Hi Yass006,
I use my Crossfire every day and am doing about 12k per year. I opted for the extended warranty ( info in another post ). I have a 12 mile drive to work, mostly fast B roads a couple of dual carriageways and have a heavy right foot. I am getting 22 MPG, but you could get better. Servicing is not bad, £240 for the first three then there is an expensive one ( my next , I'm told about £550) if you take it to the dealers ( like I do ).

The one to watch out for is rear tyres, the previous owner got 20,000 out of all 4, with my style of driving only got 10,000 out of the rears. I calculate that at 4.5p per mile just for the rear tyres !!! But they do look great ! I have just imported low dust brake pads for £100 for all 4 and fitted them myself.

The only weakness I am aware of is the heated seat. They seem to go on most , including mine ( fixed under warranty)

Other than that as other folk have said all the oily bits are Mercedes and I am expecting it to be reliable.

I do like that it is a bit quick and is a nice easy relaxing drive. The computers can just sort of take over and make your life easy when you want to, such as greasy roads in the winter and a short wheelbase rear wheel drive can need a bit of concentration in other cars. But when you want to have fun, you can. I have the auto with "tiptronic".

cheers,

Paul
