I've now had the soul for just over 3 months and 500 miles short of 3000 miles. Have had zero problems with it and would recommend. I'm happy I went with the lease too. My deal was for $400 a month with zero down with 12K miles per year for 36 months.

Thanks I used cotton swabs and paper towels and that worked fine. Charged no problem. I thought I had damaged something but glad to know it was just water that needed to be removed!

I was rushing and disconnected my car and just started driving. Went about 4 blocks ranging in speeds from 25-45 mph before I realized and pulled over to close the orange cover and the door. The inside of the charging port is wet. What do I do? I'm sure I can't charge it wet.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment. I ended up leasing (first time ever) the titanium gray EV+ with sun and fun package. So far love this little car and so does everyone that sees it or rides in it.

You got a great deal at under 35K! I'm trying to get the sun and fun package EV+ too but so far one place is not budging under msrp and the other is going 1500 under. Sent inquiry for under 2500 at a third place and going to try a fourth place for even more. We'll see. Any suggestions on...

I feel exactly the same way, that I am at a disadvantage because I have never leased. What is the Money Factor and how does it affect your monthly payment? So did you end up with a Soul? If so, what deal did you get? I read in another post that people were getting 12K miles with zero at...

So I'm definitely leaning towards leasing now. Any thoughts whether being able to use the $7500 federal credit would sway anybody from leasing?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I can only imagine what will be available for the Soul EV and other EVs in 3 years. I was also thinking of going with the 15K miles to be on the safe side. Do you happen to know the difference in monthly lease payment between the 12K and 15K miles?

I will be getting an EV+ this coming weekend if all goes according to plan. Still haven't decided whether to buy or lease, but seems more people are leasing. I on the other hand am thinking of buying for several reasons. One, leasing is new to me; always buy and keep for about 10 years. Two, I...
