    What car did you replace with the Soul?

    Just curious to find out what car/truck/suv did your New Soul replace?

    I've had my Soul since April 22, 2010.
    I previously had an Early Edition, Limited Edition 2001 PT Cruiser (10th PT Cruiser in all of Canada). I did not trade my Cruiser for the Soul.
    On April 14th, I was cut off by a car and it redirected me in the side of a Transport truck. Cruiser was totaled.
    I had been looking at the soul for a while and told myself that it would be my next car whenever my Cruiser was run to the ground and dead. Well it happened a lot sooner than I had anticipated.

    So, what car did your Soul replace?

    I replaced a 2003 Black convertible VW Beetle...
    It was getting old and the top was starting to wear ..and the cost to get VW that is out of warranty fixed is ridiculous...

    I sold my 99 VW Jetta. Loved that little car and hated to see it go. It was dependable and economic, just aging and I wanted to get something out of it.
    It also helped to get an addtional $1000 from the competitors rebate program Kia was offering.

    I traded in a Nissan Micra 5 door Sport +. The Soul gives me far more street cred.

    Traded a 2005 Infiniti FX35. Loved the power it had (same engine as the 350z), but didn't love the gas mileage.

    A 2007 Mazda 6 Touring.

    There's more room in the back seat in the soul and the mileage is the same. Having way more fun in the Soul.

    Traded in a Ford ZX2 that was in great shape, loaded, including sunroof, and leather seats. The downside is it had 99,000 miles on it and was going to need a timing belt, transmission fluid change, and then eventually tires, brakes, etc. I liked the ZX2, but it was going to start costing a lot to keep it up. I wanted something with a big warranty and no miles on it. I only drive 5000-8000 miles a year. Another incentive was the ZX2 qualified for the $1000 competitors bonus.

    I bought it in July of 2008, when I needed a car right away. My 1984 Toyota Corolla SR5 was using more brake fluid than gas, and all the lines needed replacement. the SR5s automatic transmission hadn't shifted automatically in the last two years that I owned it. If you left it in drive it started out in third gear.

    I had thought a good thread would be what cars have you owned, that may have been interesting. I had 1955 Chevy in '1972, I also owned a 1969 Austin America, a 1969 Opel GT, a 1971 Pontiac Grand Prix, a 1986 Isuzu Impulse Turbo [bought new], and a number of others, including Honda, and Toyotas.

    2001 VW Passat Wagon, 175k miles and a whopping average of 23MPG (premium MPG that is). Interestingly enough the seating area is actually larger in the Soul, storage area not so much.
