I forgot to ask. Do you think a 5'10" 250# guy will fit in that seat? There are NO XF's around here to try out. You just don't see them here. Maybe I'll look at the member list...duh

Just checked, no good. I guess you can't put in "Vermont", and come up with all Vermont members? Anyone? Bueller?

You know the wrong people. Everyone I know likes the Crossfire. The Crossfire stickered at mid 30s. The Bird stickered at mid 50s. Now that they are older would you rather deal with an old Jaguar or an old Mercedes?

Hight seems to be the biggest determining factor when it comes to fitting inside a Crossfire.
The steering wheel telescopes.
You shouldn't have any problems. The interior can feel claustrophobic at first to some, but most people get use to it. I don't remember anybody selling their car because they couldn't find their very own "sweet spot".
Between the two cars, I highly recommend the Crossfire over the Bird.
Essentially the T-Bird is a short wheelbase Lincoln. The Crossfire is a Mercedes SLK that (most people think) is better looking.
If you could take a good long drive in both cars back to back, I think it would be a much easier decision for you to make.
Good Luck

I bought my Crossfire as a retirement car 4 1/2 yrs ago. We drove to Virginia City with a group of Crossfires recently from Oklahoma City. 700 mi the first day and 500 on day 2 & 3. My total mileage was 3800mi+. No comfort problems at all. I didnt hear anyone else complain either. 3 other couples with us are also retired. If you want to look like an "old guy" get the T-bird, if you want to enjoy a car get a Crossfire. I would buy one again. Good luck and take your time.

How many T-bird owners own more than 1?
Several members here have 2 and up to 3 Crossfires.
And no they won't be on the next episode of Hoarders .. LOL
