Whats up guys, hope all is well in your world. I just recently totaled my 2000 Audi A4 1.8t and am in the market for a new car. I put over 23 thousand dollars in maintenance and upgrades into the audi over the course of a year!!! A new engine a turbo needed to be put in due to an oil sludge issue which Audi has just decided to recognize. This means i may see a good portion of that 14K repair I made to the vehicle.
Putting that whole mess behind me I now look forward...and I cant seem to get my thoughts off the crossfire. There is a problem, Im 6ft tall and 220 lbs. I went for a quick test drive and while i found myself comfortable I wasnt sure how I would feel after my daily 1hr 15min drive to work and my 3 hr weekend drives. If i sat up straight my head touched the roof. Im thinking it wouldnt be good if I hit a bump. Also, I could see the roof line meeting the windshield, and massive blind spots in the rear...I dont know, I mean the car was great on my 5 min test drive...we had to turn around to go put a plate on it but i was in a rush to get home anyway so i cut it short. The car had plenty of power the car burnt rubber when i shifted into second which put a huge grin on my face cause I havent done that in well over a year (my audi was AWD and an auto). Im thinking of the Mitsubishi Evo but its a cop magnet and doesnt have the class the crossfire has. Neither do the 350Z or the Mazda RX-8. Bottom line is guys, are any of you as big as me and go on long drives? Are you comfortable? does the roadster have more headroom? Is it good in bad weather? HELP ME OUT GUYS, I love the crossfire but i dont want to make yet another financial mistake....I seem to do this to myslef. perhaps there are more buttons on the seat. I know another test drive is in order...thanks
