good article. Sounds like a normal everyday type of guy instead of the usual nit pick to death auto journalist

 

No run-flats on my 2007.

 

Great find. Excellent write-up.

He actually liked the "archaic" steering!!! Every other review always talks about its lack of road feel.....THEY DIDN'T DRIVE IT!

 

Never heard of the Crossfire being equipped with run flats....

or emergency brake assist.



Surprising that at 5'7" he doesn't think anyone over 5'10" could fit comfortably. I'm 6'1" with a 36" inseam and I fit just fine in mine. But he also claimed to have experienced no discomfort in spite of there being no adjustable lumbar support. That is my only real complaint about the seats in this car as my lower back starts to hurt after more than 30 minutes behind the wheel. I have a lumbar pillow in the car and keep meaning to get it to an upholstery place to have it mounted behind the leather.

As for his experience with the cup holder (which many of you echo) I have to disagree. I'm one of just a handful of people on this forum who actually uses the darn thing (even for hot drinks!) without issue. Nope, it's not the best one I've ever encountered (that was on a mid '90s Dodge Caravan minivan - incredible cup holders in those things!!!) but it does the job.

 

Nice article, by a local writer. The pic's were taken just a few mins. from my place. Maybe I'll look him up and let him know that the sat nav and the CD player can be used concurrently.................at least for the most part.

 

I enjoyed reading the article.
Since articles are becoming few and far between maybe we
should have articles in on place on the forum or an easy search for them. just a thought.

 

I like that idea! I really do.
Too bad I'm not a mod here, or an admin or I don't OWN the site.

 

This is a fantastic article. I've been reading my manual (2008) front to back, back to front and sideways as needed. I should have started here. This article gives excellent info and I am now smarter! Thanks! Aliicia

 

50 lbs of chinchilla food? Either he has beaucoup chin's or he is stocking up for the year. We have four and not only does 5 lbs last for a couple months, but they can turn it into 20 lbs of crap. Good article, btw.

 

It was a great article. He comment about only the base model having a manual is a bit wrong though.
