Great

Swapped a nearly new C$ Cactus Puretech yadda, yadda with the ETG "gearbox" for this when it tried to kill a pedestrian (see my review)

I contrast to that lethal device the Soul is lovely.

Still has the wonderful Kia warranty in place and came with another year from the dealer that will add on the end. Here's a shout out to John and Premier Kia Dukenfield who took the C$ and gave me extra back.

Anyway back to the car - Quiet and smooth diesel with "enough" power and plenty of torque driving through a butter smooth 6-speed conventional auto. Everything I need and cool looking too.

Mine is "Moss Geen" which is a sort of metallic army green that I love. Has electric everything which of course all works flawlessly.

Not a sportscar by any means but comfortable, smooth and overall pleasant to drive.

Recommended.
