Are the Crossfires significantly more expensive to maintain (given their benz heritage) than the other japanese cars I listed? Are they a good reliable, fun car to own? I don't need a speed demon, just something stylish and quick, something to have fun on my long (45 mile or so) commute to work. Thanks in advance! Frank R.

What is the pricing on the three candidates? Are they all stick shift cars? Aside from the base Crossfire, what are the other model levels with the other candidates? I rejected the 350Z, due to the suspension issues that ate up tires until the 2006 model year.
The Crossfire is "fun" to drive and own, due to the limited production. Keep in mind the base model does not have all of the bells and wistles of the limited, no leather, fog lights, no amplifier and subs, that may be a downside to the comparison. Its all about the cost of the cars mentioned. The oil changes are anywhere from DIY $75 to a dealer change of $120-$150, but its good for 8,000 miles.
Come back with more details and I'm sure others will respond. Also use the search button for advice on new car purchases.
Good Luck,
