  • Love this car - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    I have owned my Crossfire convertible for 3 1/2 years and still love to drive it. The only drawback is first gear on the manual transmission which is way too low. From second gear on up it runs strong. The original Continental tires drum and hum right around 17- 20 mph. and OK after that. I have had them trued and rebalanced which helped for a short while. They will soon be replaced with a different top name manufacturer. Gonna keep cruising with the top down!

    For the price and what you get, this is hands down the best-bargain 2 seater luxury coupe on the market. For $26,000 or less you get a mercedes in mercedes clothing. You will either love or hate this car. I love it. You might too. Definitely take it for a test drive. Warning: More likely than not, youll end up buying the car after the test- drive.

    love the car, have issues with the service department with the company i bought it from. there was a puncture in the drivers seat when i bought it.they said they would fix it but have not heard from them. it runs a little ruff at stop lights while in idle. and still have not heard from the leasing dept. for any of my payments. which is coming up fast. i need to know where to send my payment!!!

    This car is beautiful. Guaranteed to make heads turn. Glad I bought this one and not the Z or the Rx8 or the TT. Like driving a mercedes. lots of power on demand. Stiff ride, like a porsche (been in that one a lot , this feels stiffer, honestly. The car sticks like nothing I ever drove. All in all, a perfect machine.

  • A great sports car - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    I bought this car 2 years old with 3000 miles on it for half of the sticker. I was looking at used corvettes. I couldnt be more pleased with the purchase. It out accelerates 99% of the all cars on the road, looks incredible and gets decent gas mileage. I would have preferred a manual transmission but the Mercedes 5 speed tap shift auto is excellent. Handles great. Only downside is a stiff ride over bad pavement. As long as the road is decent it is not an issue. I plan to keep it a long time. I have yet to see another Crossfire srt-6 in over a year of ownership, and have only seen a total of 2 or 3 Crossfires on the road in that time. I love that exclusiveness.

  • Love it - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire

    Ive had a BMW Z3, which was a blast to drive. The Crossfire is not at the same level as the Z3, but it is great fun, and such an unique design. Definitely NOT just another boring plain vanilla that makes up the bulk of cars on the road. Plus, because the basic chassis & engine is from Mercedes (when they were still married to Chrysler), it drives solid as can be. Wife likes the auto transmission, and I love the fact that I can use it as a manual whenever I want to. And the "trunk" is way bigger than most roadsters out there.

  • Awesome to drive - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    This car is a blast. Ive had it for almost 3 yrs, no major problems. Had to replace the tires as needed - those were pretty pricey. Gas economy is acceptable for its pickup and speed. I get more compliments on its appearance. Im very impressed w/ its storage capacity. I live in Florida and love the a/c system in it...cools down FAST! I was specifically looking for a 2-seater now that the kids are driving and this has been a stellar purchase. In hindsight, I should have gotten the standard shift which would have made it that much more fun to drive. I dont like using the "pseudo-shifting"...Im just to used to a clutch!!

  • Oh my... - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    While not my first two seater (Ive had to very fun to drive Honda CRXs), this is definitely the most fun and quickest that Ive ever owned. Yes, Im a new owner, but Ive put a few hundred miles on it in just over 24 hours because I just had to drive it all over Orlando. This car turns heads and gets me the looks. The lines are so smooth on this car and anyone that appreciates the classics should love the trim on this baby. The engine has a low lions growl to it. Not as storng as a Viper, but its right there. Tight on corners and quick from the stoplight. I hope to return to update this review in a few months. Dont miss out on this car!!!
