I recently test-drove a 2012 2u w AT. Liked the power for such a small vehicle, but hated the driver's seat and could not find a good adjustment. Not a serious contender for wife's HL replacement, off the list for the Spring.

Shouldn't it matter if the wife finds the car comfortable rather than you if it's her car??

BTW...the Soul is still the best selling sub-compact in the USA.  I would have never guessed...but color me impressed.

yesterday I traded in my 2008 Rondo EX and purchased a 2012 Soul 4u with 6 speed auto.  The colour is Mint (green) and some of the main features are UVO with back up camera; 18" machined alloy wheels; cruise control; Infinity sound with 8 speakers and mood lights on front door speakers; power slide and tilt sunroof.
We are looking forward to enjoying our new set of wheels, hope its as trouble free as the Rondo.

I think the free golf lesson with Michelle Wie helped sales. OOOPs, sorry, I was dreaming.

 Actually I am impressed with this sub compact. Lately it seems that Kia and Hyundai can do no wrong.

Kia can mix their paint it seems. Great choice!

Congrats on the new ride!

I must say I miss the old tail lights.  I liked the fact that the rear turn signals were clearly delineated and amber in colour.

To be fair to the new grouping, it looks like there is a separation in the clear glass there; are the turn signals still amber or are they part of the longer red light bar?

thanks,

this will give you a better idea, there is an amber bulb in the upper section with white for the backup in the lower section.  It gives you very distinctive taillights.  ;)
