Bought mine in August of this year and have put 12k miles on it with zero mechanical problems. I had the wind noise and the squeaky spoiler but those were easily fixed. My 6-speed manual shifts about as good as the 5-speed on my Prelude so I either got a good tranny on the Crossfire or a bad one on the Prelude.

My only real complaint is that first gear seems too short.

Like someone said earlier, this is not a car you buy because you want sensible transportation. Its more emotional than that. You buy this car because its cool...
