They are cute and all, but as for performance, when I was doing research i was less than impressed... They get between 40-55 mpg, and weigh about 500 pounds less than our cars. For as hyped up as they are, one would think the numbers would have been a little more impressive
I cant justify paying 15000 for a car that gets just as good gas mileage as HF....

As far as the kelly blue book goes, if you want to get a close to realistic idea of what your car is, go to kelly blue book, check the TRADE IN value, NOT private party, and select fair condition. Regardless of how mint your car might be, their always appraised at their fair trade in value.
