 My grandfather always said, "if you don't go into debt you will never have anything." Which is true and false.... However, I went into debt to get this car. I had the Kia Forte before getting this vehicle. I loved my Forte but I needed to get off the ground.. It was terrible.When I purchased the Soul. O.My.Goodness best purchase ever. I do wish the storage in the back was little longer, for suitcases and such. But it works. It's more than I thought it would be.
