New Car Ideas
Anyone in the market for a new car? It doesn't come out until April, but the new Kia Soul caught my eye. Any thoughts/advice?

Well I have a Korean friend that says never buy Korean but Kia seems to have a good track record. Although for new cars, you never know the kinks are worked out until the year following. My car was a brand new model of a car and I do wish I had waited until they worked some of the bugs out but it hasn't had too many issues and all were covered by warranty.
My new love though is the Honda Fit. |

Just googled the Honda Fit - it looks kind of similar to the Soul, only a little pricier (Soul runs under 14K). Both get great gas mileage, which is def. a plus! |
I have heard that Kia's aren't good on resale values. You may want to look into that. It looks cute though! :) I have noticed in my area gas prices are creeping up. We were once at $1.39 a gallon and we are probably at $1.70 now or so. This may still be a good fit. I think the Honda Fit is cute too.

Yeah prices are creeping up here, too. I definitely like that the Soul gets good gas mileage. Thanks for the feedback!

I have a Toyota Corolla that I absolutely hate. I dont have a reason, it just doesnt feel right to drive. I plan on trading it in soon. I think I want a Dodge Charger. That car is HOT! :)

I just bought a used Hyundai, and I love it. It gets really good gas mileage. And I saw a commercial yesterday that they're now signing a contract with you, saying if you lose your income within a year of buying the car and you need to bring it back, it won't affect your credit. That alone is enough for me to stick with Hyundai, even though I'm from Michigan and should be supporting American. :p

I have a Scion xD (made by Toyota) that I bought about a year ago.
It's a little economy car and gets great gas mileage (32-34mpg in the city). I was going to buy a used Toyota Matrix, but the xD was the same price and brand NEW!! It was about $15K. It is small. I have 9 and 11 yr old kids and they fit fine in the backseat though. I just can't carry a cooler in the back like I used to take to the store, but I bought an insulated bag that works fine. Good luck :) |
aww it's cute!
i really really really want a Fit. i test-drove one last spring and fell in love with it. *sigh* but i'm a grad student with barely enough income to buy groceries. also, i like how the Scion xD has a model name that looks like a little angry face. xD! |

Thanks for sharing! |
I've been looking at cars recently and I really like the Suzuki SX4 crossover. It's really cute and is an AWD and priced well.
|
I'm more of a Jeep girl myself but if I didn't have 3 kids I might would test drive the Soul at least :) I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot & it rocks!!
