats voice operated and a usb port for an ipod, light up fancy interior, a sun roof, 18 inch rims, and is cheap with a 10 year warranty! :O if your a teenager this car is made for you =)

  • I'm thinking of getting this car too...but I don't know...it looks really nice but when you drive it, does it feel like a big car?

  • no thats the best part!! :D it literally feels like your driving a sedan, and as for big, this thing fits in and out of parking lots with a breeze, compact spaces are like normal size haha and i take it to LA like on melrose and stuff, parallel parking is soooo easy with this car, its just plane awesome! :)

  • @CodyBaird Totally agree. Its a small "SUV" type. You just cant beat it. Has a bunch of room, but still gets about 30MPG! And I have fallen in love with the Speaker Mood Lights. =]

  • It's a Kia... that falls under the "why not"

  • During the clunker days, i've test drove many cars, including Soul. It has a very similar drive to Nissan Cube but both has loud engine noise under 45mph. Mean while the Scion xB drove very similar to Honda Element.  Its all up2 ur personality to "love" the car that fits ur life style.

  • grow up a little

  • Welcome to the internet.

  • wow bro, id like to see u..

  • i have had my soul plus for 5 months and put almost 6k on it due to road trips. i couldnt ask for a smoother ride and it is fun as hell. im planning on getting a custom paint job and a new system in the upcoming weeks equipped with led's throughout the vehicle to match the ones in my speakers

  • I wanna get me this car...

    I dont know shit about cars but is this car a good car to travel with????

    Im a college student and cant afford a Jeep Wrangler which is what i really really want...

  • Most top of the box car gotten

  • Personally I like what Kia is doing with its 2010 lineup. Personally, I like the Forte for its price and how close it really is to a Civic in all aspects and the warranty. But my only issue with ever driving this.... good GOD I can't stand its boxy shape. The exterior styling just isn't what I look for...

  • Yea, they are so under rated.

  • i soooooooooo want a kia soul!!!!!!!

  • Give me the gun and the bullets and I'll obilge you.

  • if your name is pat and you have a black and white cat, it comes in red :P

  • What would it be like in Canadian winters? Plus, I'm 6'1.5 so I hope I'd be comfortable.

  • This kids a fat tool and good god is the interior ugly and cheap as hell...looks so old and cheaply fashioned

  • I'm 5' 10". There's plenty of headroom. I've not experimented with legroom because I always ride high. Believe me, this only looks like a small car. There's sufficient posture adjustment for me, but I'm a smallish guy. The center armrest is non-negotiable. It does seem to lye back in the compartment though.

  • I just bought one. I've put 400 miles on it thus far. It's the only car I own now. The ride is sweet.

    I'm going to trust it to go 200,000 more. It's the Exclaim! trim.

  • Hows the space in the soul?

    Im 6`0ft, 280lbs

  • I'm buying one now already have a deposit on a Dune ! I'm 5'9" 235 plenty of room

  • I am 6 ft. 305 lbs and very comfortable

  • why the fuck say something like that, cuz unless your anerexic, stfu....

  • what's the song playing in the background?

    Thanks in advance for any help. :)

  • Just so ugly, maybe not the ugliest car out there, it's certainly a close runner up. . .

  • This has been out for ages in Europe

  • Ugly like all kias

  • man i really want to know what song that is.

  • I just want to know, who did choose the introducer's clothes. It is nonequivalent mix of colors.

  • "or soulja boy..." lol

  • I want this car so bad...I am totally leasing one next year...

  • i love this car , nice desing

  • jajajaja puros gringos

  • hahaha soulja boy lmao i like him

  • I have a soul its red and gots red and black,white interior

  • how does it fare when you get onto the highway? is it a bit noisy?

  • Comment removed

  • Note that the statement in the video that the 1.6L base model omits AC and antilock brakes appears to be wrong. Kia's site shows AC and ABS/electronic stability control as standard equipment across all models. The Soul really seems to be a great value.

  • "... or soulja boy..." lol

  • i like this car the back end is squared off but it isnt as bad as some others

  • pasha6a you a bitch

  • As a Kia tech, I can tell you that these vehicles ROCK!

  • base soul in fl had ac radio everything standard only thing it doesnt get is the 140hp engine and the sunroof/keyless

  • American businessman are to fault for the loss of the big 3. I don't care what type of business you are, this is survival of the fittest. If you constantly ignore quality and design in comparison with foreign automotive manufacturers, than you deserve to fail. I like GM, Ford, and Chrysler but poor forecasting and planning in the states has hurt them. Also having too many arms of one company severely weakened their financial success in recent years.

  • thank you fianally some one that agrees with me !! you are right! if you dont like the american cars then go live in asia

  • You do know the Chevy MonteCarlo is made in Mexico??? And that GM build lots of cars in China too..right, And most Toyota's and Honda's are made here in the USA?? And that Hyundai builds the Sonata in Montgomery Alabama ??

    I am not slammin American CARS..I like several cars GM makes.. The Malibu, The Cobalt, The Aura, The Caddy CTS. I am just blaming the DUMB ASS BUSINESS PRACTICES. They are BROKE FOR A REASON.. and you can blame the UAW and GM Managment for it.

  • yea i am aware of that and i totaly get what you are saying. i know that gm and other american companies have made mastakes ang got into a hole but we should support them because thats the only way to get out of this mess.

  • When we criticize domestic car makers we tend to forget about the dealers. My experience with domestic dealers and the service they offer makes it hard to buy American.

  • because foreigns are making products today hell of a lot better than we are, and look at what auto manufacturers are going down the toilet, not kia or hyundai

  • Kia Soul got a FULL 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating and was rated the safest B-segment car in the world.

    Scion got a poor safety rating for side impact, and descent for front and rear.

    Kia Soul looks unique and beautiful

    Scion XB looks like a cereal box..

    Kia Soul also won the "interior of the year winners" award from Wards Auto.

    Popular Mechanic (Science, technology megazine) voted Kia Soul better than Nissan Cube and Scion XB.

    Scion XB, Nissan Cube= UGLY

  • I like the exterior looking like a hamster but the interior sucks unless you get the high end trim, soul burner.

  • kia soul isn't a bad looking vehicle. especially compared to the scion and the cube concept that nissan came out with. the only thing with the soul is that the base model lacks an a/c among other things. which is pretty weird, especially for this day and age.

  • I love kelsey mays:)

  • You should do some research.. The Koreans are building cars much better now. Hyundai ranks veru high in reliability now. Check out a recent Consumer Reports They are much better than the domestics. The styling is a matter of persoanl taste.. I like the Soul better than the Cube, and a little better than the xB.

  • all i am saying is i would never buy or support asain cars when the american cars are not doing so great is selling. asain car companies like daewoo, kia, are not and will neve be better than american engineering.

  • What company you support has nothing to do with it.. GM sold the same number of cars as Toyota, difference is Toyota made 4 biillion in proffit and GM lost 4 billion...Domestic auto car failures are due to previous poorly made cars, and UNIONS that make them very inefficient companies. I make my purchase decisions based on the best product for the best price... PERIOD.

  • you base your descion that you like asia so go live there !!!

  • Obviously you are dumb enough to spout off stuff like that when Korea is the largest ship builder, and Hyundai-kia is 5th largest automaker in the world.
