It's been beautiful here in Michigan and there's two quick questions that I had about some observations I had. I've only driven my Crossfire consistently this week so I'm still getting used to it. Absolutely love it thus far. But anyway, here we go:

1. What's the average running temp of a Crossfire? Any car I've owned has always ran at just below half of the temperature gauge. The Crossfire follows this pattern although I've seen it tip just over half a few times. It goes just over half and hovers around there. Is this normal? All of my other cars have been rock solid at just below half unless there's something wrong. Just want to make sure there's no issue here.

2. I've noticed that some of the upshifts with my automatic are a little hesitant specifically between 2nd/3rd and 3rd/4th. I can feel the gear disengage and re-engage. I don't expect this car to be like butter smooth but after my Focus' transmission self destructed at 55,000 miles, I'm paranoid about transmissions...

Thanks guys!
