a 2018 titanium grey Soul + the thing about a Kia Soul is once you see one, you can't unsee it. These cars are everywhere. I saw so many of them on the road today. I stopped at two different stores and both times, there was 3 of them in the parking lot.
After 200+ miles of driving mine in various road and weather conditions over the past two days, I love that this car is not what it's trying to be.
It wants to look like a fancy range rovers
But it's not and that saved me 10's of thousands of dollars.
The shift o matic and sport mode combined with the better than what I expected handling made the narrow curvy road to the beach feel like a LeMans track but it's not. At my age, I don't need the trouble of having to mess around with a standard shift when all I want to do is go get an iced coffee.
They marketed the Soul to millennials which I'm not. 😂
The car is unique from the norm but at the same time isn't flashy or obscene
I am impressed though, Especially never owning a 4 cylinder before, (My last car was a 3.8L) the Soul is a lot of fun to drive. And with 35 miles to go, I filled up for only $28.50. the 3.8, I usually put between 12 and 14 gallons to fill it at around $40. I'm going to be saving money over past expenses.
(I should gamble that extra $10 on some dogecoin)
What's up with UVo? I made an account online, I downloaded the app. I don't know how but I got to a screen that asked me for a 4 digit password. I saw that somewhere buried in text. But I wasn't able to do do anything past that point.
I've since have reset the whole unit and have been back to it since. Pandora went rogue, had took control of all my watch, Bluetooth, and all but disabled Spotify. I was about to rip out the whole unit and replace it with a android. I finally got Spotify and Android Auto to function properly by uninstalling Pandora from my phone. And am pleased with the infotainment center so far.
No CD player though? Interesting [insert ok Boomer gif]
I just have to figure out how to manage the tight space in the back while traveling with guests and family. Beach chairs, bags and coolers, you gotta be strategic.
I'm already building a wishlist in my head of possible upgrades and customizations. I have a 7 day no questions asked return policy but I may not even bring it to a mechanic, I love it that much. What if he tells me something is wrong with it? Am I just supposed to accept that as an opportunity to find one with the upgraded radio? I'm still gonna bring it to a mechanic.
All in all There is a new level to my overall satisfaction meter.
