What a Car!

2006 Chrysler Crossfire Limited 2dr Convertible (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Review

The car is fun to drive. The power for such a sample car is unbelievable. The gas mileage is reasonable and the craftsmanship is outstanding. Some of the problems is that it only has one cup holder in the cabin. Also when getting the oil changed, if you don't do it yourself, be ready for a shock. The filter is $31.00. The engine takes 8.5 quarts of 0 W 40 which is not cheap. So the total cost for a change will run between $110 to $120. But the enjoyment of the car is well worth the price.

Favorite Features

Six speed transmission Interior and exterior craftsmanship Gas mileage

Suggested Improvements

More cup holders More head room

Beautiful Styling & a Great Ride

Review

Bought the car last summer on a whim, $14k off the sticker price helps, right? The car is great once you get it out of first gear (they should have combined 1st and 2nd, you have to shift too quickly), has styling that gets a "Nice car!" at least once a day, and has gas mileage that is much better than I was expecting of around 22-24 mpg.

Favorite Features

Convertible, great looks, mostly comfortable seats.

Suggested Improvements

0 cup holders, add some! Uncomfortable where my elbows go on the door side. Trunk space will barely hold 2 backpacks when the top is down.

2006 Crossfire

2006 Chrysler Crossfire 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Excellent car for a two seater. Get a seat cushion for long trips if your back end is bony like mine. Use high-heel gel pads for your elbows (at the obvious places). I looked at lots of this type of car... wouldn't have anything else.

Favorite Features

The pop-up airfoil is too cute. It has a great line.

Suggested Improvements

Sorry to see them stop building them.

Kim's dream realized

Review

I began my quest for a sports car in the fall of 07 and was sold and ready to buy a Saturn Sky when a friend suggested that I give the Crossfire a try Thank God for suggestions, the car is such a great ride. Driving this car is like becoming part of the vehicle, you become one with the seat and thus the car itself. I am so glad I found this vehicle. The car is a brand new 2006 with 13 miles on it and I have only had it for 2 weeks but the car is sexy, curvy,sleek and so retro in design. I love this car and I absolutely love driving it. It is a true head turner. Thanks for the dream come true.

Favorite Features

Manual six speed transmission, heated power seats, so nice on the cool mornings Sexy, cocky, look of the exterior design great lighting design Crossfire gear is very nice plus for travel Thanks Chrysler.

Suggested Improvements

Improve the quality of the dash/console, maybe use same brushed metal as in the door handles for the console or wood grain type material,but really needs dash upgrade current one is cheap looking

Crossfire Roadster

Review

Was looking for a two seater sports car and considered Z-4, Miata, and similar cars. In my opinion, Crossfire is by far more top tend than Miata, cooler then Z-4 and others. I drive this car to work, 24 miles a day, and love it. Head turner for sure, glued to the road, great average full economy of 24 mpg, and drives like it looks. Great value.

Favorite Features

Ride for small car, good gas mileage 24 mpg in real life. Just fun to drive.

Suggested Improvements

Blind spots are problem, and getting into and out of requires some effort for older person.

This car is fun to drive and absolutely beautiful to look at. I feel like a million bucks behind the wheel.

Favorite Features

The exterior is gorgeous, and I like the retractable wing.

Suggested Improvements

None. Expect a smaller car and no expectation will not be met.

Review

Coming up on a year with this car, and have had nothing but good experiences. No glitches, just a nice commuter vehicle for my wife and I. Very nimble, and fast enough to suit me-the numbers suggest it will accelerate as fast as my old '89 Trans Am, but I'm out of the "rat race". Tires are still in very good shape, and just 2 oil changes for maintenance. A few negs-the seat is probably better in the Limited model, so maybe a retro fit is in order-this one generates complaints from my lovely wife of 31 years. And the radio is annoying. As we know now, the car has been killed by the new Chrysler. I guess a notchback version with a removeable window is out of the questions now, eh?

Favorite Features

The "countdown to service" indicator takes the guesswork out of wondering when to change the 8 quarts of oil in this crankcase-a great feature for aging codgers like myself.

Suggested Improvements

A better seat, a better radio, standard fog lights and TPMS

What a deal

2006 Chrysler Crossfire 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I bought this on a whim when I was looking for a Mazda 3 wagon a year ago. The $19k price tag was a deal maker. Driving it is a treat and I'm still impressed with its handling, braking and looks. The 6 speed manual taps the power in the engine efficiently and it feels great to be pressed back into the seat upon acceleration. The only drawback is that is does not go up icy hills well so it's garaged when it snows. My 6'3" tall husband cannot strech his legs out straight, but he is very willing to make the sacrafice. Cargo area is plentiful for everyday and weekend jaunts. I swore I would never own a Chrysler product but this is the best car I've ever had.

Favorite Features

Looks, handling on winding roads, and acceleration

Suggested Improvements

A cup holder, better buttons

Review

I've had this blaze red baby for 8 months now, and I can't wait for the warm weather to come back so that I can drop the top again! This car is the most fun to drive vehicle I've ever owned! It turns heads everywhere I go. Great craftsmanship and handling. I hate to see Chrysler stop building them.

Favorite Features

Soft top, great looks and awesome handling.

Suggested Improvements

Would be nice to have a cupholder or two!
