Well doggboy,, congrats on being a daddy.... and welcome to the wealth of info on crossfires (XF)'s.... There are nothing but XF people on this forum so their input will be one-sided so to speak. If you haven't been in to sporty cars before, not sure why the XF has tripped your trigger, but it is a very fun car to own....others will chime in their opinions, but you won't get a better sports at a low price....it's too bad they are selling so cheap, because they rank right up there with most triple figure cars in a lot of catagories....good luck on your decision Dad...
