I considered buying a Sky but it was too expensive so went to a test drive for the Solstice convertible turbo.
I still like the way they look (specially the Sky) but the only thing I enjoyed was the turbo air sound. Interior was terrible (the top latch was already unaligned) and felt very uncomfortable inside. Manual top and a trunk space for a suitecase were unacceptable.
Had no doubt to buy the Crossfire once I drove it.

 

yeah I could'nt go with a manual top that would sux!!!

Now I wanna race the sky and the Solstice even a boxster but they just won't, but ill keep trying.

 

I once had a 1990 Buick Reatta convertible and drove it 325,000 miles with virtually no trouble before I sold it and it also had a manually operated top which was cleverly designed and very easy to open or close- The top vanished under the aft deck lid and I could lower the top while waiting at a red light. I wish the Cross Fire had that same manual top because of all the problems I hear about it here on the forum.

 

I was looking at buying a Soltice before the XF. The size was a big determining factor. I am 6'3"and I could not close the door on the Soltice. My leg was pinched between the steering wheel and the door.

No trunk, no auto roof and no size. They are crap, sorry to say..

 

It scared me at first, too. But most problems are that damn sensor in the trunk (which is easily replaced OR bypassed).

The electric trunk lock is an issue too, but disabling it was easy.
