I bought this vehicle during grad school after having to give up my other car (due to damages from a break in). I could not have been happier in this vehicle. It has literally saved my life. I was in a car accident that troopers have never seen someone walk away from, let alone drive alone from, which I did. I feel so safe in this vehicle. I am only 5'1" tall and can see perfectly out it! Even though it is considered a compact vehicle, I can load so many things into it. When moving over 12 hours, it was packed full. People were truly amazed how many things I can fit into my vehicle. For example, I bought ten bags of mulch and six trays of flowers. All of that fit in the back seat and the trunk area, without having to put anything at all in the front seat. The interior has held up extremely well with moving, plants, and a dog in it for hours on end. The seats have held up extremely well with no rips or issues. Currently, I have over 90,000 miles on it and plan on keeping it for at least another 90,000 miles. It still is running like the day I bought it (it only had five miles on it when I did).

The Soul is a great little grocery-getter. It is roomy enough on the inside to not feel like a compact car even though it definitely is. If you purchase it new, it has a great warranty, so you never have to worry about anything major going wrong with it.
