Thumbs up Re: Why did you choose the Crossfire?

S2000 amazing, funny... 9,000 rpm, no electronic control VTEC!!!... BUT! quite hard to find with low kilometers and if they have not done maintenence in Honda.. quite dangerous..
Mazda. RX8. 4 seats, good car, similar to S2000... but gasoline adicted! (in italy now gasoline is around $2 dollars for liter).
Xfire: saw once when jammed in the traffic... falled in love!
350Z: Japanese sport car... Have one for a full day to try... FANTASTIC...
So at the end I was buying the 350... but the day before i found a crossfire, few kilometers, good price... I went to see it! when it came out from the garage... No way! It was stunning... different from everithing you can see on a road.
Maybe is not the same of 350 how performance but also not to far ... BUT!!! is the right balance between performance, confort and price... I drove it for 6,000 km (in 4 weeks) this summer during my holiday with my girlfriend and luggages... trip of 900 km in one day... Non problem to my back!
I'm happy to have it...
I was the first in my city... yesterday I was talking with my father and he told me that now there are 2 more xfire! (I'll check when I'll back home from Abu Dhabi,)

Ciao
