I would like to add, (as I was the person who posted the thread initially!), I actually bought my crossfire after/despite seeing Top Gear's review. I consider the remarks of the presenters to be biased and subjective. I would advise anyone considering a car that Top Gear has thrashed or even given rad reviews to drive the car him/herself!

At the end of the day, buying a car is a personal choice and I bought my crossfire because I thought it was stylin', fast and stood apart from the usual pack of BMW's, 350Z's, S2000's etc. And a year after buying it, I have not changed my mind - its still a fab drive and still turns heads!
