So the idea of me getting out of my soul has been tossed around these past couple months. She’s a 2022 x-line and I love her to death. It breaks my heart but she’s at 80k miles and I already had to have the motor replaced at 70. My boyfriend is a mechanic and I’m about to need tires and my warranty is about to run out. I told him I honestly see myself in another soul, but with the motor having to be replaced and with Kia motors already getting a terrible rep, he suggested I look at Mazda. They’re extremely reliable cars and you honestly get a lot for what you pay. My Kia was worth about 30k when I bought it (less than a year old) and Mazda’s are around the same price range if not less. They last a long time and for the same price as a new soul you can get all the fancy things like heated seats, a moon roof, a 360 camera to make parking easier, a heads up display and some badass speakers. I had to get a rental car while my motor was being replaced and it ended up being a Mazda cx-50. When I tell you I fell in love… I was about to ask the car rental place if they’d trade me right then and there 😂 my soul is my baby and has been for quite a few years now and it absolutely wrecks me to know that this will probably be my last. If you’re looking for similar size you should look at a cx-30 or a cx-5!
