Broke down and bought a new car

Know it ain't what any of y'all would of got. But Its what I could afford. It was financed for 4% interest.

The dealership 50 miles from me was running a special from the 2nd of August tip the 2nd of Sept.
I needed something that had a good warranty and got good fuel milage.


Its made in West Point Georgia

Its a 2015 Kia Soul Plus model.


It has a 2.0 engine 16 valve 6 speed Tranny
168 Hp.

It came with a lifetime power train warranty.
10 yrs 100,000 warranty
5 yr on the air conditioner.
23 city 31 hiway.

Right now its adverting 27.5 to 28.6 mpg.
Was told after the 1st oil change the milage goes up.
Got to have the oil changed every 5 months of 5000 miles whatever comes 1st.

Got Electric door locks, Electric windows.
AM/FM radio: can bluetooth my phone into the radio and when it rings I can answer it with the controls on the steering wheel.

Can play music from my S5 phone blue toothed to the radio.
Got Sirus free for 90 days.

I like it, and the OL likes it. We drove a little over 100 miles yesterday and used 1/4 tank of fuel fuel, out of a 14 gallon tank.

You're the guy paying for it. If it makes you happy and gets you where you need to go, thats the main thing.

Traded the old faithful Crown Vic in on a lightly used Chevy Silverado the other day. I found out after it's made in Mexico.

Got a 92 Silverado bought new ... had painted again last year, wont even tell you the bad gas mileage it gets, but paid for and gonna drive it on.

Just got back from AZ visiting kids. One son has one of them kias. Plain jane model. Stick shift no fancy paint or wheels. He's been abusing I mean driving it for a couple years now. I was using it a lot when I was there. Other than the embarrassment factor it ran well.

I think the warranty is really good; gives you some peace of mind. Hope you have many, many trouble free miles with it.

I pass

Well, I wouldn't buy one either. Looks like Paul Bunyon took a giant ax and whacked off the rear end - but, they are economical to operate.

263.00 a month with the 4600 I put down. And I got a lifetime power train warranty.
And 5 yrs on the air conditioner.

Its really easy to park Anywhere. and got a lot of room in it.
And will haul Ass.
I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
Would of never even considered one till I drove a Kia Optima a couple years ago.
And my sister in law got one.
And when I go to the bigger town 50 miles north of me where the dealer ship is.
You see the Kia Soul everywhere. I mean there are more women driving then than you could ever realize.

Thinking about renewing my Sirrus radio when it runs out in 90 days.
Got some good stuff on it.

They are nice vehicles.
Go test drive one. You might be supprised.
Got a big plant in the state of Westpoint, Georgia

I used to be the same way.

27,000 workers are at the Kia plants in the U.S.

Look at your Chevy and ford.
Parts from Mexico and China. Any difference.
Don't thing so.

Hyaundai and Kia , mercedes and Honda plants are big in Alabama too.

Lots of other shops in Alabama and all supplying stuff for these factories.

Talk to everybody back home about it.

All good points, still pass...

Lots of companies has left the U.S. so they can compete.
Know butler mfg left because of the union.

Yup, there are a lot of Kia's rolling around here, too. People like 'em. I like the idea that 27,000 AMERICANS have jobs because of them, union or no union.

Ha!
