I purchased my Crossfire in May. It is able to drive for everyday use but only for the riches, because the fuel consumption is less more than 17 L/100 km.
she's a beauty...

I am constantly being stopped in parking lots and people are commenting on my car..of course the muscle head mustangers all wanna race, the ride is fabulous...smooth, corners well quick off the line and terrific acceleration. Nav system has come in handy several times, some problems with the contrast on the radio, but that's not Chryslers problem...Have done full family grocery shopping (top up of course) and weekends away top down, once you learn to pack the car you do fine...if you can manage with a two seater and are looking for a fun car that looks great and doesn't feel like metal rollerskates....it's a great value!!!! I love it!

I have had this car nearly 6 months and have never had a more pleasurable driving experience. I live in Atlanta, GA where the weather is perfect for convertible driving. I have the top down going to and coming from work, no matter what the temperature. If it's cold... oh those heated seats! If it's hot, and it has been this summer, who cares, I haven't. The styling, the handling, the looks from other drivers... this car turns heads. The comments and compliments have never stopped. Driving it has been beyond fun, it's been life-enhancing. Why don't more people drive convertibles? I'm 65 years old and I've never felt younger. Did I mention the racy growl this car has? It's beautiful.

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

I have a srt-6 roadster in graphite and never get tired of the look of this car. The lines are amazing and its fast. The interior is comfortable and user friendly. It never fails to turn heads including mb owners on a regular basis. When the top is down i've had people shout great car and give a thumbs up, people crossing streets have stopped and commented that's a beautiful car. I looked at the mb slk and amg but went for the crossfire, the engine is mb assembled in the same german plant and i preferred the body lines to an emblem.

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 don't see enough of them to be able to easily solve problems. Negotiate tough...this is not a car that everyone wants.

we just bought our crossfire. SO far so good,, we LUV it, its a fun car to drive and you get alot of looks in it,, its just a sharp looking little sports car, plenty of leg room. its great having the top down. the top is easy to put down also. the only thing i dont like is when the top is up u do have a bad blind spot so you do have to be careful. not sure if a person taller than 6-5 would like it,, my son is 6-4 and the top of the windsheild is at his eye level.its just an all around nice car
Fun!

I really enjoy the car.It has all the power necessary, makes great noises,and has very comfortable seats. I am amazed by the gas mileage. I get 26mph in a mix of city and highway on 87 octane. I think a little more money spent on shocks would be well spent.They are a little more harsh than they need to be. The steering is also not up to normal German standards but all in all a great car for not a lot of money.

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!

I just got a 2005 Limited Coupe after searching car dealers for 6 months for the "right car". I looked at BMW 3 Series Coupe, Mini Cooper S Conv, Caddy CTS, Corvette, G35 Coupe, 350Z and Boxster. With the rebates, the Crossfire had the right mix of price, comfort, sporty (always wanted a 2 seater), insurance cost, gas mileage, power and off course, handling. It gets almost as many looks and questions as my PT Cruiser did when it was new. The car rides great, my wife and I actually slept in the passenger's side during our trip to Florida when we switched off driving. The crisp handling saved our life by avoiding a vehicle that cut in front of us on interstate road construction.

My husband surprised me with this yellow crossfire convertible..which I love. It is the perfect size, has great speed, is fun to drive, and I get many compliments as well as inquiries about it. We plan to pay it off and it is a keeper. I like how it handles, the gas mileage is great..and we have taken it on some fun trips.

Great car to drive! But, I get challenged by every teenager with a grand prix at every light. The cup holder and some of the other interior are a bit cheeply made. I bought it and drove from MI to CA and loved the drive. That drive through the mountains was fantastic!!If the interior had some better quality I would give it a 10 across the board! ( with a bit more under the hood) V8 in the near future?

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.

I love my CrossFire, but it has been in the shop four times now for the transmission. It pops out of first gear. Not all the time, about every 100-200 miles it will just pop out. Everytime I take it in, the dealership try's to tinker with something else. IT would be easier to just replace the transmission. Now im' told "Star" has no more sugestions since there unable to duplicate the problem. So I paid $39k for a car that pops out of gear. All I can do now is take legal action for Chrysler to fix/replace/buy back the car. If you have a choice, buy the automatic. I know it's not as much fun. I plan on buying an automatic once this gets resolved.

If you're married, over 40, have arthritis, have kids, or ever buy anything at a mall - you should probably just forget this car. I am actually quite shocked how sharp and unforgiving a blade this car is for a CHRYSLER product!!! Expansion joints in my neighbourhood cause the CD to skip. Getting into the car is best left to 18 year olds whose joints are still made out of rubber bands. All that being said, this car actually generates more envy and loathing and stares than my 1987 Lemonengelb (lemon yellow) Porsche 944S did. I love it beyond measure!!!

Great Manueverability, fun and sporty, this is a great car to drive. I get questions and receive comments from other people all the time. There is only one thing I would change and that is the cup holder, it is not driver friendly and has broken once already. Otherwise it is a great investment.

The 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.

Awesome car from a first impression standpoint, as well as from a quality ride. Great modern appointments on the interior, reasonable trunk space (under hatchback) and my Limited Edition even comes with luggage! Daimler really set the bar high for this collaboration. A real pleaser - through and through.

Bought my Crossfire Limited Roadster a few months ago. Car had 13,000 miles and cost 17,600.00 after a little haggling. My old car was a 1997 Mazda Miata. What a difference. The Crossfire looks better, rides better, gets good gas mileage and could blow the doors off the Miata. Can't wait til spring. It's cold and slippery here in the great white north. Crossfires are not winter cars.

My 2004 Crossfire is both fun to drive and quite economical providing me with 26MPG and incredible performance. This two seater is also a head turner and I am constantly getting thumbs ups and questions about the car. The Crossfire is built at the Karman plan by Mercedes and sold in the USA by Chrysler. The six speed manual is crisp and short throw make it a joy to drive. The brakes are excellent.

I've been searching for a toy car for over a year that my wife and I could use to enjoy the backroads of Colorado. There are many excellent machines out there, but all contenders were dismissed as "too" harsh, cramped expensive, etc.. The srt-6 roadster was the best fit with our needs. Comfortable, sufficeint space and plenty sporty. We got a great deal by bringing prices of vehicles that have sold on eBay and those listed in cars.com. We negotiated up from these prices rather than down from list. A phenomenal backroad car that I would highly recommend.

Alot of people tell me when they see me in public that it is a sleak or sporty looking car and ask me what it is I tell them a Crossfire and usually give a little show of rubber burn on my way out just to show it has power to go with looks.

This is an awesome automobile. Great looks and quicker than lightning. I give the interior design a 9 due to having only a single cup holder. A manual transmission and a little more chrome would be nice. On the whole, an impressive piece of work. I have not been disappointed.

It's close to get into for a 225 lb. 6' 1" body but once I'm belted in I love it. Interior looks like and feels like and smells like and handles like and if you pop the hood you would see that german auto company stickers all over the place,You might think its an SLK. I think I saved a big chunk a' change when My grandson inherited my 2000 mustang convertible,upon graduation from high shool, And we replaced it with the Crossfire.He received a completly updated 5-speed Ford with 30,000 mi. I received the best part of the deal I think. We are both happy

I got my dealer's first Roadster and I love it! The exterior styling is awesome, and is fun all around. The look with the top down is classic and clean. The convertible top is done much better than the Viper which is twice the price. Nice gauges and quality sound system. I would like more horsepower though. At 215hp, its less than I'm accustomed to in my Cadillac CTS (also a fabulous car!). Speed lines on the hood are a great touch, as well as the 18" front and 19" rear wheels. Better rear visibility with the top up than the coupe version of this car. Great trunk space with the top up, and plenty of room for groceries with the top down.
Excellent car

My husband and I waited since last yr for this convertible. Absolutely love it!! Very fun to drive, great handling. We have had people follow us to take a closer look. The kids think it's cool because we have had lots of honks and whistles. This is a great "us" car...no french fries, happy meals, softball equipment, etc. Others with convertibles have remarked about the hideaway top when it goes down. Trunk space is minimal when the top is down but hey..who cares!! Less clothes to take for those fun weekend getaways!!

Roadsters are for FUN, period. I've owned MGs, a Miata, and have driven a dozen other ragtops,and the Crossfire is the most FUN of them all. As Crossfire demand slackened, I got a screaming deal on a barely used 6 speed Limited Roadster, and I still have to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming. It's as if a Cadillac had a drunken fling with a Boxter, and the result is this precision German machine wearing a rodeo belt buckle. Great handling, great top mechanism, great stereo, great aesthetics. A keeper.

This is one of the finest vehicle I have owned or driven in my life-and 30+ years of owning vehicles. She is a comfortable and cute little princess with great handling around town or on the Interstate. She is a real head turner and has one flaw-the steering wheel only telescopes and does not adjust up or down. Alas, she is a joy to be enveloped in and experience the drive/ride!

I had the opportunity to lease one since I have a family member that works for Chrysler. I absolutely love it. The best part is, I'm only 20. When I first got it, I got nothing but compliments. People were always asking me about it. I actually talked to a guy for a half an hour about it since he had just gotten one too. Being 6'2" made it a little hard to get used to, but now I have no problem sitting in it. My brother and I, both of whom are the same height, can fit in it no problem. Defenitely worth it. It's my everyday car and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I have had this vehicle since October of 2004. It is quick, responsive and reliable. A solid feel throughout the cabin-true Mercedes-Benz quality. Also, everyone wants to know what kind of car it is--For a day running errands, an average of four people comment on it somehow. But dont worry, they're always good comments, of course.

I cannot drive this vehicle without having people stare, stop, and ask me what it is. The ergonomics are fantastic, and I disagree with some of the interior reviews that I have read. The leather seats are right out of a Mercedes, and the dashboard is tight and without rattles (trust me I previously owned a Mustang Cobra). I miss the lower end torque of the Mustang, however at 130 + mph I would rather be in the Crossfire.

In general the design, style, ride, handling and comfort are A+. Performance bespeaks the heavy structural members of the SLK rather than a light zippy street machine. Hence the image experienced by the driver is that of owning a Mercedes under an incredibly innovative Chrylser-designed skin. Just right for babyboomer trendsetters whose nest is now empty and can therefore afford a moderately-expensive roadster.

This is a Mercedes Benz, in Karmann built, Chrysler clothing. The car looks fantastic, drives beautifully and is one of the best built cars I've owned. The interior materials feel first rate and the convertible top mechanism looks like mechanical ballet going up and down. So far there is nothing I don't like about the car. It is a steal at current market prices. Not a sports car to compete with Corvettes or Porsches on performance but a beautiful, open top, comfortable cruiser to compete or exceed them on all other levels most especially price.
