Default Re: Would You Still Purchase A Crossfire

Unfortunately no. Well, maybe. If I did do it again, I would buy a brand new one. My car had 10k on it when I bought it and something just doesn't seem right. It feels a bit tired. I can't pinpoint what is wrong with it, but it definitely doesn't feel fresh. The drive train is noisy (I know, I've heard tons of things about this being normal), and when the SC kicks in at a normal acceleration rate, the engine bogs or surges and the drive train makes a nice rattle, though this could be resonance(?) for a second. All I've ever been told is that this is normal, but I've driven in the AMG SLKs and it is not normal. The transmission has a mind of its own too. This is a shame, because all I've read about the AMG engine in our cars is that it is nearly bullet proof except for the cooling pump failures.
The biggest reason, I probably wouldn't get one is due to the treatment at the dealerships. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM AND FIX THAT PROBLEM WITHOUT ALL THE B.S.!!!!! I don't want a car where even a good long term warranty doesn't mean squat. Just my opinion.
