I've only had my XF since April, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Its solid, a ball to drive, reliable (from my experience) and a bargain for what you get. I haven't driven it in snow yet and I doubt you'd fit your ski equipment in it easily. But, that's what I have my 4x4 beater for. If you can afford a winter rat in addition to the Crossfire, I'd definitely buy the Crossfire.

I test drove a Crossfire from Carmax then found a color I liked better at a local dealer. Keep looking on the web, you might find a newer XF for a similar price the way the market is right now. Good luck and let us know if you jump on the Chrysler. I don't think you'll regret it.
