Hey all,
I have come to a decision regarding my car; she's killin' me at the pump and with my recent issues (engine blew; replaced under warranty) and maintenace costs etc I gotta get out while the gettin' is good.

I know I will be teased mercilessly for this but I'm buying two Kia Souls. One for me and one for my wife... Cool look (no power, but peppy) and better milage lower fill up cost at the pump.

I will post pics once I pick up the new ride... My heart is broken but I had to pick what was best for da family at the end of the day.

This is a great club and a great bunch of folks; hope you don't mind if I swing by a M&G with my "ricer" this summer... LoL.

you gotta do what you gotta do jeff. the souls are nice little cars. way better than the comparable nissans imo. my bro-in-law has a cube. oy. i had to ride in it once. hopefully never again.

Thanx for the comments; I'm sure there'll be more when I show up in my Korian bad-boy. LoL

Understandable. The only thing I would do different, though, would be to get 2 somewhat different vehicles. Whenever I've had 2 different cars, they've generally been different enough to handle different things. For example, an SUV and a small sedan. Or a car and a p/u truck.

Good luck with 'em! :)

As others have stated Jeff. You gotta do what you gotta do! Family first, hobbys second!

I just paid $109 yesterday to fill the RAM and almost at half a tank after driving a bit in burlington then to the GTA LX GTG then to Waterdown. :\ If it wasent a work truck I would sell it.

bro my buddy bought this sporty little kia rio..... what a great little car. a bit small for my liking but it get close to 700k per tank of gas. it is just sick on fuel mileage.
it is a 2011 model and it has everything like fogs and spoiler and i can't remember but i think it even has a sunroof all for under $20k brand new off the lot.
he traded in an 05 buick on it and they gave him almost $9k for a trade in value so he ended up financing around $10k over five years which is not a bad bi-weekly payment.
i was checking this thing out and really it isn't a bad little car.
now the soul on the other hand....... man that thing is U-G-L-Y......
lmao, sorry i know you are getting one but they look like someone shaved a dogs ass and made it walk backwards.
you wouldn't catch me in that if you paid me to drive it! and someone mentioned the cube..... that one's even worse!
for 2012, believe it or not Hyundai has a car coming out that will blow you all away. i've seen it and it almost looks like a high end BMW. this thing is going to sell like hot cakes. can't remember the name but i believe it begins with a "C" so if someone knows the name post it up.
the Koreans i think you will see a lot more in the bigger markets soon enough because their cars are getting incredible fuel mileage.
good luck with your souls but as someone else mentioned if you want a car and a soul get the rio the thing is a great little puddle jumper.
