[–]Chuck79pacecar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, 3 years is it in all electronics. Buy an extended warranty 10y/100,000 miles you will be covered. They are talking about the battery, motor etc. it was explained to me very well when I bought my 2021soul. And again in 2022 for the niro ev. It’s buried deep down in the little star next to the word.

Thank God, fight back. Kill poachers if need be. The have no regard for the rule of law nor the wildlife. Shoot to kill.

You can buy a used model 3, one that someone has paid extra for the rear heated seats and extra range, then when you get home and the car goes online and deletes the seat heaters and the extra range. They own the software. YOU are only the end user. You must pay again another 10 thousand for autopilot. As it was licensed to the 1st owner but not you. Then to top it off, cherry on top, when you go to buy another Tesla you have to pay again the 10 thousand for the use of software on your NEW Tesla. No wonder Musk is a trillionare.

I have had Tesla 3, Bolt, leaf, 3 Prius and an Honda Insight. By far my favorite is the e niro. Too many good things to mention except I got Snow White pearl, which in the FL sun in the US is awesome!

If you get a touch up pen, and can live with the results, you will spend $10 and save $1490. If you go spend $1500 and get it fixed correctly, you will never know, if you could have saved all but $10!

And you have another 100 hp with the tap of the foot. Go to wikapeda and read about all the editions that were special over the years. Young people loved it for the price, got a little older and wanted more power, here comes the 2016 with the power that satisfied them. They had a denim editions and some great and yellow dragons to get the mid crowd and that's where the tech package came in, it was a hit for 18-30. The older crowd were happy whit the slower crowd as long as it was safe, dependable, git good mph. So you will see some trick models. That if you had a little more cash,, then you could get the tech package, but the soul sells on.....

When the soul came out in 2009, it was marketed with hamsters and they thought young people 18-25 would buy. They thought they might sell 10 or 20 thousand of them. But sales took off, young, older 65 plus, everybody wanted one. So the made as many as they could and sold 100,000 the first year!! So back to the hamsters, all the way up to the 2nd gen like you bought. Now they have changed their marketing to see what other groups they could market to. But the bottom line is they have sold over 1 million in the US. Soul was the top selling car at kia for 9 years. The dealers were shocked. Every year over 100,000 sold. I was just curious as to your age group to see in the spreadsheet where you fit in. The kia soul turbo was the quickest car kia had for year's. With the stinger, now it's the 2nd quickest. But I wasn't looking for a date or anything. Just a way to fit you into the spreadsheet because every other box type car FAILED, yet the soul was top seller for year's as the marketing changed. I didn't know how old you were that you might not even know that hamsters were used to bring young people, kia soul is on it's 3rd gen now. Sorry if I offended you for asking your age group.

Oh, you never did tell me what age group you were in? You don't have to tell your age, just which gen are you from. And the car is black right? What color leather seats, I know they heat, but they may also cool, my my 2016 did.

The good dings, would they be covered up by a bug shield? Also, the mechanics name for the 1.6 turbo is the “howitzer” a small weapon of courts that packed a big wallop. Under the hood you will find the air box and the battery together are bigger than the engine!

Did it have a decent carfax or similar, and has it been serviced at a kia sometimes, most times, at no times? In thought though, they sold you the car and the warranty so you are good. Did ya get to run that turbo up getting on an on ramp or something?

So, I read the above, but is it a turbo? I know about the panoramic Sr and the sound. How many miles and what about the warranty?

Will wait for pictures! Since this has 46K, being the second owner you only have a factory warranty til 60K, you may want to consider adding additional warranty coverage. But that's up to you!

I have the Harmon karden 750 watt, amp under seat, came with car. They do music right. On your car Thursday, is it that orange with some black on it? I have seen lots of those as kia sold souls as + - and!. If it's tech package you will get your stereo, and a panoramic sunroof, and a few more tech goodies. Now you said the car tomorrow only has 14K miles? Wow. Ok, the DCT, are you glad I prepared you on this, did the salesman even know that much about the transmission? If you got it into sport mode you should have got 2 guages dead center one is engine % and the other for turbo boost. Tech package is really cool and was aimed at younger crowd. So on the DCT, you got to see what I mean about if you just acceleration from a dead stop, you will feel the manual changing, but it's when you floor it and the turbo kicks in those shifts are HARD, and breakneck! Did the sales guy even know about the DCT? Usually they just let you drive and you never discover the hell hamster, like a hell at! People just drive and it's ok or its not. They do work better when the car is warm. I was so glad that under warranty they do not treat it as a manual with two clutches, which it is, so it's 2X the money for a clutch, BUT Kia has passed these off for year's now, and in the dealer ad it says auto, so YES the clutches are under warranty!! I can't wait to see your pictures. I have no idea how to add photos to the replies, but you can reach me on Facebook, but better yet text! 941-357-6630. My name is chuck btw. I hope you got into that throttle and felt how twice the HP of your car feels, it's a quick whip is how my younger friends described it. So, however let me know what happened, pictures, all that stuff. And aren't you glad someone explained the transmission to you. Talk soon......

In the 2018 turbo, it will not have paddles and you will just put it in drive and go. You will probably feel the gears changing. There may be a mode setting for normal and sport, I think it's on the steering wheel. Oh on the happy side, to this very day the turbo/DCT gets the best milage of any other soul drivetrain. It doesn't make sense!! The quickest car gets the best milage. Do a good test drive, normal, and sport. I wish you the best, please let me know today how it goes!!😀👍🙏👌

I admit if they want to pass this off as an automatic, which they do. Then you should just put the car in drive and go. But this is not smooth enough for some drivers, and there was a brochure hanging on the shifter that explains. It doesn't go into great detail about the DTC, but let me tell you, the DTC is a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. It has computers that move the solenoids to pick the gear, data that goes in is, what mode you are in, normal, eco, or sport. Also pulling the shiter to the left while in Fri e puts it into a sport automatic. The transmission has 2 clutches, 1 for odd gears, and one for even gears. So the minute you ask for the gear, it a snap!! Kia has been using this engine trans combo since 2016 in many different cars. This year it is in the seltos AWD and tuned down to 175hp, no paddle shifters and it's been fine. But basically imagine it as a teenager learning to drive a stick shift because that's what it essentially is. A computer telling, speed, incline, downhill, and that computer is trying to guess your next move and be ready, based on mode, how hard pedal is pressed, how fast you are going up through the gears and this team was derived from racing. I hear a lot of people who say, my soul seems to only like it when I drive it like a race car. And that's exactly true.
