Default Thinking about buying a Crossfire!

Hey guys!
First of all hi! It's great to see that there's a forum like this! Second (and the main reason I'm here), I'm thinking about buying a Crossfire (limited, manual transmission) and I was wondering if you guys could help me with some questions that I have:

1.- Are there any problems that happen around a certain mileage that I should be aware of or looking for when I'm inspecting a potential Crossfire?
2.- Since I live in Denver, is it a good car to have on cold weather? Does it handles itself well on snow?
3.- In your opinion, what is the absolute WORST thing about this car?
4.- Finally, any tips or comments are appreciated

Thanks for your help and time in advance!

Not a good vehicle for winter like driving. Remember, it is a rear wheel vehicle. As for the other three questions, I'll defer to our forum experts. We have some great ones, and they know who they are��

I bought 2 XFs brand new. A 2007 6 spd Limited & a 2008 Automatic Limited. I put 90,000 trouble free miles on the 6 spd before trading it in on a SUV. During the last 40,000 or so miles of ownership I had 265/35/19 Blizzacks on the rear......NOTHING stopped that car!!! Drove around stuck pickup trucks when 10 inches of snow on the roads!!!!!!

Still have the 08 (29,000 miles on it so far) also trouble free.

I did have one cold weather issue with it.....one day when the outside temperature was minus 5 F (-5F), I was going 105 MPH on I-70 & it freaked out....fan kept running full speed. By the next day after sitting in the garage all night it fixed itself.

Fred .....

I do miss Fred!!
