As my father has just gotten a new job in downtown Atlanta, (an hour drive in the best of conditions...) he wants to trade in his manual transmission Kia and take my automatic Toyota. He has said he will buy myself a new car because he wants the epic milage that my Carolla gets. He is split between getting a Honda fit and the beautiful Crossfire. He is already in love with the CLK 320 he got my mother last year, so he already likes the idea of a Crossfire. His main concern is that it does not have a spare tire due to its different wheel sizes. This is the killer issue for him and I need some help with telling him the BEST reasons to get an xfire over a Fit . This car is going to be the one I take to college in two years, so I'm going to have it for atleast 3 years.

Yes, i'm very new here. It's great to find a forum dedicated to this great car.
