I would imagine your going to drive this car year round right? Since your just starting driving I wouldn't recommend a Crossfire at all. Most first time drivers wreck their car within the first year of driving. Reason why I don't recommend the Crossfire is that once you wreck this car you are done. No replacement parts for you unless you are extremely lucky. SRT-6 is way to fast for a first time driver. A great price but too much of a car for you. Your N/A Crossfires are plenty fast enough. I say get the VW Golf. I believe they are faster than the N/A Crossfires and you can get replacement parts if you wreck it.
