A couple of days ago I took delivery of a 2016 Soul SX in Caribbean Blue and traded in my 2012 Soul 4u. I lost the sunroof and Infinity sound system but gained quite a few new items like:
- power folding mirrors
- smart key with push-button start (that takes some getting used to, keep reaching for the key in the ignition location when I turn it off )
- auto climate control
- supervision cluster
- leather seats
The vehicle feels familiar but different
I also got a few accessories with it:
- hood guard
- side window visors
- cargo tray
- bumper cover
- front floor liners
here's the bumper/protector cover I was referring to (could be many ideas on what this entails), its a brand new accessory from KIA Canada, works fine on a sedan trunk lip too.
its has a Velcro strip and it sticks to the cargo floor material and then it folds while still in place and stays flat on the floor and its always available whenever you require it. I thought it was a great idea.
Don't use winter tires. I'm retired so if its bad, just don't drive till things improve, but in my area the main road and even our street is cleared quickly and it most cases the road are clear and dry again, just can't justify spending that amount of money on rims and snow tires for very little use.
