I sold my 07 MX5 in January because I felt like a change, I also wanted something 'different'. Whatever I got had a lot to live up to because the MX5 is a stunning car to own and drive.

I got a 55 crossfire coupe in grey with 24k miles. The condition was mint inside and out, incredible condition really. However I've now had it 6 months, so what do I think.

Fantastic....stunning to look at, always a talking point, gets endless attention, superb car, very very rare, drives and looks like new, quick enough, not too bad on juice, reliable, I honestly can't praise it enough, I absolutely love it.

When I suss how to upload some pics I will.

 

Great to hear, i was very suprised how easy my Crossfire is to live with and enjoy driving it. Far too many 'haters' out there that have never owned (or even seen) a XF to honestly comment.

 

a 55' Crossfire? theyve been around that long huh?

 

55 reg is late 2005 in the UK.

 

That's encouraging to read as I'm just about to sell my 2001 MX5 Sport and the XF Roadster is at the top of my wish list (I haven't driven one yet though)

 

WARNING !!!!! DON'T DO IT !!!!!!
If you do, then your back account is going to take a hit and all your friends will ask why you are walking around with that stupid grin on your face .......

 

It couldn't possibly cost more than I've invested in my MX5 (you call them Miata's) in the last 3 months.

 

Out of interest how's the ride quality compare to the MX5?
