if you buy wrong, or shy away from taking care off mechanical issues.....yes !. Just dont do those two things and you should be fine. Murphy is alive and well but you can avoid that guy. The Crossfire is a well built tank, a piece of German Engineering.

All airbags deployed the car was totaled but the firemen said the thing that saved her was the strength and design of the roof... Apparently the roof on the coups is supported and designed in such a way that it can take a pile of weight without crushing down and caving in. The firemen told her that if she had been driving something else she would not have been so lucky. So it appears these things are little "tanks" but I don't care to find out that way.
Another reason why the crossfire has caught my eye. I was mulling over getting a miata for several reasons (cheaper mainly) but the thought of driving an NA or an NB miata down the highway was quite terrifying, especially with no side airbags.
