Jane, I think a Roadster with a 6-Speed would be a great daily driver/auto crosser. Hell, you can get one with warranty for about the same as a Smart Passion Cabriolet, maybe less. I'd love to have another one, and I'd buy a Roadster with a stick.

These truly are the best keep secret in the automotive world. I consider myself an ambassador for them. People are always blown away by what it can do, and what it actually is.

I can't believe someone in the market for a cheap sports car would choose anything else after looking at a crossfire.
