Hey all I just bought a 2011 soul base with only 8k miles on it. It is a 1.6l 5speed so not really impressive power lol. Anyways I bought it basically for MPG since I will be doing around 80 miles a day for work. I am going to put better wheels on it and better speakers big time.

So if there is any advice with this little guy let me know!

...welcome aboard fellow southern Californian!!! enjoy your new soul, by the way where in so cal are you?!

Right now I am in the O.C.

Took the little soul out for a drive today and it did pretty good. I do like how it handles for being a box with wheels lol. I would have liked to get the 2.0 motor but this little 1.6 will do. I am planning on getting wheels,intake and exhaust and that's probably it since it is a daily driver but I do need the radio to sound way better then it is now lol

...cool, 1.6 is fine and you will really appreciate it when it comes to the pump, with gas prices this high power is secondary for me hahahaha.... I'm in LA, Culver City, Pomona
