Is the 2011 Kia Soul a good car?
Has a slight nervous feeling in wind but nothing scary. This little car has plenty of zip when needed and kinda makes you want to drive easier and challenge yourself to get the most MPG when you have ECO mode on. Watching the estimated MPG figure climb is such a relief when these gas prices are so high.
What’s the average speed of a Kia Soul?
At our test track, a Soul X-Line with the CVT needed 8.0 seconds to reach 60 mph, but it doesn’t feel underpowered in normal driving. In fact, the base engine feels peppy around town and the CVT willingly selects lower gear ratios for extra passing power.
Which is better Kia Soul petrol or diesel?
The petrol option is a little brisker from standstill to 62mph with a 10.4s time compared to the diesel’s 10.7s but the diesel will feel stronger in real world driving conditions thanks to its superior torque. It also has the higher top speed, topping out at 112 while the petrol hits the wall at 110mph.
Are there any changes to the Kia Soul?
For 2021, Kia made only a few changes to the Soul lineup. Every model now comes with Rear Occupant Alert, which notifies the driver via various methods (such as beeping and sending a message to his/her smartphone) that someone is in the back seat. The mid-level X-Line and GT-Line receive new shock valves that reportedly improve their ride.

Are there any problems with the Kia Soul?
It did have small problems though. I didn’t like the steering that much. It felt stiff and I’m not a fan of stiff steering. Also the accelerator wasn’t very smooth. These tine problems aside I never had any other issues with this car. It was a great car for the money. I put a total of 83000 miles on mine and only did regular maintenance on it.
What kind of audio system does Kia Soul have?
The 2011 Kia Soul base model might be hampered with small steel wheels and the lack of remote keyless entry, but Kia saw fit to make sure every single Soul has a full-featured AM/FM/CD/MP3/Sat/Aux/USB audio system.
How tall is the back of a Kia Soul?
I’m 6′, 230#, it is super easy to get in and out of and plenty of head & leg room both front and back. Had to convert my .m4p files to .mp3 files to play in the usb port, but it works flawlessly.
