This is the coolest Kia Soul you will ever see! (Probably. I haven't seen others that are cooler, but that doesn't mean they don't exist). Don't let its small size fool you. I have a friend with one of these because it fit him better than a lot of other vehicles he tried out, and he is 6'7". This car is in excellent mechanical shape! The previous owner was a mechanic and kept it in great condition. We do regular maintenance on it, too, so it runs like it doesn't have that many miles on it. The tires have a lot of tread left on them, too.
We've only had it for a year or so hoping our kid would use it as their first car. Well, sadly the manual was not something she was able to pick up (or REALLY didn't want to if we are being frank, teenagers), so we are selling it off. Honestly, if we could keep this and buy another one for our kid, then we would. My wife and I love driving it.
It's quick, responsive, and ,being a manual, tons of fun to drive. Unfortunately it doesn't tow like my truck or have as much space as my wife's Forester.
There are some cosmetic issues, but nothing really bad, just age around some of the plastic parts. There is no rust. The only real damage is in the picture included. At the top of the roof line above the driver's side door there are some dents from when someone tried to break into it. They probably saw it was a manual and gave up. The best theft deterrent.
Kia does have 3 recalls on it, but we have an appointment to have them addressed soon. If you buy it before that, you can just keep our August 7th appointment.
It is front wheel drive, and it has air conditioning, CD player, Bluetooth connection for audio and hands free phone calls, and voice calling.
