Ok I admit I'm honeymooning...

And this is the nicest car I have ever owned. By that I mean, best built, most features, nicest design, coolest looking, best handling... etc.

But I can't wait to get into it. And currently I'm driving like your grandmother on morphine.. slow and low. And I still love every minute of it.

Am I an idiot or does everyone go through this phase?

 

I have had mine for almost a year now and I still smile when I see it!
Sometimes I just stare at it an think about what to do to it next...

 

8 months in, and I still stare and stare and stare at the beauty of this car!

 

I drive my Crossfire like the world is going to end tomorrow, the day I drove it off the lot

(150 miles on it) I was pushing 130 mph, I just can't stay off the gas, the sound the feel

and the tunnel vision while operating this machine... like I stated in the video "Even

when it's sitting still" "It's still moving at 150 miles per hour", the feelings I have about

my Crossfire is what I reflected in those few words... hooah

 

I look at mine and it makes me happy. I am 45 and it is my first new car. I am separated 3 years give the "ex" all I have - for my kids. It was my 14 year old son who convinced me to buy it. My brother is a GM of a Chrysler dealership and after all the discounts I was still feeling guilty but finally said screw it.

My son calls it the "pimpsy" because he says it's pimpin. I feel good just knowing it's mine. Best move I ever made. I can't explain it, I just love the car.

 

This Car was and IS one of the best buy's i ever made..and to think i was considering getting a boat instead...i can always get one of those later...but for now i LOVE cruising the streets and hugging the curves of the wide open road with even just me and my baby (XF)! I find my self just staring at it for Minutes at a time...i even find my self at work; walking all the way to the other side of the building just to peep out the window and stare at my pride and joy!

Man...YOU GOTTA LOVE IT!


B Unique or B Unknown ...

 

I've had a few other sports cars. IMO this is a smart little coupe. I've enjoyed them all, but enjoy the Crossfire the most. It's not a daily driver for me, just for fun and fancy. For the money you can't go wrong.
Yes, I LOVE IT!

 

JW but do you get alot of tickets driving like that? I am doing the same thing so I just wanted to know if I better start saving money for tickets.

 

OK, count me in, maybe we can get a group deal on a lawyer to rep us for all these tickets??

 

I'm in! According to the latest news, this has become a niche area for
lawyers and they seem to have a high success rate. So much so that
at least one area's courts have changed the rules on what is allowable
as a maneuver to get out of a ticket. The lawyer being interviewed as
part of this article stated they had a flat fee of $350 dollars. Though
a ticket may only cost you $100, the hit to your license could cause an
increase in insurance payments or loss of insurance. So, a 3.5x upfront
cost can really save a lot on the backend.

BTW, neither am I immune to the siren song of a roaring engine. I have
been known, and will probably be again, to put my foot to the floor and
not lift off until either the other guy has or he is long behind me. This
has taken me up to 145 mph. I've not yet pushed it to the limit yet, but
13 mph off ain't too bad.

I'm with ya brother, it sounded and felt so gooooood! I got the evil eye from my smarter half so I had to shut it down. But one of these days...

 

Ditto to the first line... I am on the 5th floor in my building, and I can see the car from my boss's window. We BOTH stand and stare at it, and finally today he says, "I think I need to buy a Crossfire."

I can't relate at all to the rest of your post. I haven't reached the grandmother stage yet...this car just wants to go. I struggle to keep within the speed limit. If I just start out and drive, without eyeballing the speedometer, the car will get up to 80 or so (okay 85) before it feels that it is cruising. My 300M feels "settled" at 70. And my wife's Sebring convertible prefers 60. When I got my first speeding ticket in decades I was rolling at 69 in a 55, and it felt like I was holding her back. I can't wait to hit a safe space to run her up way over 100 MPH.

 

I agree! I absolutely love this car! Five months and 10k miles!

 

Proud owner for 4 weeks now, just over 1,100 miles on it ... and I too am enjoying my XF immensely. I often volunteer to go to the store for odds and ends just to drive it. It is my daily driver and the solid feel I have behind the wheel out surpasses any other vehicle I've driven before. I use to have a 1966 MGB with wire spoke rims with the spinner knockoffs and removable hardtop, that thing got heads turning but man oh man do the heads turn when I pull out in my XF. I'm not too far from 3 racetracks here in town and I've seen Ferraris, Lambos, Lotus' , Porches etc but have only seen one other XF on the road.

Enjoy it ... it's worth it.

 

I am the wife of the man who loves this car, and I have never "loved" a car before, and I LOVE this car. He is right, it is the nicest car we have ever owned.

 

Everything everyone said is all true, you've gotta love this car! When I walk out of work for a quick smoke and take a quick look at the Crossfire to brighten my night up just alittle and see the customers that I just waited on drooling allover my car. It just makes my chuckle.
