Well Ed...it is what it is...you could get a roadster with a bad top, or you could get one with a good top. Roll of the dice kind of thing. Mine has been fine, no problems, but I don't live where the sun shines very hot all the time..... They drive about the same as it's MB cousin.... YOU are on the XF site so of course you will get "why yes, I would buy a crossfire in a heartbeat!" answer....Good luck with your search...if you want a real thrill, forget the stick and get an SRT....and yes, I am bias on that subject as well....
