Felt-X City 3 opinions?

I know it's an "older" model, but does anyone have a pro/con opinion on the Felt X-City 3?

I've been able to locate one in my size for a decent price.

Tried search on this one but it was not my friend

Looks nice. 3 speed doesn't give you a lot of gear options but if you are mainly on flat ground that shouldn't be an issue. It looks like there are no rack or fender mounts which could be problematic for a commuter bike.

UGH - didn't notice that it was "only" 3 speeds. I would get an 8 Speed Felt X-City 1 if I could locate it, which unfortunately I have not been able to....

That looks like a better, although more expensive, option. Eyelets for rack and fenders are there as well.

I have a 2009 X-City D, and I love it. Mine is 8 speed derailleur, single front chainring, and it has rack and fender mounts (and has them mounted). Very comfortable ride. Very nice bike.

Still looking for a Felt X-City 1 in a 52 or an X-City D, holler in you know of one around. Thanks for the feedback!
