Hi all,

For some reason I am getting very tempted by Kia Soul's, is there something wrong with me?

I like the way they look, they aren't huge but are very roomy/practical for their size and should be fairly comfortable. I know it won't be the fastest thing in the world (looking at the 1.6 petrol, 130hp n/a) but the majority of my driving is commuting 50 miles a day on the A1, mainly in traffic (average speed ends up being around 30mph usually). Plus I have an MGB in the garage for the weekends, when I finally get it back on the road (even though it'll still be slower).

Current car is a Swift Sport which has been fun but after getting stone chips over the whole car about a month after buying it new and having to have it resprayed the love has never been truly there.

Going through the usual brokerage sites (Car Wow, Broadspeed etc...) the best price I have found is £13,393 if I take finance, £2107 off list. This is for a 1.6 petrol 'Urban' (the one with the gloss black arches and trim on the bumpers). Going to try and book a test dive at the local dealer for the weekend.

Am I mad or am I just getting older and more sensible!? MGB and a Kia, I sound like an old man in retirement, I won't mention my desires to own a bungalow...
