Recalls and complaints

Owners filed 12 complaints with NHTSA, most often about exterior lighting, unknown or other and forward collision avoidance; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.

What the figures tell you

The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 7.9 L/100 km rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $36.75 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Soul

As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. At 680 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

When the Soul makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Try before you buy

Rent the Soul first, and buy only if it fits your life. A test week in the Soul tells you more than any review. Try the Soul on your commute, then decide.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
