The 2014 Kia Soul is a very easy car to maintain, and a good choice for any car owner. Accessing the cabin air filter is no problem to do, as there is an easy to remove panel in the rear of the glove box that allows you to remove the filter with reliability. The headlight is easily accessible on this vehicle. You only have to reach behind the bulb housing for access to the bulb. You only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to the engine air filter. This is much easier access than you’ll find on other models.
Some things are tougher to repair on the 2014 Kia Soul. The petcock is difficult to access. You will have to remove a large panel from underneath the vehicle in order to access. This requires the use of tools, and for you to crawl beneath the vehicle in order to complete. Checking the engine coolant fluid level can be difficult, as the fluid reservoir is located in a not overly visible spot in the engine bay. In order to access the fog light, you will have to reach through the wheel well lining. This can be tough, as the lining can grow rigid and tight to the vehicle over time.
