Re: Location role call...
AlvinByres,
I don't want anyone to get the idea that I didn't enjoy my 350. When the car was first introduced I was thrilled to own it. There are some things about that car that started to grate on me though. The ride was far from pleasant, the transmission on my particular car always acted difficult to say the least, it chewed up front tires, the interior had a very cheap feel to it and everyone in a souped up honda civic wanted to drag race at traffic lights. I do miss the power and overall handling balance the 350 had.
As far as the Crossfire, the entire car is much more refined. The engine is more smooth, the ride is far superior and the sound system is better. The interior is a step up but not quite up to the level I was hoping for. Even though the Crossfire feel signifigantly slower than the 350, I have to ask myself how often I ever really used that much power anyway, same for the slight handling advantage. So overall, I feel the Crossfire is a superior product for what I am looking for in a 2nd vehicle.

Thanks for the comparison. There seems to be greater variety among available cars today than at any time I can remember. Since variety is the spice of life, I am always curious about people's different tastes ... it's peoples different tastes that is driving the variety.

Checking in from the the HUGE Suburb of Shawboro, NC. Pop. 15 people, 10 or 12 dogs, several stray cats, and lots of deer!! On the map I'm just south of the Tidewater area of SE Virginia on your way to OBX. A Shout out to my fellow Xfire mates in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, VA.
