Kia Soul [MERGED THREADS]

[valskie01]

saw one already. ganda talaga porma nitong kia soul. especially the red color. though im not impress regarding its interior.

[tidus1203]

wala pa talaga akong nakita kahit isa. :sad:
ano comment mo sir tidus sa nakita mong kia soul? maganda ba, pangit, maliit?

Well I was riding my SF so I think it looked small but certainly very boxy in a cute way not Volvo like way!

[LeOxe]

meron ngang nag comment na di daw worth 1.32M yung interior tsaka yung thump sound ng door. dapat kasi nasa 900k lang ang price niya. sana yung 1.6 nalang dinala dito para at least marami ang makakabili.

onga naman.
sana ay magkaroon ng Big Test review ang Top Gear comparing the Kia Soul and the Great Wall Cool Bear. silang dalawa lang kasi ang available dito sa atin with the same boxy style/design. what's interesting is that the GW Cool Bear's price is 53% cheaper than that of the Kia Soul EX.

[MadoX]

1.6 CRDi would have been great. It would have been a good alternative car in the market. I thought it was CRDi coz when I saw their ad in the news paper the soul red line was 4500 rpm. Kinda surprised it's a 2.0 gas.

Ang katapat ng Kia Soul LX ay yung Great Wall Cool Bear..Parehas silang ok!!May bumili na yata ng Soul LX at EX sa Kia Greenhills..Mayaman yan for sure. Its much better than the Dodge Caliber!

Dapat talaga dahilin ang 1.6 liter variant rito,na-drive ko kahapon yung EX A/T(short drive nga lang kasi bago yung unit na ibebenta,pinasubok saakin tutal nakabili na kami noon ng Kia Carnival sa dealer nayan) at ok sya pero di maganda ang A/T nya..Nilagyan pa ng sunroof which is kinda odd...


Yung Forte Sedan ay sa October pa at ka presyo ng Elantra at i30 while the Koup is around 1.150M-1.2M Pesos!

[alwayz_yummy]

maganda tunog ng 7.1 sound system nya...pwede na for me.....kaya lang modular lang ang stereo..mahal palitan!

18" tires, sunroof, esp.....kaya siguro nagmahal....pero using the 2.0 cvvt ng local 1st version ng carens... matakaw sa gas!

better option pa ang carens ex crdi... 1.27M, bigger, and seats 7 pa..

[eggman]

Tama ka sobrang ganda ng sound system ng EX A/T!! ASTIG!!

Nilagyan pa nila ng Traction Control ang EX variant na ok rin na addition.But the sunroof is kinda odd pero ok narin.

Matakaw sa gas at di maganda ang match ng A/T(kapos sa power na ewan) yung 2 liter,ok yung power sa LX M/T which I also tried...

Tama ka mas ok na ang choice ang Carens pero iba talaga ang target market ng Kia Soul here sa Pinas..

Kung ako sa Suzuki at Nissan eh ilabas nila rito ang Livina X-Gear at SX4 5 door hatch..

[roberto_minosa]

Tama, yung SX4 wagon hindi weird yung itsura kumpara sa sedan.

Napansin ko sa Top Gear calendar nitong September nasa picture eh Toyota Urban Cruiser. Mukha din syang bB/xB pero mataas ang ground clearance tsaka merong 1.4L diesel tsaka optional AWD.



Kung ipasok ito dito na kapresyo lang ang Corolla, papanaw ang Soul.

[actor21]

pang Europe lang pala itong Urban Cruiser, sayang ang ganda pa naman 1.5engine Diesel pa AT pa

[don2x]

ganda ng soul, kita namin sa virra mall. tulo laway talaga ako. interior and exterior very sporty.

[Gerbo]

1.6 CRDi would have been great. It would have been a good alternative car in the market. I thought it was CRDi coz when I saw their ad in the news paper the soul red line was 4500 rpm. Kinda surprised it's a 2.0 gas.

A 1.6L CRDI powerplant would have been ideal at the sub-1M tag.

But the 1.2M price for a gas is ridiculous. Even the lower priced diesel Hyundai i30 could not move stocks.

Niche buyers na naman.

Yan din ang Scion xD,hay malabo yan rito,kung yung ngang Toyota Rush na gawang Indonesia di nila nailabas rito eh(yung SUV na based sa Daihatsu Terios) eh eto pa kaya lalo na't gawang Japan tong Urban Cruiser/Scion xD..

I think kung lalabas rito ang Kia Soul EX 1.6 CRDI eh nasa 1.2M Pesos yan parin pero kung aalisin ang sunroof eh magiging 1.150M Pesos yan.. Niche talaga ang car na to tulad ng Dodge Caliber..

[projector]

ang ganda nakakita ako kanina kaso mahal kung 1.2 m

sa tingin ko ang tamang presyo nito dapat 700 thou kapresyo ng mga sedan

Di puwede unless they sell here a bare version of the 1.6 liter variant at saka 700K narin ang Rio ha..

One has to wonder whether the people behind CAC are aware of their reputation as overpricing nitwits. I mean, any person with common sense would do something about this, like an ad campaign or adding more value-for-money for their cars, but all I can see so far is them even encouraging the stereotype with more of their facepalm-inducing actions.

Niche market. Uh-huh, sure. Do they even want to compete? They could've have had a potential gold mine in the Soul, considering that I know that a lot of people would've preferred a subcompact SUV/CUV for the right money as opposed to a subcompact hatchback/sedan. Right now the only choice for these people is the Suzuki Jimny and it's not exactly the most modern and comfortable car out there.

"Presyong hindi pang-benta."

Thinking inside the box.

[Burai]

sorry sorry, mali pala sukat ko sa size niya, my bad
anyway
if only our voices here could be heard ng mga higher staff ng mga car companies like kia. kumbaga parang open forum style na usapan

*robert_minamosa
natatawa ako d2 "Kung ipasok ito dito na kapresyo lang ang Corolla, papanaw ang Soul." ahahaha parang R.I.P.. kaluluwa kasi na naliligaw :xd:

*LeOxe
agree. battle it out with the cool bear at half the price pa.
kaso pwede rin ipanglaban suzuki wagon type R dito eh, luma nga lang
ang dami kasi nun sa cebu, parang katulad ng mga mini pick ups nila, masyadong rampant at napakamura

[roberto_minosa]

Wagon R FTW! Pero wala yatang LHD na Wagon R...maganda sanang alternative sa Jazz yun. Tipong city car na hindi maarte...

Hehehe, tama pala, "tormented Soul".

Niche masyado ang target market ng Kia Soul mapa LX or EX variant.
