I had some on a Kia Soul. They were fine. Lasted 45,000 miles. If I was on a tight budget I would look at them.
I bought a 2023 kia soul specifically for uber and just hit 100000 miles. Only problems ive had are nails in my tires and recently changed my rear brake pads.
My 2017 Kia Soul has 226,500 miles on the body and I have had none of these problems except my alternator died a few months ago but it had 220,000 miles on it.
I've got a 19 Soul exclaim with the 1.6 turbo and 7 speed DCT transmission. Drives great now but It only has 43k miles on it so I do worry about down the line since I'm out of warranty at this point for any possible drivetrain issues.
If you reserve and prepay online at Speedmate (chain with multiple locations) it can be pretty cheap.
I received a quote for four Nexen N’PRIZ GX tires. I’m curious to know if they’re good tires. I’ve been driving around 10,000 km per year in my car. I’m looking for a safe and reliable tire. Does anyone have any experience with Nexen tires?
the cars are decent, the customer service at the dealers, hit or miss.
the Vancouver (Coquitlam) dealership i bought my Kia from knew jack squat about my car - I basically just needed them to sell me a car, that I knew more about at the time of sale than they did.
went to a different one, and got a much better experience, they were willing to sit down and talk to you about what the problems were, what options were, etc. So in short, the early EVs (like the one I drive) were kinda iffy depending on your experience, could be great could be terrible, but the classic ioniq is one I would hands down trade in for. The extra cobalt inside the cells means the degradation happens less, it doesn't overheat as quickly, charges reasonably fast, and more efficient than tesla :p
Second , the KIA Soul with the check engine light going on snd off due to faulty knock sensors. Software Updates made and warranty extended to 150k and shortly after same issue again.
Replaced original manifold cat last December with OE Kia--that cost about $2200 doing it myself. After 5K miles I was getting a pending P0420. Endoscope showed cat inlet center section bubbling...looking like melting had started.
I have a Kia Soul that goes through the OEM batteries every two-three years.
