First, read this: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ire-coupe.html

It is a recent review of my experience getting to know the XF.

The Crossfire is a little funky and different. The interior styling, for example, is kind of like a 1950s "Imagine the future" concept look. If you think you don't like it....I don't expect it would grow on you. It feels a little cheap to the touch but it isn't over time.

The first time I drove the Crossfire I was not impressed at all. After putting about 4,000 miles on it since August I've found that it is a very rewarding car that can hang through more than you might initially believe. Don't take my word for it though, according to Motor Trend it beat both the 350Z and RX-8 through the 700 ft slalom. I think the catch is that you need to be a good driver or get very used to the car. An SRT would eat them both for lunch easily.

I've had a 350Z, I have an Inifiniti FX, Crossfire and BMW Z4 now.

The Nissan drivetrain in the 350/FX is fantastic and proven to be incredibly reliable. Lot's of aftermarket parts but at the same time very common.

Unless you get a loaded up variant of the others, the Crossfire will have better options for like years.

Great choices all around: good looking, great handlers and all reliable. I suspect you would be happy with all three so perhaps choose the one that stirs your soul the most. Finally- check the insurance on them, Crossfire owners aren't typically hoons so there could be a big difference depending on your company.

Have fun- let us know what you get.
