I have a 2007 Black base coupe with a 6-speed and I love it. If you want a 6sp get it, they are a blast, its a sportscar. Base crossfires have cloth seats and are not powered. They are very comfortable. Radio is fine but I'm no audiophile. All base Crossfires are black and have no chrome (to me a big plus). They have no cup holder( cup holders are breakable and many have been removed from LTDs. I don't have fog lights so I don't miss them. Base models are black and they need to stay clean (might be an issue with Fla. rain).
Everyone on this forum really likes there car and probably wouldn't trade it for a different one. If you like Black go with a base stick, it seems to have everything you want.
Lets us know how you makeout
