yea really, for the dollar to quality point ratio it is a bargain...

as everyone on these forums will tell you, its a helluva ego boost too... if you like it or not... people will be asking you about your car plenty... like today i was putting in a new interior in my friends SC300 Lex (nice inline 6 5-speed manual) and my crossfire was parked next to it along with my other friends S4... we had 2 neighbors come by all asking who owns the crossfire cause they want to take it for a spin, lol... no one even mentioned the other cars, which really ticked my friend with the s4 in the wrong spot... he was all like "oh yea i own the silver S4... he owns the crossfire..." but much to his dismay the S4 comment blew right over their heads and they proceeded to ask about the crossfire...

from what you say of your expectations, i think the crossfire is a safe bet as the car you are looking for...
