Re: Is the XFire worth the money
I have just owned mine a couple of weeks so far, but it seems like an INCREDIBLE bargain to me so far. I paid in the low 20's for my used 2005 SRT6 roadster with less than 14,000 miles, and which was owned and maintained by a gentleman who was a european car mechanic who owned his own shop. The car is meticulous.
Where else can someone buy a near new car that performs anywhere even close to this one for this kind of money? A Mercedes with an AMG, hand-built engine that handles like a super car? That will do 0-60 in under 5 seconds, but will do 60-100 in what seems like a split second! With the top down!
I read a lot of reviews before I bought the car, and most said that it was a very impressive performer that was very well made. But, they also point out a lot of negatives such as ride quality; less than perfect steering; and a lack of many amenities. Well, I gotta tell you- I think the ride quality is great for a 2 seat sportster; the steering and handling is unlike anything I've ever experienced; and the speed and responsiveness make up for the lack of amenities.
For those that say that the car is ugly, well, to quote from Dude Lebowski: "that's just like your opinion, man". I think the look is completely unique and very cool.
To take it a step further, the fuel mileage is unreal! I can drive 80mph with the top down and get 24mph!
Put me down for WELL worth it!
