This is basically a stripped down Mercedes SLK 320. Not all dealers service this car, so check with Chrysler dealerships first. A Great car that does 1g. on the skidpad!

Stevie Ray Vaughan would love this car

Caught in the Crossfire... those words have been playing repeatedly along with the heavily blues laden guitar riffs of the great Stevie Ray Vaughan. I bought this car to replace a well worn Toyota Highlander. I wanted something fun to drive and a C5 or C6 Corvette was just out of range for my cash on hand. I happily stumbled across a 2004 Crossfire in Amethyst Silver metallic and fell in love immediately. She used to be somebody's baby, and was turned out of her warm garage into the harsh desert sun for unknown shortcomings. They must have just fallen out of love, hey, it happens. She was dirty, her boot filled with the random flotsam and jetsam of life including uncashed checks and dirty socks. A few hours of derailed cleaning, a good scrubbing, and she was shining like a diamond in a goats ass. She just needed someone to love her again and she has responded accordingly. This car is truly a blast to drive. The 6 speed transmission is easy to work, clutch throw and pressure are exactly right on and the cockpit is laid out finer than your church clothes on a Saturday night. It is my first German car I have ever owned and it just makes sense, frightening really how much it makes sense. The only drawback I have discovered this far is my golf clubs do not fit in the boot. I have not come up with a solution, I'm considering building a small trailer that looks like mini Crossfire that would hold my clubs, cool and functional. I am averaging 25.8 mpg with the a/c on full blast, and a couple of quick jaunts at just over the speed limit. I do recommend using the cruise control on the highway, it is way too easy to lose yourself in the guitar riffs coming out of the speakers and allow your right foot to rest heavily on the responsive accelerator. Day by day,night after night, Blinded by the neon lights. Hurry here, hustlin' there, No one's got the time to spare. Money's tight, nothin' free, Won't somebody come and rescue me? I am stranded, caught in the crossfire Stranded, caught in the crossfire. Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye. Sell your soul just to buy, buy, buy. Beggin' a dollar, stealin' a dime, Come on can't you see that I I am stranded ,caught in the crossfire I am stranded, caught in the crossfire. I need some kind of kindness, some kind of sympathy oh, no We're stranded, caught in the crossfire Save the strong lose the weak, Never turning the other cheek. Trust nobody don't be no fool, Whatever happened to the golden rule? We got stranded, caught in the crossfire We got stranded, caught in the crossfire We got stranded, caught in the crossfire

Traded in my Jaguar for Crossfire!

I bought this car and traded in my leased Jaguar 4 months early! I was debating between a BWM z4 or the crossfire. I am sooo happy with my choice. The car is great from looks to driving. I get a lot of comments and looks. The top down makes this car look like a million dollars. In fact, most people who ask what kind of car it is ask "did you pay about $50k?" I plan on keeping this one a long time.

Great car! Fun to drive with top down and enjoy the ride. Car is very fast and has a nice tight feel to the road. I get stopped wherever I go and people ask to take a closer look. Always look forward to by next journey with my Crossfire.

Fantastic Purchase

I was concerned when buying this car about the space issue, being 6'2, but I found that since I drive by myself, it hasn't been a problem. I love the way the car looks and even getting compliments in car crazy LA. The performance is more than adequate for city driving, and the car feels like a tank on the freeways. The seats in the car are superb, and the stereo begs to be turned up even louder. The manual tranny is very slick, despite reading negative reviews from various sources. I haven't put too many miles on the car yet, but with a tick over 4,000, the car feels very solid, no rattles or issues. The air conditioning works extremely well, and the heated seats are a nice touch!
