I just went on a 30 minute testdrive driving a BMW Z4 2.5i... I really didn't like it that much. The 2.5i model was really slow, more than 7.0 seconds to get to sixty on a 180+ hp engine. My 160hp RSX gets to 60 in 6.7. Not too impressive.

The interior was very cheap, too. More poorly made than my RSX I can tell you that. The plastic lining around the shifter squeaked and creaked when I pressed on it. My car is more solid than that. Visibility with the top up was pretty much nill, there's no 3/4 driver side vision at all.

Basically... I didn't like it. I found the Crossfire that I test drove to be better in nearly every way. Except for the killer exhaust note on the Z4. That was addictive.

Saying that, I just went on a day trip to Orlando and saw more Crossfires on the road than new model Civics, so they seem to have been discovered by the general populace, which means they appeal less to me.

 

Good, I'm glad...maybe you will leave now

 

Out of all the cars in my price range that are currently available I prefer the Crossfire.

 

 

The National Street Rod Association Car Show is being held here in Springfield and last night my son and I drove around where all the cars were cruzing. There were thousands of people lining the streets to watch the event. You wouldn't believe all the people pointing, staring, and asking questions about the Crossfire as we drove through the crowd.

One lady walked out in the middle of the street, right in front of me, and said to the group she was with, "My next car is going to be one of those." I just gave her a thumbs up!

Amazing that a new car could stand out amongst these show cars!!! I even got thumbs up from several of the Street Rodders.
