  • Just right for me and my family - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    We purchased this Crossfire for the sheer love of the design. The classic yellow is a serious head turner. We truly appreciate the bold body style and hope the other manufacturers follow this designers love for beauty. It is incredibly fun to drive and is fast enough for us and anyone else on the road. Yes the trunk has plenty of room for a family of four grocery shopping trip or 2 medium size suitcases if you plan taking a trip to the hotel on the beach.

  • Awesome ride - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire

    Most fun a person can have on four wheels, legally.Wife plans on keeping forever. Wife doesnnt want to go to work she just wants to ride around with top down all the time. Says she will never be without a convertible. She loves her car, loves her house, and loves her man, I think in that order too. Will be hard to beat this Christmas present.

    The Crossfire may be cute and look fun, but underneath the hood there is a significant lack of torque, and inside, the seats are just short of back breaking. I bought the car with 5,600 miles on it and was told the woman who traded it in had a bad back. Now I do too. I had a Nissan 350Z and there is absolutely no comparison between the two cars in performance or comfort. The trunk is useless too. Opening is so narrow its difficult to get anything larger than a shoebox in. Ive also had to have two new stereos put in because of the skipping CD player. Get a Z.

  • Great Car - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire

    After reading the reviews posted here, I started to consider the purchase of this car. I already had money down on a Porsche Boxster, but figured it wouldnt hurt to peruse the Chrysler dealership. To see the car in person was impressive, to test drive the car was awesome. Granted, its no track ready, street legal sports car, but that is not what I was looking for. Its fun to drive, handles like a dream, and corners on rails. Needless to say, I cancelled my Porsche order, bought a Crossfire and have been loving every minute of it. This is not a daily driver, but could manage the task just fine.

  • A Great Car for the $$$ - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    This vehicle is a replacement for my 2004 Crossfire Coupe, which was a fine car but underpowered. That is not a problem with the SRT-6 with silky- smooth 330 BHP supercharged V6 - Daimler/Chrysler should have kept the AMG nameplate on the engine. The car is really quick and, because of the suspension and braking upgrades, handles much better than the conventional Crossfire. I was worried about the "rough ride" described by numerous reviewers, but have not found that to be the case. Overall, a great car for the price ($29k - brand new).

  • I still love it 3 yrs later - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    My 3 year lease is coming due and I STILL LOVE THIS CAR. Ive been looking at reviews on other sites and this car is getting a bad rap for lack of power. I dont know where you drive, but high speed and power arent the values needed on main roads. Its is comfort and performance and most of all, THIS CAR STILL TURNS THE HEADS OF EVERYONE 3 YEARS LATER! Corvettes and Zs are normal cars, the Crossfire Roadster is still an eye opener. Just a note, it definitely isnt made for people over 6 ft.

  • Exotic European GT, Hyundai price... - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    My Sapphire Blue coupe had just come off its 1-year lease when I purchased it. It had 9,500 miles and cost $20,650. I drove it home to Texas from Miami, averaging about 27 MPG and 80 MPH. On the deserted Everglades Tollway I ran it up to 148 before shutting down. If I had another mile of road it would have broken 150. Stable as an arrow, and the delightfully furious muted exhaust tone was music in my ears. I have enjoyed every moment Ive spent in the car. It is the closest I will ever come to a 62 Ferrari 250 SWB Berlinetta in this life. Maybe this is close enough...

    for two passengers its the most fun you can have for your buck . Bystanders think its an Italian exotic ,sure its german technology ok and build but only AMERICA designs bodies that we dream about pretty soon the Japanese will start copying it the big / long nose short back classic sports coupe reminds me of another classic , oh yeah the ford mustang the crossfire has got more mustang heart than the latest mustang (re modeled 1967 ) hey and im a ford fanatic. you can say its really a SLK merc, using bits that were for the scrap pile, or just a product of a necessary marriage, between a European brand and a American giant (we would like to forget chryslers 70,s and 80,s efforts) its right.

    Comfortable/quite ride, Good handling, Well designed & built, More than adequate performance, Interior well laid-out with ample storage and plenty of room for two. Fuel consumption is good considering displacement & HP. Lots of features for a base model. Attractive unique styling. A lot of vehicle for the purchase price. Well satisfied thus far with all aspects.
