Hi Guys,

Im just curious, any of you guys own one? I'm interested in the following:

1. Its ride quality.
2. FC
3. Features
And others..

Given its i think P875k.. I think its quite a steal.. minus the recent recall..

It is a good city car with it's relatively spacious interior for four or five people. Although the smaller 1.6L engine worried me that it might make it underpowered. I have driven the 2.0L version and it felt good even with a full load.

Cargo space is limited but can be expanded by folding down the rear seats, just like the Jazz and similar hatchback cars.

The SOUL's main appeal is the peppy exterior look which for me, looks like a big Mini Cooper.

Just note that the SOUL is NOT a SUV (because many people tend to compare it to the CRV, RAV4, etc). Think of it as a full sized hatchback car. With that thought, there are other cars with better value of rmoney.

So if you are not as sold with the Kia SOUL, I would suggest checking out other options available to you for a similar budget. (Example: Lancer EX GLX M/T).

Ahh... I thought its in the same range as CRV, RAV4 as its tagged as "CROSSOVER"... its more of the sub-compact size car pala..

How about its Fuel Consumption?? and does this have discounts as well??

just over ten seconds for 0-100 kph. Average performance for a 1.6L car.

Thanks for the reply guys..

Question: Do we have this in the philippines already? Last time I see this its pre-order, same with the sorento crdi (sa marketing materials lang)..

But based on what I have read, hindi pa nagrelease ang columbia ng sorento crdi sa mga nag pre-order...

Sir,

I beg to dis agree with you about the SOUL is not an SUV? With due respect po... I've been driving and owned a SOUL 2.0 it is classified in the LTO and Insurance as SUV. pati sa CAR WASH eh SUV ang bayaran.

It is compact SUV though, but it is an SUV in legal transactions.

Sir, ask ko lang if may alam kayu saan makaka bili nang ANTI THEFT TIRE VALVE CAP AND MAG NUTS LUCK?

Thanks po.
