Thinking about a 2019 Soul… is it worth it?

Hey everyone, I need some advice. There’s a 2019 Soul for sale at a dealership nearby. It’s got 73k miles, and they’re asking $9k for it. Is there anything good or bad about that year I should know? My sister has a 2012 Soul she’s been driving for years without any problems.

Also, are break-ins and theft still an issue with these? GEICO quoted me $103 for insurance, which seems reasonable. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

If it has the 1.6L engine, you should be good. The 2.0L engines can be a bit of a risk.

I’ve had a 2019 Soul since early 2020 and haven’t had a single issue with it, but that’s just my experience. $9k does feel a little high, but car prices are all over the place these days. Still, I really like mine.

Check to make sure it’s not one of the models with the problematic engine.

I’d steer clear. These cars have known engine problems, and some dealerships will sell them knowing they’re burning oil. It’s frustrating.

We bought a 2019 Soul Exclaim for my daughter a few months ago, and it’s been awesome so far. It’s a fun car to drive!
