w00t w00t! I knew I bought my baby for a reason. That said, I still need better fuel economy.

meh to the touring. Kinda feature lacking and very expensive for nothing really. 21K for what?
We just got the Soul which may be either ugly or "cheap" but it turns out to be very feature rich. -------------------- |

$19,500 msrp for the SE, which you can negotiate down. I have from the factory: seat warmers, Bluetooth, XM, esc, abs, telescoping steering, B&M short throw, ipod integration, aux input, lotsa airbags, and a 172 watt 6-speaker stereo system.
Go compare that price with those features to the Mazda 3 and the Toyota Matrix. Go build a top trim Soul with those features and you easily approach $20,000. Touring comes out on top in value. Some additional food for thought: Soul vs Cube vs Touring -------------------- Check out and vote on my 2010 Elantra Touring:

That review is for the 2010...... We got a 2011....
Bluetooth is std... on soul, so is ESC and ABS, XM and airbags.... PLUS CTO is cheaper for soul than touring. In my opinion and the wife's - the touring is ugly, heavy and stupidly small engine for the weight of it. A very frumpy looking wagon. What it boils down to is looks. - Do I like the look of the soul??? Helll.... no... But the wife does and whatever she wants, I'm happy to provide. She's driven a 2002 for 7 years she's welcome to a lambo is she wanted.. Glad to see you got a good deal on yours.... -------------------- |
