Hi,
I’ve just been referred here by Beeblebrox - I'd just joined what is apparently a fairly inactive Yahoo group. I'm in the UK, and it seems that I'm in a fairly small minority there.

I'm a new Crossfire owner - I bought an '06 model last month. I upgraded from an eight year old Skoda Felicia - and the difference is incredible. I'm having to unlearn a lot of habits which worked in the Skoda but which aren’t necessary or just plain wrong in the Crossfire. It's a great car to drive - I've taken it all kinds of places the last four weekends. I work from home, so a daily commute doesn’t happen. I do some business driving, but the bulk of my car travels are leisure - and having a car that's comfortable to drive just adds to those trips. It's also a lot of fun to take out - I have been finding some pretty lame excuses to drive it places!

It's a bit of a head turner as well - I've noticed people looking at it as I drive it, and I’ve even been asked about it by a complete stranger. I've not had that kind of attention since I gave up the Morris Minor. Do Crossfire drivers wave at each other when they pass? When I had a Morris, it was the done thing. I can't say that I've shared the road with another Crossfire here (though there do seem to be a couple around the town).
