mea,

Not to turn you away from the Crossfire or the 6-Speed, I think it's a great car... but there are a few people, including myself, who are having problems with the manual transmission. 1st gear pops out of gear unexpectedly when accelerating. See posts on the subject under "Technical and Modifications" on the forum.

IMO... the 6-Speed "is not" a very smooth shifting transmission. Some of the reviews I've read on the car have also said the same thing.

I'm sure Chrysler will do the right thing to fix the 1st gear problem. It may take a little longer with the Crossfire being new model.

Fingers crossed and hoping for the best,
