Sounds like a very realistic and fair evaluation of both cars and I can tell you were and still are a Crossfire fan. I like the Eclipse, my neighbor has one and I think it's a very neat car! We are always teasing each others about our vehicles and which one is better.
He has a 2011 Eclipse and that speaks for itself...it's funny to think more people stand around and look at my vehicle 10 years later than his 3 year old car. It's like you said, the Crossfire is just rare and not to be seen that often! Non the less, I drove the Eclipse and it's a lot of fun and I would buy one any day! For now, I'm very happy with what I got though and wouldn't want to trade it
Congrats to your car! Sharp looking ride with beautiful color and rims!

looks wise i think the xfire looks better no pop up wing one the mitsu. the convertable part is pretty cool. the eclipse looks much better with the top down. the xfire came with cool accesories like the locking gas tank and intermittent wipers, the eclipse came with hids, bluetooth, back up cam and a stock rocksford fosgate system 650 watts with a 8" sub built into the back seat both had heated seats.
quality mitsubishi will never be the same as awell pretty much mercedes. the tranny is a lil more rough
having mivec kick in around 4200 rpm is nice. the door handles on the inside of the eclipse are a lil weak and tend to break. the blue cluster is sweet
i am beating more cars with the new car but it did start with 50 more hp plus ive done a lil more to it then i got to with my xfire.
they are both fun cars i did see less xfires around then eclipses some parts have burnt orange ones out the ying yang.
