the hamster commercial is really funny. in that commercial when u look at the car it reminds me of a mini cooper/xb styling

 

i really like it... im liking what kia is doing with the Soul, but they say they already have like 31 Accessories for that car already, does any1 know what they are... like for instense are they engine modifications or more of comestic
apparel

 

Yeah they did a good job on the Soul, I hope they follow this type of original design philosophy for future cars.

Man, the new Forte looks IDENTICAL to a Civic!!!

 

I kind of like the Soul. I'm not a big fan of Kia as well, but I think that you get a lot for your money with this vehicle. You can't beat the warranty either. I'm going to go take a look at it in the future. My wife's Xterra will be 10 years old this November, and we'll need a replacement in the next few years. I'm trying to talk her into a new Fit, but she likes the ride height of an SUV. Maybe the Soul will meet her ride height requirement and my mpg and cost requirement.

 

I like the Soul a lot. I've sat in a couple of them, but haven't driven one. I'd be willing to bet the one thing that I wouldn't like about it is the manual shifter feel. I really believe that Hyundai and Kia are on the up and up; they're building higher quality cars; better driving dynamics; etc. However, they still can't seem to make a manual transmission that doesn't feel like moving a broomstick through a barrel of superballs. Then again, a short shifter usually fixes that problem.

 

i decided to win one from xbox live, and drive it straight to the dealer and trade it in for the fit.

 

I drove a Soul Sport a couple weeks ago, and honestly, I'd be looking at that in the driveway instead of a Fit right now if the dealer hadn't pissed me off and insulted me on trade in value. It's a fun vehicle, lots of space, and tons of extras that would be aftermarket addons (both performance and cosmetic) on any other car (17's, sway bars, light up speakers, etc.).

I really think it's a winner.
