History
I just purchased this 2012 KIA Soul on March 30th, 2012. This is the first vehicle I've purchased new since 1986, and it's my second KIA. I traded in my 2004 KIA Sorento That I'd owned since 2005, with 196,000 miles on it for this vehicle. It feels wonderful to have another KIA (the Sorento was a great vehicle) that runs so smoothly and is reliable. I look forward the the next five years of modifying and enjoying this vehicle.

Modifications
Drivetrain
April 17, 2012 - No special mods or changes. All stock.
Interior
April 17, 2012 - No special mods or changes. All stock. Added the heavy duty rubber floor mats to accommodate my daily driving and unpredictable Bay Area weather. Window tinting is happening within the next month, and a few other accessories like the Cargo Area floor, cover, and compartment box to follow. I don't carry much other than a few golf clubs usually. I was a bit dissapointed that there was no spare tire, only a can of sealant.
Exterior
April 17, 2012 - No special mods or changes. All stock. For now. I have the intention of adding a full face bra, light pinstriping/Starsky-Hutch swoop at the rear, roof rack, spoiler wing, rear bumper applique, and some sort of paint scheme on the lower area. More to follow...
Audio
April 17, 2012 - No special mods or changes. All stock. I like the ability to just plug in my Ipod and enjoy my own collection of 70's, 80's, and 90's music.
Wheel and Tire
Shopping for new wheels and tires right now. The stock 15" Steel Wheels will take their place in the garage as emergency backup, and the new propulsion pods to be installed (next week hopefully, with the generous help of the IRS.) will be 18"x7.5" polished silver, wrapped tight with 225/45-18 rubber with a wicked tread.
The replacement of the wheels will make a huge difference in the handling and enjoyment of this vehicle.
Pics to come soon.
