Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over the odds, and they recently slashed $2000 off the price and still does not sell.

In USA it sells for the same coin as a KIA Rio, what it should for over here, still to basic and not enough kit for the high price charged

MORE than a legend FIAT 500, Kia your on drugs guys……

The reason why sales are good for SOUL is because KIA spent a crap load of money in commercials and ads. SCION doesn’t even go that route and rely on word of mouth and SCION already big reputation. In a world of name branding, KIA doesn’t top the cake even by SCION standard.

First time poster – long time reader. Have enjoyed this site because of the wide range of vehicles reviewed.

My young family is in the mode of looking for a car and actually I like the look of the soul and have had a look inside it at a showroom. It has a nice amount of space both in the front and the back. (The boot is a little smaller than I expected though).

My only issue is that it doesn’t have cruise control – otherwise it would have been a serious choice. Will they be bringing out a model with cruise sometime?

I like the direction that Kia is taking style and design wise, and if that is matched with engineering (which I am no expert in) then I really don’t see why it can’t be a contender in the current market.

btw – anyone know when the Kia No.3 might appear in Australia?

Why would people project so much hate for this car. What has it done to you. Way too many kids posting here…….People who visit this website shouldn’t use what is written in the comment box to base their decisions on….Since that will be like asking a trailer thrash whore of a mom about how to raise a daughter properly…

The comment box is more about good fun more than anything else.

Just think, if it wasn’t for CA bring this car to our attention, I be left pondering what was that Soul advert all about.

Thanks CA
