Hi All,
I'm interested in purchasing a Crossfire Coupe and rented one ('04) for the weekend to really get a feel for it. I had a few questions I was hoping could be answered (keep in mind, this was a renter so probably taken more abuse than intended - just wondering if these issues were common or just for this car).
1. Power Steering - the power steering was virtually non-existent when the car wasn't moving. Meaning parallel parking and 3 point turns were difficult? Does this occur in all Xfires?
2. At times, when I pressed the gas hard the RPM's would jump up, but wouldn't pick up any speed, and then the car would have a very, very rough idle. I would have to stop, turn off the car, and then back on again - then everything was fine! I'm assuming this doesn't happen for all cars.
3. There is a little black "dial" by the manual shifter - what's that for?
4. When at the gas pump (and I tried various gas stations), the pump nozzle kept "stopping" and wouldn't pump the gas. Only if I applied the slightest pressure to the nozzle, did the gas go in. It literally took 10 min to fill the tank. The rental agency told me about this, but again, I'm hoping it's not a common problem.

That's all for now. Thx for the feedback.
