I took an Ion down to Indy 2 years ago for the race. Packed full of coolers, bags, tents etc. Back seat and trunk were stuffed full, me and comonboys inside, and running an average of about 70 mph, and we got 38 mpg. Not the most comfortable car in the world, but I would definatly get one as a commuter.

Took the detailers less than 15 min to do......lmao

Depending on the warranty coverage, that could be worth it.
THe product I sold you got all that plus an undercoat, it cost $659.
Granted, it was a lifetime warranty as long as it was reapplied (free of charge) every 5 years.
Great coverage too, any stains on the interior, that portion was replaced and treated free of charge.
Paint loose it's shine, product reapplied free of charge. If that didn't fix the problem, the panel would be repainted or replaced, again, no charge.
That's worth it in my book, if you intend on keeping the vehicle.
