  • Bang for the Buck - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    One of the biggest complaints about this car has been a result of the competition which surrounds it in that mid $30,000 price bracket. You have BMW coupes, the 350Z, the G35 coupe, the S2000, to name a few. And those cars are phenomenal in their own rights. But I got my Crossfire for about $20,000, and it wasnt even a year old. And be fair, which of these cars looks the most exotic? I think that as good as the other cars look, the Crossfire is in a different class. And it is fast enough. The Mercedes 3.2L motor thats under the hood is low on BHP, but it has a fat torque curve that really starts stomping at 3000 rpms. 6.1 0-60 seems good. And the exhaust note!

    This car is a eye turner, and it performs just as good as it looks. The cup holder is a waste, needs a better location

  • Was Good While It Lasted - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire

    Very nice car for the money. Ok, the negatives.. the top did not disengage easily. Once I found just the right way to turn the handle, it worked like a charm. Cruise control lever gets in the way of turn signals. Also when using cruise control it does not keep the same speed when going up hills. Needs premium fuel so make sure you have plenty of cash. Although a summer car, it was not bad in snow with the traction control and antilock breaks especially in the mountains of VA. Very nice pick up for the base V6. I am sure the SRT-6 would be radically faster. I also like the speed shift automatic. It gives more pickup faster when engaged... just make sure you remember to change gears!

    it is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. It sure is a crowd pleaser. Everywhere you go people go out of their way to see what kind of car it is.Im very, very happy with the car.

    I have the SRT6 version but couldnt find another way to post. Due to the power to weigh ratio, this is one of the fastest cars on the road without paying 85k. Supercharger awakenings the 3.2 from Mercedes. Destroys anything under 85k and some over that price. Interior a little cramped and gas mileage is not great but who cares, this car is an animal. Great second car. A cruising speeds very docile but with just a hint of gas and your going over 100mph. Great car

    With only 12,000 of the 20,000 made each year in Germany imported to the US, you really get the looks on the road! Love the handling, quiet interior and quality feel of this car. Great suspension for a sports car.

    Just came back from 2200 mi road trip and just loved the performance. Seating was very comfortable with wind blowing thru hair.

  • Beautiful, Unique, FUN! - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    Ever since it first came out I loved the styling. I feel its one of the most beautiful new cars (less than $60k)out there. The styling is a dash of retro without being a clone of some previous design. Its not configured as a strict performance car, but that makes the ride very smooth. Though the horsepower isnt that impressive compared to simlarly priced cars, when you want it to go it does! Its all the power I need living in crowded MD.

  • Expensive fun - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    Gets lots of attention on the road but for a price! Fuel/oil costs are significant for such a small car. Warranty work is a bit of a hassle since most small-town dealerships dont see enough of them to be able to easily solve problems. Negotiate tough...this is not a car that everyone wants.
