Kia Soul's review is terrible. If it is worse than the Cube, I can't imagine how bad that car drives since I thought the Cube was really bad.

If you need room, Element is about 19K and Mazda 5 is 17-18K with the current rebates. Of course, you might not get 4500 for them, depending on the MPG. Oh and by the way, the Mazda 5 can do circles around the Cube. I actually autox them quite a bit, they don't handle all that bad for a minivan.

It's crazy with the 3rd gen Prius, everyone is pretty much sold out on the Prius, you just have to put your deposit down and let them ra^e you. I bought mine at sticker, so that's about it. It is a better car than the four cars I drove, no ifs and buts about it. I do look forward to the 51/49mpg rating. The car is quieter than the last one, faster (a lot faster, relatively) and it is comfy. It doesn't handle as good as the Honda, but it also doesn't have a stiff suspension that will break your back.

Honda and Toyota are tough to deal with, you would think in this economy, they would pretty much lick your rear end to get you into a deal. Yet they are still full of themselves, so definitely hard to deal with. Mazda and Nissan are easier, but then just watch for shady people.

I went to Honda today to look at a car today. On the window sticker, they had the car listed at 147xx. Since today they have this huge promotion about $8K off market price, well they just jacked a 199xx number on the windshield and then they would try to sell you the car at that windshield price. The guy look lost when I asked him why the sticker says 147xx and he is trying to tell me to negotiate from 1999x. It's lame!

I hate buying from dealers inside city, I prefer the smaller dealership, much easier to get a deal!
