Nah, I was just in Hawaii last week and rented a Kia Soul off Turo. I ####in loved it...was even going to make a post about it but I just haven't got around to it. That is one outstanding vehicle. I'm 6'4", my daughter is 5'9", wife is 5'3" and son is 5'7". So two talls, one short and one average. We fit super comfortably and it held all our luggage with ease. Incredible fuel economy compared to what I'm used to, great seating position, really nice tech and very comfortable for long drives around the island. It is so nice to see such a great car that is affordable and is a totally competent and efficient family car. It wasn't a penalty box at all.

And bear in mind, my daily driver is a very fast tuned CLS550, so it's not like I went from a Ford Tempo to the Soul. Still loved it. Such a great size for toodling around the cities and towns, too. Small car, but doesn't feel small (in a good way), but then feels super small when you want it to be (like parking).
