Re: So … why the heck did you buy a Crossfire?
Well I was looking for another Fiero with V6 and 5 speed but all I found were run into the ground. Then I found the Crossfire. Already had a Grand Cherokee so (for me) was a logical progression.
Have always preferred a 6 cyl two-seater for a personal car back to my Jag days. Power steering, AC, and a six speed were all plusses that offset the lack of tilt steering and a roof vent.
Four years later am still enjoying it with a new set of Contis the only real expense. Now also have an SLK320 with about half the miles for topless days, again a logical progression and most spares fit both.
