Hi there,

I had mine since 04/15 and love it....:-) All of it :-)
There are a few folks who have had one issue or the other with their car, depending on tranny and such.
Hardly any brand new car ever hits the roads truely perfect.
Some folks are not quite happy with all the interior amenities...."cup holder" comes to mind. So be sure to do a nice and relaxed test drive and check everything.

What you do get with the XFire is:

1. Million $ Looks for $30K
2. Very good handling and brakes
3. Lot's of performance once she's off the line ;-)
4. Membership in this here great community.
5. Chance to go and get together with other Xfire owners and enjoy a great time with never ending smiles ( check the Meets Forum for evidence )
6. Plenty of attention.
here are a few dampers that I can easily live with.

1. A little underpowered when coming off the line. At least in stock trim. (Not much longer)
2. Slightly less than perfect rear view when parking.
3. In tight spots the doors are sometimes a little long ;-) But who would park his baby in a tight spot...right?
4. You'll spend way too much time with the car.
Actually the stock brake pads are very very "dusty" but better replacements are available :-)

I hope this helps a little in making the right choice.
As for color .....Nah...pick your own
