Why do you own the car you do?

[MineralMan]

124. Warranty, Price, Availability, and Suitability

Those are the reasons I bought my current car. It's a 2013 Kia Soul.

5yr./60k Mile bumper to bumper warranty.
10yr, 100k Mile powertrain warranty.

$14,000

The base model I wanted was in stock. I needed it that day, because my other car broke down and we only had one.

The car seats four comfortably, gets good mileage, and can get out of its own way when needed.

I looked at several other cars, and none fit my equation. Cars that fit the price range were not available at any dealer in the Twin Cities in a base model, which is what was needed to fit the price. Other cars had 3yr/36k mile warranties.

So my wife and I decided on the Kia Soul, after spending most of the day researching available cars. We went to the dealer and drove off with it less than two hours later.
