I had a first-year PT Cruiser. Always liked a car that turned heads. After 3-1/2 years, there are too many PTs -- and way too many cheap plastichrome body modifications. Was thinking new Mustang GT, but it's just too much like the old Mustang style. Decided to look at XFire at the same dealer where I bought the PT. Drove one. I was impressed -- definitely not with low-end torque, but with its mid-range performance. Leased one. PT was in such good shape I got a great trade. Love the XFire, and turning heads once again. Thinking about intake and exhaust modifications.
