Return of the Soul (EV)
Discussion
After four years of service the company I work for are changing our Kia Soul EVs - I've enjoyed them overall, it's like driving a little go kart,
Noticeable issues - The build quality over time wasn't great, not helped by the abuse issued by a heavy handed security team no doubt!
I've never experienced a car that has suffered from so many punctures, can't see why as they're only really used around town.
Headlamp bulbs, again bulbs blowing every six months from new - they're fleet managed and our local Kwik Fit won't touch them if they're on the passenger side as you have to drop the bumper to get the lamp unit out. This means it has to go to the main dealer every time a bulb goes. Madness.
Electric handbrake buttons? Yep had two of those. Generally the dealership experience hasn't been great, which is a shame as I was looking at buying KIA for a personal purchase, I don't think I would based on this.
We've been informed the new vehicles have been ordered. Vauxhall Mokka E.
Or the Mockery as they've already been christened. It'll be 2023 before we see them, so the Kia's here for a little while.
