I love this car!!! - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
By carjunkie66 - October 22 - 7:01 pmFor the pice this has been a dependable Gunnar to drive. Nothing ever goes wrong with it. It is very peppy, handles well and gets folks to look at you when you drive by. Oil changes are a little high, but you only need to get one or two per year. I would recommend this car to any that are looking for a reasonably priced "fun" car that will cost little in maintenance

Fun and rare, but buyer beware. - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
By boeroboy - March 23 - 10:59 amBasically an affordable variation on the Mercedes SLK. Fun to drive with top down on a nice summer day. Six speed manual is smooth, but could be geared a little better for fuel (gear 6 in the manual is actually lower than gear 5 in the auto for some sad reason). Fuel economy in my experience is 28-34 mpg. Just beware that most "Chrysler" parts in this vehicle are just Mercedes parts with a Chrysler sticker and a massive markup. Remember the Crossfire was a lovechild of Daimler/Chrysler and is no longer made. If you buy one, be sure to join the Crossfire owner club/forum for help since most dealers dont remember what to do for Crossfire service besides take your money.

Fun little guy - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
By Alex - December 1 - 10:37 pmSince my first time i saw i felt in love with it, shopped around and got it finally, once having it its been fun everytime i get on the wheel, it runs and looks great. I loved the stereo, dropping the top down and running it fast, it has some good handling and acceleration..eh, average. I think you shouldnt own it if youre taller than 59 though, because space is limited. Parts are hard to find and expencive.

Incredible car - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
By Jaybird777 - November 11 - 1:48 pmThis car has unbelievable power. Power off the line is tremendous, and faster than most other cars on the road. But on the highway, this car is a madman. At 80 mph on the highway, punch it and you better hold on, and thats no exaggeration. It is scary fast. Muscle car fast. Quality is also superb. As other reviewers have stated, the car leaves you with no doubt that it is a high end Mercedes. If you can find one, buy it now- they are silly cheap for what you get. These will be collectors items- there is no doubt in my mind. But, theyll have to wrestle it away from me! Some say the ride is bad- I disagree. Its a sports car. Ride is really pretty great. Worth every dime.

Lemon - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
By Sue Martinez - August 16 - 4:47 pmPurchased new 07/06. Two months ago transmission seals had to be replaced, but it was under warranty which expired 07/06/09. 08/06/09 @ 26,000 miles key did not work, AAA could not start the car and it was towed in - "brain" dead and a lobotomy required. As warranty had run out I was quoted total of $4700 for computer replacement. It took a week to get the parts, and now Chryslers computer system is down so it cant be programmed. Also being charged $190 for second key. Good news is that now it is partially covered by warranty but my cost is still over $1500. Not happy.

my crossfire - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
By crossfire roadster - June 23 - 1:33 pmThe crossfire is very enjoyable to drive. yes it could use more low end torque. the seats could be a little more comfortable. The car is very responsive while driving. the problem i have found is that it is so new that even the dealership cannot service it correctly. they have not figured out the computer download to some of the features.

MY TOY - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
By RON - May 7 - 3:37 pmI bought this just for a summer toy. Its a blast to drvie and I get (nice car) everytime Im out. People always stop to stare. I have got over 30mpg at times. It has only has 16000 miles on it and not one problem. It rides a little rough but we dont have the best roads in Ohio. The 19" wheels and low pro tires makes cornering fantastic. The interior is a little tight but Im 6ft and 215 lbs. Probably a little large for any two seater. But it was affordable and with the top down,its just as desirable as any other 2-seat sports car out there.

Oh my... - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
By jbjtkbw00 - June 17 - 5:20 amWhile 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!!!
