No doubt they call it a Soul because it is soul sucking. It is not a bad car, but it ain't a good car. On the A to F scale it is a C. It has no torque at all until 3,500 RPM and it has the variable transmission so no shifts. Cruising along at 3,000 RPM at 75 MPH if a hill of any sort comes up the engine starts to wind up. A steeper hill and it is up to 4,500 RPM. Only 27 MPG and a 12 gallon tank.
It got us there and back and no issues.
As we were starting to cross the Mississippi river bridge a pickup with a gooseneck trailer hitch pulling a trailer with two vehicles on it decided he might like to be in my lane. I had to jump on the brakes and he missed be by inches only because I have fast reactions. Even better the FedEx truck behind me had good reactions and did not rear end me. It was a close call. I escaped only with years of defensive driving and the experience to be watching for him to be a crappy driver.
