Consumer Review Video - 2012 Kia Soul ! 2.0L 4 Cyl.

Car Displayed: 2012 Kia Soul ! 2.0L 4 Cyl.

The 2012 Kia Soul is a difficult vehicle to maintain. The headlights will require a tight reach or an entire housing removal to access their bulb assemblies, which won’t allow for reliable changes. Replacing the cabin air filter will also be troublesome as the entire glove box housing needs to be removed in order to reach it. Removing the battery bracket will be a problem given the location deep in the engine bay and the precarious maneuvering you’ll need to make to get it around the onboard computer.

However, the 2012 Kia Soul has its upsides. The tail lights are all located in a single housing with easily accessible fasteners, allowing for reliable bulb changes. Monitoring the brake fluid isn’t a problem given the open access to the reservoir. The engine air filter is easy to change as no tools are needed to disengage the bulb housing for access.
