Cvup Holder Has My Vote<<<

 

I can't believe you guys don't like the cup holder A lot of R&D went into the exact positioning and random popup action. It takes a lot of engineering to be able to strike you in the funny bone every time especially when you consider it will get you no matter what your height and seat position. Those krazy germans

 

Here's a link to a post showing my cupholder solution:

I love my cupholder! I can take cloverleaf entrances/exits with a full 44oz drink at over 60MPH without it tipping over. However, it IS an auto. If it were a 6-speed, I'd probably have ripped it out of the console and thrown it off a bridge by now.

My least favorite feature is the high doors. It looks great when driving, but whenever I try to use an ATM machine designed for the SUV yuppies in my part of town, I have to lean half my body out the window.

 

Yes, with a manual, you would have a different perspective. I never use my cup holder. If I replaced it with the pocket, I would still bump what ever was in it with my elbow.

I agree about the high window sill. I like draping my arm on the door, especialy with the top down. Mail boxes, bank terminals and ATMs are difficult, especially for old bones like mine.
But then your butt sits 4" off the ground, so everything is too high.

Car sure looks cool though.

everything .... the only good feature is it's looks !
$1600.00 for tires
$2100.00 new clutch
$750 00 for muffler
$115.00 oil change
lousy sound system
no tilt steering wheel
lousy seat positioning
blind spots
no spare tire
lousy gas milage
cannot be driven in the slightest bit of snow
93 octane gas
and the list goes on and on and on ...... all of this to turn heads when you go down the street .... i need my head examined !

 

Sounds like you need to sell it.

BTW - you got a bit overcharged, my tires were $800, and my oil change $92. Also, half of the sound system problem can be fixed with a pair of capacitors for about $2.

 

Soooooo..

What do you want for it?

I feel the car should come with a helmet..... I have about an inch of headroom, if I ever roll the car I'm going to be a whole lot shorter!

 

The stupid GPS I am supprised no one has said a word about the GPS yet here is my thinking first you can't program it ,then you can't see it, it is the most useless peice of crap on the car. the restof the car is greatwell almost the ride is a little too hard,Oh! you just have to know i just learned how to use (set up) my cel phone, jim

 

With all due respect, it looks like you picked the wrong car.

 

I have now had my crossfire for a few months and the lousy cupholder is certainly a big drag......cheap looking and only on........... in a car like this they should be ashamed!

 

I don't know who is doing your maintenance, but you are getting absolutely flogged on pricing, dude. Buy your own parts and have someone do the labor. Most of the things you referenced pricing on was at least 40% too high. Otherwise, I think you may have purchased the wrong vehicle.

I'm going to say my least favorite feature is a non-existant one; line in for an MP3 player. I'm using a DLO TransPod FM transmitter for the time being, which works very well. But sooner or later I'm getting a JVC KDNX5000 w/ iPod adapter.

I'm surprised so many people have referenced the audio system in a negative light. After making a few basic treble and bass adjustments, the system acquits itself quite well. Even the GPS system, sans color screen, is so simple to use; fast route calculations, easy to enter addresses, clear voice directions, I didn't expect tha aspect of this car to work as well as it does.

 

Well, it's only been a month but my only gripe is the sloppy shift gate. I have the 1st gear issue when cold but the odd time it's like it pulls itself into 4th instead of 2nd. Lot of side slop in gate. Might have to have it checked.
As to everything else, I agree with SRT6nTULSA. I drive my 6 spd with a large coffee and haven't had a problem..yet.
I think the GPS is great, needs a small light to punch in info but then you're away and you don't have something hanging off your dash with a wire hanging down.
So to sum up, the same shifting issues already listed but... so... what, you get used to it.
When the sun is shining, top is down, wind is blowing, you forget the little pecadilloes and does this baby turn heads.

 

You will love it.

16 gallon gastank It would be great if the car came with a 20 gallon tank. I might look into fabbing one up if it can fit.

 

I have to agree-- the seats are really a procrustean torture on even moderately long runs, and as far as six-hour stints behind the wheel are concerned... horrid, simply horrid! But then, it didn't cost as much as a Bentley Continental, so I suppose I shouldn't complain when it falls short of that motoring paragon. That said, there is no excuse for seat bottoms that are less comfortable than those in my '63 Morgan, or a new Mazda MX5!

 

The gas light comes on when you're above empty. What?!! Personally, all the other cars I've ever driven let you drive 50 miles or so below empty. And the gas guage is divided by 6. Shouldn't it be divided by 8, so you can say "I have 3/4 of a tank, 1/4 of a tank, etc. I'm getting used to it though.
