A Day in my Kia Soul
With all of the hype and excitement surrounding the new Kia Soul, I figured it would be a good idea to get a first-hand opinion of someone who actually drives one of these things, to find out what it’s really like. So I asked one of my good friends, who already drives the Soul, to give us a little insight into her daily life with her new favorite addition.
9:30am- So, I woke up this morning to a b-e-a-utiful summer Chicago morning. Not too common these days, so I figure I have to take advantage. I call up four of my friends and we pile into my new Chicago Kia Soul and head off into the city.
10:00am- On the road heading to the city! Windows down, sunroof open, and iPod blasting through the stereo.
10:08am- Officially stuck in traffic. But not going to stress about it even a little. Because my wonderful Waukegan Kia dealer gave me the whole rundown on mpgs and how fuel-efficient the Kia Soul is, so my friends and I can worry more about the current music selection, rather than going through gas too quickly.
10:39am- Still sitting in traffic. Bumper to bumper to be more specific. And though I may not be the world’s most focused driver (especially with four of my friends screaming Kelly Clarkson lyrics in the back of my car) the Soul keeps me in check with its solid braking system and even keeps my friends from yelling at me for making the jolted stops I have been known for in the past.
11:00am- Finally made it into the city. After an hour of bad singing in the car, everyone is ready to do some shopping.
2:00pm- After some quality “bonding time” aka power shopping, we’re ready to head back and show off our new purchases. However, with five women times four bags per woman that equals a lot more than we came with. But, have no fear, Kia Soul to the rescue. Everyone and their bags fit perfectly with no squishing, and no one had to leave any purchases behind (and since that wasn’t going to happen anyway, I’m sure my roof cargo box would have come in some handy).
2:15pm- Deciding to take a different route home, my friends and I got to escape the stop-and-go traffic of the city and speed right on home. And though my Waukegan dealer where I purchased my Soul told me, I never expected any of my girlfriends to realize how well the new Kia Soul drives. But he was right. On the drive back all of my friends commented on how smooth it drove and how fun and quick it was downtown.
3:30pm- After finally dropping everybody off at their respective places, I drove my new baby back home. With the windows and sunroof still open, I drove around for a little while soaking in the sun and my new Kia Soul. I have never been the friend who likes to drive anywhere. I’m usually the one who will make up any excuse she can find to get out of it. But now, with my bright red new Kia Soul, that my Waukegan dealers got all customized for me, I have no problem driving my friends around. The Kia Soul has been a pleasure to drive so far, it’s fun and spunky and I adore my new purchase.
