Crossfire

[safesadie]

Never owned a car like it in my life. Biggest engine until now was 1.8l

This 3.2 V6 makes me smile every single time I get in it. It may not be the cup of tea of every man at work (yawn) but anyone that has driven it has been a bit jealous!

[Swoxy]

Is it automatic?

[dufusmuppet]

I really like them,and as long as you do then **** the haters..looks good in black,

[Dr-Evil]

Nice car, always loved the curve of the rear profile.

Should drive in a similar manner to our SLK (i.e. quite a giggle, lots of traction).

I'm awaiting the count down until someone calls it a crapping dog [/clarkson]

I love the look of these always have done and they're a very tempting proposition. Love it!

[Waugh-terfall]

I like those, what's the build quality etc like, aren't these very closely related to the Mercedes SLK320? This is going to sound seriously nerdy, but I love the SRT-6 I have on Forza3, wouldn't mind a real one, the Roadster possibly...

[safesadie]

It's a 6 speed manual box. Heard the whole "crapping dog" thing loads which makes me laugh - more credit to you lot for having your own opinions!

I love it, wouldn't swap it in a hurry. Test drove 12 cars, one of which was a new Scirroco and ~I chose this, I'd choose it again.

These are seriously good value for money, looks good in black too.

Same chassis I think.

[slomax]

I think the slk and the crossfire have the same engine and gearbox and chassis. I think it is very much like the saab/vectra and the s40/carisma.

I quite like them; I know they aren't the best drivers car and the interior is a bit naff but you get a great deal of car for your money.

Is the gearbox good? I thought they were all automatic. I like the shape of the car but I think it'd look better if the windscreen surround was painted the same colour as the car.

The gearbox is spot on - it likes to run away with itself a bit in 1st but it's sound.

It really was value for money, as for the interior I can't complain. Full leather, independently electric heated seats, eletric windows, mirrors etc etc, air con, adjustable steering column (I'm only 5ft 2 so that helps)

It looks great when it's polished but I live on a new housing estate and the dust is doing my head in!

[dirty boy]

Why didn't you buy a TVR?

Seriously...why not?

tut tut

[lucebayjack]

It looks like it could pull some awesome wheelies
