KIA souls reliable?

So first of all avoid any Kia/Hyundai product as they are the exact opposite of quality and reliability; they basically manufacturer rolling piles of junk.

This is a very vague question; it's not just based off of mileage. You have to consider age of car, whether it's one of the problematic model years, if it has been maintained and taken care of, etc. As a general idea response I would be okay with a properly maintained 100k Honda Civic if at the right price, but I wouldn't even go near a brand new Kia/Hyundai.

It'll help if you state what kind of car you are looking for, how much you plan on driving it, and your budget.

All of them have the iVT (CVT) transmission or a GDi engine, so it's like choosing between pestilence and plague...

The GDi engines burn oil, sometimes in absolutely massive quantities,

and the iVT (CVT) transmissions make Nissan look like engineering geniuses in contrast.

Kia refuses to mate a good engine to a good transmission on the Soul in N.A, since the model launched in '08.

Personally, I do not recommend buying cars with over 100k miles 

But it mostly depends on the price, on the exact model, and on the cars condition.

Go by actual condition, not mileage (preferably) -

Not at all fam. Their overrated GDI engines are <profanity removed> and I'd advise you never get one unless if you wanna own it for a little while and sell it when it's up to 20 to 30 thousand miles.

The Honda Civic is obviously more reliable than the Kia NoSoul, period! Unless if it has more than 250K miles on the vehicle, I think you'll be fine getting a Civic as long as you maintain it on when it supposed to be. 


watch your language please.


My bad.
