1. We had two of them for six years total.

My son had one too. Here is their review: They are great little cars, no complaints about maintenance, etc. Gas milage on the highway was about 26 mph. Lots of room in the back for your "stuff.'' You will be amazed at how much you can get into them. Only (minor) complaint was that it wasn't super comfy on long trips. It drives a little "stiff" and after about 4 hrs, you can get tired. But perfect for short trips or commuting.

Hope that helps. I have an SUV, and we could actually get more large items into the back of the Soul. Also, they don't come in all-wheel drive, only front-wheel, which might be a consideration in NY. We're in western PA and never had any trouble going in the snow.

Your answer helps a lot. I believe he has driven a front-wheel drive in winter before. In_The_Wind Dec 2016 #2
