I bought the car on exterior LOOKS, and then was pleasantly surprised to find that underneath all that glamor was a real piece of mechanical art.

Re: Should I buy a Crossfire?
On your list the only car other than the Crossfire I would consider is the Mini Cooper S. The Mazda and the Nissan will fall apart long before the Crossfire or the Mini. I had a Mini and loved it, but the Crossfire is much more for the money IMHO.
As far as the power of the SRT, you will soon have a turbo option for the n/a 6spd and auto cars that will get you to SRT performance levels. The build quality of the Crossfire including the interior is typical Mercedes Benz. Yea there are some abused junk out there and I remember seeing a few in my search for my car.

Well las month I stopped by the Casino to see if they had tires (thats exactly what I told my wife)... And sure enough they did! with an extra 600 for gas to get to the tire store.
Maybe lightening will strike twice...lol. Kids started crying when I told them It was Christmas for Daddy this year

I wish my shifter would loosen up. It's still a ***** to get into second gear. But everything else is tight at 37k miles including the front damper, shocks, etc. So someone must have beat the crap out of the one you tested. Go find a well-maintained Crossfire and you will be impressed. If not, go buy one of those Jap cars or that BMW wanna-be. Also, you either love the styling or hate it. If the latter, again pass it up.

BettyBoo, you know this is a 12 year old post, don't you? I am pretty sure whatever was the issue, it isn't any more. .
