Smile Re: Is the XF an Ugly car?

I have never enjoyed a vehicle as much as the Crossfire. So far, the only things I miss are fog lights (I have the base roadster) and a cupholder. I laughed when I heard all the complaining about the cupholder (which I don't have), but two days of picking up lunch at work (which means driving while holding a soda all the way back to work - with a 6 speed), tells me I will really miss it. I also miss the fact that the sun visors don't swivel. They are fixed at both ends. That will be a pain when the Sun is on the left side...Driving comfort is high and it tracks really well on the road. I spend a lot of time driving around the state and I know I won't tire of driving this car.

Style-wise I'm amazed at the attention paid to the car. Even the guy across the street just told me what a great car it is (he drives a Corvette).

I haven't figured out how to best mount my Radar detector - I prefer a "hard-mount" to the windshield -suction thingy. I will figure something out. The radio is just OK - I've seen better - but not in my 99' Mustang which is what I got rid of to buy this car. It is way better than the Ford radio.

These are mostly mild inconveniences... I'll report back more after I've had some quality time with it...

Oh yeah... a bit more of a pain - it is very easy to activate the cruise control when I don't want to - the stalk is way too close to the directional - but I assume I'll get used to it...
