Too many choices of gear slots? hehe I'm thinking once I got used to the gearbox, that I'd really like having the 6 speed much more. I live in inner city Charlotte, but have a Vespa to do my city driving. So the Crossfire will mainly be for my out of town trips .

At 6'3" I'm on the taller end of most folks. I fit in the drivers side ok, but I feel pretty cramped in the passenger side of my Crossfire for some reason. It seems like there's less legroom because of a pushed back firewall or something? Once I'm inside the Crossfire I'm ok, but getting in and out of the thing never got any easier at my height. I think mainly because my height is mainly in my torso and not my legs. I had to put my ear against my shoulder to be able to bare get in the car... and Lord was it tough to get in it if someone parked too close because of my height. Oh well, none of these things will prevent me from getting another Crossfire. Like you said, you just can't beat what you get for the money with them. Once I started looking at Mustang convertibles in such in the same price range, I just cringed my nose at their cheap materials and build quality... and came scurrying back to the Crossfire side of the fence!
