Default Re: crossfire: what you like and what not

1-you like of it;
Styling, shape, color, looks... I love swooping fastbacks.
The backbone rib across the entire car is a nice touch of cohesion.
It looks nothing like any modern car, and yet looks "modern" all on its own.
Mostly reasonable and reliable in the drive train and engine. Enough get-up I guess to feel sporty and not get myself into trouble.
6 speed and RWD with Torque
Can disregard any cautionary speed sign for corners... well as long as I can see its safe (and no other cars will be in my way).

2-what you dont;
Mercedes Tax, clutches becoming unobtainable, lack of power... cup holder.
Muddy base and treble in the stereo system.
Ride quality can't decide if it wants to be a relaxed sports car, or worn out race car.

3-what you have been able to correct.
Miscellaneous interior tweaks
Mine came with a little custom cup holder insert, which is nice.
Slowly planning on refreshing the suspension, my crossfire looks like it has lowering springs, but I'm pretty sure they're just worn out stock springs with the thinnest spring pads available.

Wear a sports coat, men! I did just to shake-up my otherwise t-shirt wardrobe, and I swear the seat was 10X more comfortable and supportive when driving with a sports coat on!
(or maybe I just thought I looked cool... ok?)
