Should I tune my Kia Soul !?

I am on the fence about whether tuning a Kia Soul ! is the best option. I could just buy another car with more horsepower. Should I tune my Kia Soul?

This is a great question—tuning a
Kia Soul !
may not be worth it if you are focused primarily on horsepower. A professional Stage 1 dyno tune, which will analyze and modify your car’s stock computer settings, typically costs from $400-$800. And it may not result in the hp increases you’re looking for.
If you’re a big Kia fan who just loves the Soul’s body style, doing a tune and tweaking your exhaust system might be worth the money. After all, the Soul is distinctive when it comes to its look.
On the other hand, if you’re not totally in love with the Soul’s exterior design, consider a comparable compact SUV like a
Jeep Renegade
, which will give you more hp right off the bat.
Either way, know that tuning your car will likely void its warranty, so be sure to check the fine print if your vehicle is still covered under a warranty!
Before you bring your Soul to a mechanic for tuning, you’ll want to do some preliminary research. Then, you’ll want to consult with a professional tuner/mechanic to determine whether these goals are realistic.
Comparing

rates also requires time and research. All you want is a quick quote, but each insurance company requires you to fill out lengthy forms first—and some even ask for your phone number so an agent can call!
