Main things I am wondering about the crossfire, is how it would compare in handeling, peppiness, reliablitly, and cost to repair and maintain.
Also, is the manual/standard transmission variety of crossfire fun to drive, moreso than the automatic? Or is it more of a hassel? I personally like manuals, and am going to get a manual if I get an RSX or S2K, but some cars, it is better to get an automatic version of, and was wondering that about the crossfire.
Thanks!
I think the rsx can be ruled out, FWD sucks. s2000's are nice, but if im not mistaken, they are more expensive than crossfires. Of course I'm biased, and I'd say go with the crossfire. I couldnt tell you if an s2000 is expensive to maintain, but I've heard they have puny differentials, and practically no torque. I dont know what kind of warrantee honda offers on them, but chrysler offers an 8 year 80k warrantee on certified used (from day of first service) on the drivetrain. I love my 6speed, and I'm glad I didnt get the auto. 1st gear is pretty steep though, at least compared to what Ive driven.
