I drove a coupe with a stick around the time that I got my Crossfire. It was very quick and had a nice sound to it. Handled very well and was comfortable, but when I hit 65 mph, the front end started vibrating badly. I told the salesman about it and he found out someone at the dealership drove over a curb to park it near the road. I did some research and they had lots of front end problems early on - vibration, shimmy, cupping tires, etc - so I moved on...and a great thing I did since I started looking at Crossfires!
