First of all a general response. I guess I found this board to discuss issues and see others opnions. Thats all that I was doing, trying to get an interesting topic started. Thank you to those that had constructive comments!

As I mentioned in the begining of my post my improvements were/are for the most part VERY minor issue but things that I found less then perfect IMHO. I wanted to see if anyone thought the same or found other things annoying. I did mention that I love my crossfire.

I should have mentioned that I purchased my Crossfire from Ramsey Autogroup in NJ and proceeded to drive it to Austin TX (visit my best friend) and then to Sacramento CA (just under 60 hours of actual on the road time and 3600 miles).

I normally do NOT use cruise control in my typical commute (too much traffic) but on road trips its handy. I personally perfer the controls on the steering wheel, same for the radio. Anything that stops me from moving my hands off the steering wheel and my eyes from the road. Point is I did say it was just how I preffer things not that it was the best way for anyone else.

Gee...I guess I could have bought a convertible and that was the plan but I could not wait around for them to get one in stock. I decided to pick up the Crossfire on the spur of the moment while I was in NJ since I thought it would be a fun car to drive back instead of flying back.

I would definately be willing to pay more money for this car (as I did for my other cars) especially if some of my "minor annoyances" were taken care of.

I like the "agreessive" look of the car but I also know that that other car manf. can make a car look aggressive and have a good profile/stance while having the same sized wheels. Again NOT a big deal just something I personally prefer one way or another.

While I don't try to park in tight spots and generally try to look for open areas to parkk all my cars my reality is that I can't always avoid parking next to other cars. Again just more of an observation then a real complaint.

I have run into the (what I've heard called) nascar method of adjusting your mirrors years ago and that is my preferred method.

Overall I really love the crossfire. Its a very inexpensive car that a TON of fun to drive and handles like its on rails. The only other car that I think is a bit more fun to drive (AGAIN just based on my personal experience and ownership) is my 1994 911 Carrera RS.

AmCross,
I'm very sorry that I made a mistake in my post and used the #5 twice. That said I do know how to count do you know how not to be an ***?

wonderdallas,
I totally forgot the delay in the radio, VERY annoying. Lumbar...gods I want LUMBAR! = )
