What Owners Say
"The paint and clear coat first failed on the black trim several years ago. The silver paint is failing, especially by back tailgate and lights. I have had my car detailed semi-annually since I purchased it. Without the detailing,the Souls appearance would be much worse. The headlight lenses covers gave been an issue for several years. I have been using a polishing compound monthly for several years, but I believe my night headlights are less effective due to the scratches."
Anonymous, HI (2012 Kia Soul Plus 1.6-L 4 Cyl)"Went through a car wash twice with roller brushes. Some time later saw that the area on the top of car (roof) where it meets the top of windshield was rusted. The brushes had peeled away paint and allowed for rusting."
