How to submit a car
• Video - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Of all the cars to ever exist, this is among them.
Amogus
This car offers a... ride.
This is a car.
Of all the cars I've ever seen ever drive on the road, this is one of them.
My favorite line from the video lol. That and the bit about if this car were soup it'd be just broth perfectly describe these things.
*The two are wearing masks. Both are sucking on each other's exhaust pipes.*
To sum up this vid in RCR's own words:
"We struggled to remember anything about the car itself. We almost forgot we filmed this."
Kind of ironic how the Soul tries so hard to be different from all the other economy cars, and yet is still as forgettable as the rest of them, if not more. You could say that it is... Soulless
@@MCTogs at least a box is a better form factor than a sedan.
@@TheSalPic No not really. Higher centre of gravity, poor aerodynamics, bad in crosswinds, extra weight.
The best form factor is a station wagon, best of every world. Lower down avoiding all the problems with a box, still loads of space, roof is easily accessable for even more space.
@@thegearknob7161 well I’ll head out to find one of those economy station wagons and whoops I live in the US. We barely even have economy hatches.
@@TheSalPic Only stations wagons now are made by luxury car makers like Mercedes, BMW, Volvo and Audi. Nothing for the common working man.
Kia Soul: the official car of walking into a room and forgetting why you went in there in the first place.
Kia Dementia..
Damn that's good 👍
JAJAJ 😂
Joe Biden car
@@zacharysnyder2520 Weeee. You must be fun at parties. You must be the people version of the Kia Soul.
Kia Soul: The official car of holding up the passing lane because you’re too afraid to pass a semi-truck.
on point. Then if they pass the truck they go into the truckers blind spot and brake check him.
@@stevemcrichards8768 Can confirm, though a lot of other people have tried to do that and get away with it.
Or setting the cruise control at the speed limit in the left lane and ignoring all your surroundings
My aunt has one. Guess what, she's afraid of driving next to semis.
@@andrewhaywood1262 tell her to get over it or turn in her license
I had an automatic one and it was the okayest car I've ever owned. When it got totaled while parked, I was amazed at how indifferent I felt.
what'd you get after? another one?
@@SpaceMissile Subaru Crosstrek and never looked back. The Crosstrek is a great little car, if slow. It ain’t slow in the snow though!
I felt that way with my 2013 chevy Impala. I bought a Subaru outback after it got totalled.
I had a Kia Optima for 2 1/2 years, I now have a Toyota Corolla. Don’t miss it since it had the dreaded engine rattling, and all the fire recalls they’ve had the past few years.
@@dillonh321 I drove a 2018 Chevy Impala with a V6, it's a night and day difference compared to the 2013 year. I achieved 30 MPG combined driving mostly freeway speeds on a 1,000-mile road trip! 22 MPG combined through town. Not bad at all.
Kia calling that car "Soul" is like Lamborghini naming one of their models "subtlety"
Ha! Good one.
Lamborghini Zuppe
E Class Lambo
The Lamborghini modest!
The Nissan Rogue is about the most tame vehicle you can buy
This review is Soul crushing.
I see what you did there. Brilliant
How do you double the value of a Hyundai?
Fill the gas tank.
There ya go.
@@kpopkpop5235 talk about savage
Not only that but it's meant to be an extremely affordable car so for what it provided at it's price point and even for it's year it was a very good car obviously not built for much performance.
Disappointed you didn't mention the fact that this thing has way more storage room than it should rightfully have.
I've never been in one but I've been in a scion xB and it was CAVERNOUS.
@@cesarioordonez9844 But you can't move them in anything approaching a hurry.
@@cesarioordonez9844 Especially if you stack them.
@@baronvonjo1929 @LazerLord10 I replaced my wreck 2004 first generation XB with a 2018 Kia Soul of this same generation in the video.
with the rear seats folded in it definitely does carry a fair amount of stuff. Weirdly? My 2004 XB held more stuff.
Despite being a bigger heavier thirstier car, the second generation Soul doesn't have quite as much interior volume as the old cheap xB, which just annoyed the piss out of me when I figured that out.
@@baronvonjo1929 I own a Scion xB and it really is.
The soul is such a car, that by the time I finished the video I realized I was watching a video
Underrated comment
*Wearing masks first the model of the car.*
The Soul is for the guy who bought a Huawei phone in 2013. _"I just needed a phone."_
🤣😂
I also had a Huawei

“It’s a conversation about the weather in the line that you get in to shake hands with the priest after church.”
One of the most brutal descriptions I’ve ever heard about a car.
Narrator + this vehicle = all the excitement of a dental office waiting room
Before or after the anesthetic and the massive bill?
and STILL more exciting than Toyota's entire lineup
Kia Soul: The official car of graduating from college with a degree in General Studies.
I got a degree in General studies. That's how I became a General.
Kia Soul: The most ironic name ever given to a soulless car.
it has so little soul you gotta have double the soul of the average human in order to ride it and the devil not spawning on the passenger seat and taking you and your soul to hell.
that is the true story behind the name.
I like my Kias, but I feel like other reviewers I've seen had hyped up the Soul way too much...
And in Englandland, the press seem to herald the ev version as the second coming. No. No it is not
@@pigeonpoo1823 that’s the thing with Korean brands period. Their products really aren’t that good, but they spend a ton in marketing (aka bribing and sponsoring), and it’s working. So never trust reviews you see especially about Korean brands (including electronic brands like LG). Many reviewers won’t even say they’re sponsored by them, which is really amoral.
Kia Soul: the only soul this car has is its name.
"so corny you can't digest it"
The depth and scope of your poop jokes will never cease to amaze me.
At least he's not wasting an English degree and a brilliant mind.........I can die happy whenever he writes his first novel.
"...and momma hamster gently but firmly, pulls at your toddler harness". That line just about knocked me out hahaha. Keep up the great writing guys.
Finally found a car, that's too regular for RCR.
It's just so *normal*

Omg wow
A car for a man who listens to “learning Italian” CDs to try and forget that he’ll never go to Turin now he’s married with two kids and stuck in an office job.
Help, Im in this comment and I dont like it
@@jimmyjohn4611
at least you got two kids
and a job
@@EggBastion what's so great about that? I rather have no kids and a career

Kia Soul: The car for when you dont care if you locked it, where you parked it or if you keep breathing
“Hey, is that your car over there? I think someone stole it!”
“Is it? Huh...”
Man both of these comments made me laugh much harder than they should have. Thanks
You know the type of person that drives this car before you see them, but they are just too normal to point out.
As an owner of this exact vehicle only in another color, you are absolutely right.
Damn, I’m not usually like that. Thanks!
I have the same year Soul with manual trans in silver. I bought it new in 2016 for exactly one of the reasons you mentioned. It's an appliance. That is exactly how I view it. I'm not excited to drive it. I don't stare at it after I park it. I'm completely indifferent about it. It serves a function like a refrigerator or washing machine. I'm 50 years old. I've had many cars over the years including several V8 Camaros and trucks. Sure they were more thrilling, but I'm too old to work on crap anymore. I just need something that works. I've had no repairs on this car as of yet, just fluid changes, fuel system cleaning, and a battery in almost 5 years. It is what it is. A very reliable appliance, and for that I'm thankful.
I had a green one like this with the auto as a rental in Vegas. I actually liked it a lot, it had particularly comfortable seats, like 90s car soft seats.
I own a 2015 Kia Soul base (1.6L with automatic transmission), has 267k miles on it. bought it with 203k miles. it was a gamble for sure but pretty reliable so far under my ownership except for having the front catalytic converter replaced which was 100% covered by Kia corporate anyway. The seats are comfortable. I can drive it 500 miles and no complaints except for feeling kind of tired out compared to driving a more upper scale car like a 2013 Ford Taurus. It's an economy car after all so I can't complain too much. I enjoy the way it handles but the ride is pretty stiff more so than the 2005 Toyota Corolla I had (Corolla is the most comfortable economy car for taking bumps/cracks in the road from my experience). I'm 6'3" and the Corolla's steering wheel position was too awkward and close to the dashboard to continue driving it, too uncomfortable like most economy cars especially anything Toyota/Scion and Honda. Kia Soul has to do for now with its awesome interior ergonomics. Awesome interior ergonomics design is by Peter Schreyer; a designer for Volkswagen/Audi group that works for Hyundai/Kia.
I used to talk with a goth girl who said her dream car was a Kia Soul and then she shaved her head
Sounds about right.
Dodged a bullet there bud.
@@cavalierliberty6838 Except such girls are freaks that are sometimes up for a threesome.
Kia Soul: The kind of car that attracts fans of LMFAO and furries.
Furries are hipsters.
Scarily accurate
You mean both?
Used 2016 Kia Soul $5,481
Original MSRP/Price $15,900
65% drop in value in 5 year.

Did you know they were planning to make a race version? It was gonna be called the R Soul.

This is not the kind of review that I was looking for! It was disrespectful, crass and out of line! It was the best review I have ever encounter! Hilarious!!! Thank you!! 😂
As a truck driver, me and my other driver friends are in concensus about kia soul drivers being the new kings of bad drivers. The kia soul, for the driver who loves racing past a truck, pulling in front of them entirely to close and slowing down. Seriously, i brace myself anytime one passes me.
You can almost always count on crossovers and tall shitboxes like these to be driven by distracted, half-awake lumps of mediocrity. If I got a nickel for every time I was stuck behind a Sante Fe, CRV or RAV4 doing 5-10 under the limit I wouldn't need to work more than 2 days a week.
@@wristofkings Man, I've got a crossover myself that I take off road, I met up with a group of other like minded crossover drivers to go to an off road car meet, and they just barely drove the speed limit. Granted, I had my doubts that the CRV in our group with an 8 inch lift and tires that'd make a jeep jealous could really go much faster, but still.
@@wristofkings Wish I'd wrote this comment myself. Perfectly encapsulates my experience.
I drive home delivery for a pharmacy, which is not nearly the same as driving a semi, but I can absolutely confirm. These are often driven by people who should have self-driving cars.
I would rather drive on a highway populated entirely by Kia Souls than come within 500 yards of a Honda Pilot.
if I had a dollar for every time I saw a Kia Soul with anime stickers on the back window I'd have enough money to build a replica of Kaneda's bike AND his jacket.
Bless you fellow lover of magical superconductor-suspension anime bikes.
Don't forget the Deathly Hollows symbol, a phone booth, or a 20 sided dice. Lol
This is too true
@@Cyromantik If those bikes were real..
I always liked the Kia Soul, it's cheap, spacious and reliable with unique styling. Maybe the driving experience would change that
As enthusiastic as Daria “of all the cars ever made, this is among them”
Anyone remember the hamster commercials with LMFAO?
I remember the hamster commercial with Black Sheep
Yes they were awful. ghetto hampsters with pants down to their but and underwear popping out acting all thug. Also back then Kias were very bad little junky cars. Tehy got a new ceo and started making improvements from 2014 onward,

Yep. Zero feedback or resistance until you hit the stops.
I learned to drive on an older one of these; the tricks I learned in this thing taught me to parallel park my old Cadillac Brougham.
I was really impressed by all the features.
Missed you man. Needa review older cars. But im very impressed you come up with 20 minutes of dialogue explaining the whole existence of something that only about 5% of the population think about. I love it. Maybe ill get my car reviewed one day lol.
Kia soul is the smart kid in high school who never went to college and all they amounted to was becoming a manager at a BB&T bank.
I’m the Kia Soul
Dude, I'm that kid. Are you telling me I could be a call manager someday? Hell I'll take that
That's not a bad life, dude.
@@thatdapperfellow and the Kia Soul is a car.
I'm a smart kid who isn't going to college and won't amount to anything.
I, no joke, wanted a Soul when I first was looking at cars. In my defense, for as bland as this car is, it's the only modern non-sports car that looks noticably different from the other modern non-sports cars as far as I can tell.
The Kia Soul: The official car of middle age women with a "who saved who" bumper sticker, and a trunk full of reusable shopping bags from whole foods that are only ever used at Winn-Dixie.
It's a solid car for its price. Spacious, quirky design, and surprisingly nimble. I learned how to drive stick in a KDM 1.6 6 spees manual. Rev hang is significant and by all means a slow econobox, but it was fun to drive thanks to the MT and it had character.
KIA Soul, the official car of “I just drink kirkland’s wine”
"Oh no, my Kirkland wine has turned in vinegar. I guess I'll just have bleach."
One of these catastrophically blew a head gasket in front of me while going down the freeway once.
remembered it existed
I bet that was an excellent viewing experience
are you sure he wasn't running seafoam for the intake valves? kia soul has a GDI engine up until 2019
@@Lincolnator721 mmm I shall seafoam my car while driving on the highway to make a tactical smoke screen this is a good idea yes
How would you do that
@@a_common_weeb I’ve ran a T connector off the pcv hose to connect a vacuum line and bring it in the cabin. Have a friend dip the hose into the seafoam can on deceleration so it can slurp it up while you’re driving around.
“Ass mice ass nice ass mice !!!!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂 that made my day
I am surprised at how popular that green color was on that car. Thanks for the fun review, RCR team!
I rented an early Gen once. It was the S version which had adjustable, comfort/sport suspension. Was fun to drive all out at 10/10ths.
You really got to give it to the marketing campaign for making one of the most memorable car ad campaigns ever made. People to this day still know it as the 'the hamster car'. I can't think of another car like it
Now the newest gen redesigned Soul (2020-present) is known as the chameleon car.
Kia wanted to shift the marking towards a younger crowd. Still not sure if that worked for them as they tried with the 2nd gen Volkswagen redesign (which is the same gen as in this video).
The Kia Soul: The car for when you've just broken up with your ex and need a car cause the one you were driving was in her name.
Best comment ever😂😂
My mom bought a 2015 Kia Soul and it was bright red. The funny thing about it in 2015 these cars were considered odd especially with the boxy design and the fact she got it in this bright cherry red made it so that EVERYBODY knew my mom was driving it. I was made fun of for it but in all honesty I quite liked it. Going on road trips in it was fun. We could pack it up SO easily and get it all out in one go. We literally helped my mom fully move in 2 trips with it unbelievably. I also learned to drive in it. It was automatic and had the bells and whistles. It had sport mode and Bluetooth and I honestly enjoyed driving it when I was learning. The sport was quick but not over the top and the steering felt good even though it was the only car I drove at the time. But you are right RCR in a weird way it is also a soulless car, the only thing that gave it the “soul” were the judgments of the people around it. Some thought it was overly sporty when it wasn’t at all close to it and some believed it was overly economical when it also wasn’t.
I bought a 2nd gen 2014 Kia soul 1.6L 6spd auto. It's pretty much as you described. It does nothing so well that it's noteworthy. It also doesn't suck over anything too bad either (except power maybe). I think it does everything I need very "good enough". It's almost a quality in it's own, having so many areas that are ok. Decent size, decent mpg, decent maintenance costs, decent price tag for what you get and decent safety. I think it's the best choice for what I'm looking for weighed against upfront/maintenance costs. That being said, it's sluggish, really plastic heavy and not too pretty. A solid 6/10
Edit: I forgot to mention it's a GDI engine so expect more carbon deposit buildup or give it a little extra care.
i learned stick on my 2013 kia soul base, its like driving a washing machine
Washing machines have more torque
@@superadventure6297 this is true
I'd rather go for a spin in a washing machine.
I knew this day would come, when you'd review my car and I would feel called out and shamed. ;)
This is one of the most soul awakening reviews to ever hit the market. If only I had watched this. I would have saved myself the effort
The only saving grace I found with mine when I owned it was that with a cheap aftermarket intake you get significantly improved throttle response, and even better it lets you hear the variable length intake manifold switch modes and do a pretty decent imitation of VTEC crossover.
0:55 that Kia bunny seen it all, Look at that tired sarcastic stare
Hamster*
Oh wait.. that's a hamster.
I thought it was a Lemming
Kia Soul: I turn left as soon as the lights green and blow my horn at people driving straight
If that hurts your feelings, you would kill yourself in Pittsburgh.
In a 4 way It's not uncommon for people going left to sprint off as soon as it's green
This one hits close to home...I own 2 kia souls and I love them.
Agree with it all and I still enjoyed filling mine with friends and family when I had one years ago.
Kia looked at the Skoda Yeti and went, 'yes, personality, we have some too.'
I remember the hamsters, I remember when the sexy humanoid hamster showed up. I remember wondering where they were going with that. I remember not getting an answer.
They main demographic where furries
I'm glad they never gave us an answer.
@@BigWheel. I'm not I'm into that shit!
@@russetwolf13 But you're talking about it out of the blue saying "sexy humanoid hamster" like it's still on your mind... you ARE into it!
*I'M NOT JUDGING!* I'm not judging... Okay *MAYBE* just a little bit because you need some better taste man.
Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)
You remind me of our own mortality every review. And it's just cars, but the way you personify them somehow makes me feel not alone.
I wish RCR would stop comparing car seats to private airplane seats as if we know what those are like
Edit: looks like it's an airliner. Thought it was another Cessna-Like comparison
Pro tip: they're awesome
If you know tho... its really funny.
The embraer is an airliner
Pro tip Ryanair is in Europe and don't fly the Embraer, he just combined two things without even understanding if it was true
Embraer is a cheap regional airline manufacturer. Your discount flight has a good chance of being on an Embraer, and yes they hurt your back.
The Soul is popular among seniors because it is easy to get in and out of and easy to drive.
And they ain’t buying base 6mt.
I'm 53, own a '20 Soul turbo and can confirm. RCR is right about the seats. I have a bad hip from my military days, and its seating sucks.. So much so, that I had to buy wheelchair air cushions to make it comfortable. Beyond that, it's like a cheap Walmart toaster, it does the job.
It's the new PT Cruiser. Easy to get in/out of, lots of cargo space, meh MPG.
It's the new scion XB, RCR already did the hip car turned senior favorite because of boxey shape and ass height seats
At least three of the old ladies living in my condo have one of these. They drive around town at 30mph to and from COSTCO. One of them is green like this. I can't think of anything else to say
The guy who engineered this is about as excited as Asian parents when you told them you got a B in math.
AYEEE the modern regular car we all forgot existed! Way to deliver us the ultimate in normcore.
One of the boomers I used to work with had a two-tone BROWN Kia Soul.
It was beautiful.
He said he bought it for the warranty. I believe him.
No matter who I'm with, or where I go. Someone always says "Hey it's the hamster car!"
i appreciate everything about this
“It’s pretty much, almost, not quite, good enough”
The title of my memoir
The only car so forgettable that you could buy one, forget you did, and call a tow truck in the morning to remove the trespasser, only to remember it’s yours
*Laughs in Russian*
This "boring" crossover is pretty great and good looking by our standarts! What's this? Lime metallic colour? What are you... capitalist who can... You can buy a base version without any problems? NOT ON CREDIT?
*Crying in Russian*
I’d still rather have a Lada Niva.
dude no one in america can blow $17,000 on a car “without problems”. ive lived in kazakhstan and in nyc/america for a while. credit debt here is a similarly shitty issue to everywhere else, just an infinite enslavement because you either pay your credit OR your bills. but if you wanna pay your credit, you cant pay your bills. so enjoy your homelessness.
@@danboah2501 I understand you, but what I heard from Mr.Regular is that all americans with average income can allow themselves now, in credit, is a HUGE pickup truck! In comparison, russian with average income can almost only get a Volkswagen Polo or "special for Russia" Kia Rio. You know what's "special" in it? It's just last generation Rio with slightly changed optics, because Huyndai and Kia sees that the most of russians with average income can't allow it to buy a new generation. Every year our prices go up, ruble is unstable and range of vehicles you can buy without grey import is less now. But I guess at least we don't have a crazy SJW people who learn you how to live and who you should respect and stand on knees for them. We even got a criminal article for propaganda of unconventional values... Hm, now I guess everything is not losted in our oddball country.
@@mushijian7839 this is somewhat true! I'm from America, there's a lot people with middle class jobs out where I live tend to take ridiculous amounts of debt out on unpractical huge trucks they don't need, they often THINK they can afford it, but it ends up being the reason they can't send their kids to Univerisity. I drive a 2010 Nissan Cube thats in great condition, and even when I have a better paying job, I don't want a car bigger than I really need. Many of the older Americans are wasteful, whereas us younger folks (especially working while in school and starting a business) tend to live more practically. Some Americans like to act rich and drive big cars, but to be honest it's a façade. They aren't happy. They're just appearing to be.
@@ethandewicki576 Yeah! This thing with pickups and trucks has gone wrong for now. Pickup and truck originally is a car for work! Make them simple!
Had one of these as a loner when I was in a wreck that almost totaled my Rav4, felt like driving a takeout container on the highway
I have been waiting for this
The official car of the SOULLESS meme
I loved my automatic soul I bought in 2013. It was just a solid car, decent mpg and lots of storage space. Great deals in my opinion
"it's so corny you can't digest it" wow amazing pun 😂👏👏👏
I work for a Kia dealership. Would love to have you guys come try out our cars because they are so much better now. The Telluride is world changing!
The 2020 Soul with 6 mt is a big improvement over this one
Ya know, getting that itch is probably because you're goin' in too dry with that toilet paper and then wipe too hard. You're gonna want to pat that butthole with damp toilet paper. Takes longer, uses more paper, but in the long run it will help you deal with like 98% of the causes of unwanted butt itch. It's also not a bad idea to use a little dab of vaseline.

Or just get a bidet
@@emmber19 just wipe 7 times than get in the shower anyways
Wet wipes are awesome. I don't care if they aren't actually flushable my butt is clean and I don't need ASSMICEASSMICEASSMICE
sounds like a bidet with extra steps
Hey, when are you going to do a KIA Soul review?
I like the use of shadows on the ground during filming - it's edgy and dynamic.
This is actually a useful review, as I have a son who'll be thinking about buying a car sometime and now I know this ain't it.
The Soul is the official Karen car, I've seen more "live laugh love" stickers on Souls than any other car, I'm not kidding.
"Be Kind"
As she calls the cops on her neighbors for letting their kids play outside.
"Coexist" while screaming at those who politically oppose her.
You're not wrong.. I've noticed that. It is to the Soul as the Coexist sticker is to Prius drivers.
pretty sure the Toyota Sienna is the official Karen car
It’s not even a good Karen car tho. It’s a poor people Karen car, it’s not like when a Karen cuts u off in her Mercedes SUV while she live laugh loves her kids to school. The soul is the kind of Karen who yells at a grocery store cashier because the beans were a dollar cheaper in the isle then the computer said they were
I love my Kia Soul it’s spacious fuel efficient and inexpensive no it’s not an enthusiast car but it’s very practical I paid just $14,500 for mine as no one wants a stick anymore .
I got mine for the same price. It too has a standard transmission
*no one in America
I would love to see you review the newest Soul just to see how they compare 6 years later.
My sister has one this exact spec and year and as it goes it’s a good econobox and roadtrip vehicle
GameStop had a car giveaway back in 2014 for the release of _Dark Souls 2._ The car was a Kia Soul with a _Dark Souls 2_ livery wrap. Today, I can find absolutely no evidence of this giveaway, nor can I find the fate of this car.
Fans of FromSoft seriously got the shaft on that one. Fans of Doom and Final Fantasy could win Lamborginis, Audis, and Toyotas during their respective promotions.
Ah, the car I learned to drive stick in.
I'm so sorry
more or less me too, 2011 5mt though
@@calebangell77 Why? I learned in my 1996 Nissan hardbody lol
Try a 1986 Jeep Cherokee.
With the 2.5 litre four cylinder.
I feel for ya. It was an 09 kia spectra5 for me.
At least the spectra5 has good suspension I guess
Just bought one of these... The exact year and all lol. Just in black. Love it.
I got a 2015. Love it, in black too.
I don’t own one of these but used one for taking my drivers test. These surprisingly drive smooth af
I like seeing a Soul on the list of cars I’m working for the day, they NEVER give me any drama, no broken bolts, no electrical connections that won’t come apart...
That’s the upside of being such a boring car: you never get into a fight with it, even over the little stuff like air filter latches (that just snap closed with minimal effort). Because a fight of any kind would be exciting.
This is one of the cars I learned to drive manual in. I worked at a dealership in high school that had one with a 6MT on the lot forever that I would drive around on really slow nights. Absolutely nothing special about it but definitely memorable for me. Eventually led to me buying my first Miata so I guess it led to something good 🤷♂️
I'm very glad I went right past these and got a BR9 Legacy wagon instead.
The clutch is electromagnetic engaged my buddy had a 2018 Forte 6mt that was the same way but that had the 2l so it had some pep in its step but not alot
My brother called this a key asshole. Now I can't unhear it.
What a birthday present :)
Thank you RCR😍
I love my 2020 Soul. It has the 2.0 and is pretty fun,especially in Sport mode
I bought a 2023 VW Jetta 6MT last year and can confirm the clutch has very little feeling. Learned how to drive stick on an old Dodge truck and happy about it. My Jetta is finicky at best.
Wait, 5AM? Huh, I guess this was a stroke of luck, not having been able to sleep
My step mom has a manual kia soul of the same year and this is exactly when i learned clutch
I find your comments about the Clutch to be quite interesting. I own a 2016 Veloster Turbo with that 6 speed MT and man is that thing like an 1980s CRX si!!!
I've been waiting for this day
