I love mine and got it even after the reviewers did their negative antics. I read the TSB's and things but made sure to get one of the later ones. Just check Vin numbers and you should be okay. The last six digits are the ones that tell you early from newer. Nothing against the early ones but I felt safer getting a newer production model myself. Ive had zero problems by the way!! 8)
The Crossfire is so unique that people have a hard time understanding what its really about. I love the fact that it is built in Germany and its really a Mercedes. The reviewers might have dissed it but it can't be ignored. Its everything I hoped it would be and more!!

Drive one and you will know what I mean. That is when I decieded I had to have one!!!! :P
