Default Sell Crossfire? Buy 350Z?

I currently drive a crossfire and I am thinking about selling it and buying a Z. Do you think this is a good move?

I say bull. If you wanted a 350Z you would have bought one.

There are several reasons why I am considering making a change. The main reason for me is lack of knowledge about this car. It is really hard to find certified techs even when you have to go to a Chrysler dealership with issues covered under warranty.

Sell the Crossfire immediately, then buy whatever you want (something that doesn't suck, preferably).

Members have had similar experiences with the 350Z.

Test drive a Z. Preferably an 07~08 grand touring. You won't need to ask anymore.

since nobody said it already, I'll say it. Just buy a 370z when they come out next year. 350z's are old and "out dated".

Tom,

I drove the Crossfire (and a few other cars) many times before I settled on the 350Z. The Nissan has more room, better performance, and more sex appeal.

Test drive one for a decent amount of time, you'll see what we all know.

My main complaint about the Crossfire was it's limited headroom and overall interior design.

(I also own a 300C BTW).

I did look into them before buying the Z...these were my observations having driven them both. I say go for the switch...but this is only if you want a sportscar....to me the Z is a real sportscar. (even the coupes)...the Crossfire is a mutant. steering feels like its out of a family sedan (for good reason). handling is ok-ish. acceleration is acceptable, and braking is marginal.

but you already know that since you own one.

I like how you emphasise that even the coupes are sports cars, what the hell is that suppose to mean? Are there some occasions where the convertible version of a car is a sportscar and the coupe version isnt?

it's one of those terms that are loosely defined and classified by people in entirely different ways. don't hurt your brain.
