Default Re: Watch out, Newbie here in need of some Crossfire buying info.

Apkano and Stogey are right and unless you get a bad one, which are statistically rare, but to be fair they are machines, you'll be one happy camper if a two seater, VERY powerful car is what you want. I've had mine now for 4 months, 5K miles, and have loved every minute in that car. Not one hiccup. oil changes are pricey with the syn 0-40 weight, and 8 qts of it, but so what, I do it every 8K. I drive the car reasonably gently as my daily driver. But if you look at the maintenance schedule there's really not much there to do. The car is solid, a head turner, fun to drive, and reliable. As someone said, "who dreams of driving a Civic?" Because they're so inexpensive I've been trying to get my wife to buy one, but she's the practical one in the family-thank goodness for at least one of us being so! I have what you're looking at, an 06 LTD coupe, and find the trunk space is pretty good. Which is why I wanted a coupe. I don't need the power of the SRT so that was somewhat meaningless to me. I'm very happy with my LTD. Mark
