This car is fun to drive it's a real head turner when ever we drive it someone always comes up to look at the car or asks what it is. I even had a guy get out at a stop light and ask where we got it.

My experience has been great. Well-designed for someone under 6 Feet tall. Very sleek and sexy. Definitely an eye catcher. Good speed. Lots of space in trunk.

We have had this car for only three months but absolutely LOVE it!. It handles like a dream and it's very easy to operate the power roof. Recommend it to anyone!

I love my crossfire!! It is so beautiful, I enjoy looking at it everytime I get in to drive it. The steering is ultra precise, the interior surfaces are cutting-edge, and the controls are thoughtfully placed! Not to mention the excellent brakes which have reacted well when I needed them to! Good Job Chrysler!

I bought the car because it offers good value for the performance and reliability that comes from the Mercedez Benz pedigree. I love the car because, beyond the technology and engineering, it is fun to drive and hassle-free! And at 6 ft tall and 175 lbs, I've never encountered any issues with the interior being small!

After reading about this "Spec" model at an auto show in early 2000 or so, I thought....if this ever comes to fruition, I must investigate!! Well, to make a long story short...It did. I investigated. I fell in love. The romance is still going strong!!! I am an older "cool" woman (as my Grandchildren call me) who has always had a love for cars that was instilled in me by my "sonless father"! I was very fortunate and at this point in my life having the time of my life with the Crossfire as a sidekick!! The biggest thrill is the manual handling...making me truly feel a "part" of the whole process. (The quick glances that come my way aren't so bad either!!!! I feel l9 again!!!!!!

I purchased my Graphite Metallic SRT-6 7 mos ago. The plan was to buy the SRT- 6, drive it for a couple of years until the price of a used Cayman S got within my range, then sell it and move into the Porsche. I really underestimated this car! Suspension, handling, acceleration, and build quality have all been tremendous. The more I drive it, the more impressed I am. I'm not clear why the SRT-6 hasn't gotten more positive press. I guess attention has been more focused on the new Vette and Cayman S. With the incentives available on the SRT-6, the price is below $40K, making the SRT-6 a bargain compared to similar performing 2 seat sports cars. Like the title says: A Real Sleeper!!
Love my new Crossfire

The cruise control makes road trips a dream. I went down a 20 mile downgrade and never had to touch the brakes once--the cc just downshifted to keep the speed where set. The only thing required of the driver is steering, the car does the rest! Perfect integration of shape, engine, transmission, tires and braking for a real fun driving experience. Fun to leave everyone behind from a dead stop at a traffic light.

Fabulous handling, built like a rock, stops on a dime, really does 150 mph, seats are terrific if you are under 6 ft.

My last car before this one was a Porsche 911 so I really didn't expect much when I got behind the wheel. But I was very pleasently surprised by the strong, predictable power band, incredible cornering, excellent braking, and styling that never seems to lose its appeal. For a small car, it isn't particularly fuel efficient but apart from that, no complaints.

Going thru second childhood could not be more fun thanks to my crossfire. Every time I stop at the supermarket, gas station etc.. I get people coming up and talking to me about my car and that is very enjoyable for a retired guy.

This car is a blast to drive and to look at. It turns heads every time I drive it. People don't know what it is?? I hardly ever see one on the road. The performance is very good, love the auto stick. Inside is very roomy and I do not feel right up against the other person. Loved the luggage that showed up at our door about a week later, not that I think it will all fit in the trunk. Love the auto top. Takes bumps very well. Love the big wide tires. Sharp looking car!!!

If you own an exotic such as a high end Porsche, criticizing Chrysler for shortcomings in the Crossfire series design is like taking candy from a baby. However, for a fun to drive and great looking car, it is hard to find fault in Chrysler's Crossfire. The x- fire has been fun to drive and own: I am already thinking about adding a roadster to the roster. Good going, Daimler-Chrysler!

I was concerned after a while if I would become tired of the design but after two years, I think this is such a cool car. I have owned Jaguars, Lexus, but nothing htis fun to drive. I really enjoy it. People love to look at it and if they only knew how much fun it was to drive.
Fun,and more Fun!

Fun car to drive it feels like you are on rails glued to the road. Tires 18 inch in front and 19 in rear plus traction control and stability control a big plus. Can't wait to try it out in the mountains in West Virgina! The only complaint is the controls and the way they are laid out they could have done a better job! It is a head turner and if you like attention this is the car for you,every time I take it out it draws a crowd. Most people think it is a German or Japanese car. I love the car take one for a test drive and you will want one! Fun,Fun!

All I can say is WOW!! This is a fantastic car to drive and own. Great performance and handling. Love the convertible top, rear spoiler, heated leather seats. Sure beats the Corvette that I owned. I bought this car used with only 2500 miles on it for only $29K. Best money I ever spent. If you have been looking to buy one, you will not be disappointed!! Chrysler did a fine job with this one!

My wife and I wanted the crossfire because we were in the market for a second sport car. We have cars designed for comfort, this car does what it was designed to do, It's fun to drive. It does it job.

This is the most fun I have had since I drove an SL in the mid 80's. The performance is great, but what do you expect from a car built in Germany. The style is so much better than the SLK, and it's basically the same car. I get compliments and questions about it almost daily. It handles well on the road and gets reasonable gas mileage.
Love my Roadster!

I've loved this car ever since it was introduced during the 2001 Superbowl! This car is the best little convertible I've ever driven! I traded in a Sebring Ltd. for this car and there is no comparison! And the looks I get when driving it just solidify what an awesome car it is!

Great handling on the road, 27.7 miles/gal on trips. 19 mpg in the city if you are conservative in take-a-ways at the lights.

The Crossfire is one beautiful car. I think the design is one of the best ever. I had narrowed by search down to a Crossfire, Thunderbird, or Corvette, but after driving the Thunderbird and pricing the Corvette, the Crossfire was the best choice for driving experience and price. I am happy with my decision. The Crossfire is well built, comfortable, and has a Mercedes feel. No Blah Blah here!
The best car decision I ever made.

This is my first sports car, and I am really glad I purchased this model. I have never had so many people stop me and talk about the car. Great performance on both winding roads and straight out on the highway. I now look forward to the long trips across Northern Nevada. Catch me if you can.

From the minute I saw this car I had to have it. The lines are better than the more expensive european built sports cars. After driving BMW and Porshe this is a step up. Drop the top and enjoy life. Wish they had been available 20 years ago! Buy one now, you won't be disappointed.

She drives like a dream. Hugs the curves and has lots of pick up. I enjoy the sound of the exhaust system. The top raises or lowers in about 22 seconds. Anyone wishing a fun car for nice days would love the roadster.

Our little yellow Crossfire convertible is a joy, in every way. A couple of additional inches between the seat back and rear of driver's cockpit would help taller drivers with entry, and we wish they had improved the ratios a bit for first and second gears (it took a couple of months to learn best rpm's to shift to next higher gear), but other than that, the we wouldn't change anything.

What can I say? I LOVE this car. Quick, nimble, and looks that evoke countless "Nice Car" responses from people of all ages. Not the fastest nor the cheapest of the pack, but it's the one that stands out from the pack in terms of styling alone. Sound system is great. Sounds even better with an aftermarket stereo system and NO distortion at all. Engine is smooth and seats are very comfortable. I'm 5' 3" and have no issues with seating other than the occasional knee room issue if too close. All controls are within reach. Dash is uncluttered and all knobs are simple to use. WARNING...if you don't like conversation, this is NOT the car for you. I would buy this car again (this time a roadster)!

I honestly love my crossfire, I owned a Jetta before this, so I am used to the German drive, but was wanting something different without sacrificing quality, and this is it... I also own an Escalade, and love the American handling, this is the perfect fusion of both. One of the most comfortable interiors as well...
loving it

This car is great. I have had it now for a few months and love everytime i get into it. Can't wait to leave work and put the top down. The cup holder is kinda of useless if u ask me but who cares about that really.

Unbelievable - what a car. Driving a convertible in New England in not a year round sport but I cannot wait for summer. Rides like a dream - great stability, steering, pick up and stopping range. Handles 128 like a charm. Great sound package both quiet (car) and stereo. Turns heads every where I drive.

The car is fantastic. It's been a pleasure to drive and to be seen in. Not one day goes by that someone looks and smiles at the car. This is a whole new experience for me since my other car was a 318i and everybody and his brother has one of those. My only problem was finding out that 19 inch low profile back tires are hard to find replacements for in a hurry.

I have the car and have had in the past BMW, Corvette, TransAm, Audi to name a few, this has been my favorite. The ride is smooth, choppy, no way, drive the Corvette for that. From my experience driving this car it is put together well and is fun to drive, the pick up is good I have had people eat my dust many times, lol. The navigational system works so I don't know what the hell the idiot that said it didn't do or maybe he should learn to read or follow directions, it gets you any where you want to go, I'll prove it to anyone, I have travel just using the system. If you enjoy driving than this is the car to have and my God every where I go heads turn and they all ask what kind if car it is.

the driving of this vehicle is amazing, not only that it's a looker. people often stare and try to figure out what it is. its just a great looking automobile. it rides great and it gets up there very fast. I'm not a very fast driver, but somehow you feel like you're floating. it doesn't hesitate at all. I've owned a few cars and this one is the most fun I've had in a long time.

I have had my Crossfire for 5 months and I love it. It is a head turner,has much more spead than the SUV that I kept for the kids, and is a joy to drive. I have the Aero Blue and there aren't many on the road. There are only 2 things that I don't like. 1-The tires that come with the car are prone to leaks and there is no spare and replacements cost about $1,200. 2-There is only 1 cup holder and it pops up when you rest your elbow on the center console. However--I would buy this car 10x's over if given the choice. Love it

Purchased the crossfire in November and stored it for the winter. I have been enjoying the car for two summers now and wouldn't part with it. Milage is better than estimated with the automatic 24-26 city and 32-34 highway and that's at 70+ top up. Corners unbelievably tight. Complaints are the cup holder(why even bother)and the 2 way adjustable passenger seat. (why not make them the same?) The car is still an eye catcher.

The car itself is awesome. It turns heads everywhere I go. I love the fact that I have a car with so much style. It's a great conversation starter because everyone wants to know more about it. The luggage set received in the mail was a wonderful surprise and it's almost as much fun as the car. While there are a few things that could be improved on, the car is awesome to drive and I would not have picked another convertible in its place.

While not my first two seater (I've had to very fun to drive Honda CRX's), this is definitely the most fun and quickest that I've ever owned. Yes, I'm a new owner, but I've 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 lion's growl to it. Not as storng as a Viper, but it's right there. Tight on corners and quick from the stoplight. I hope to return to update this review in a few months. Don't miss out on this car!!!

I've owned numerous vehicles and I have to say the Crossfire is my favorite. Everytime I've driven it ,heads turn. If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery ,just look at the new cars being offered and you'll notice a striking resemblence to the Crossfire. This was definitely a great purchase !!!!!

This is the 5th car that I have purchased (or leased) from this dealership, and it is the best! When I first heard that I might actually be able to afford a Mercedes Benz with an American nameplate, I ordered my state-issued "Crossfire" personal license plate. The performance is great, the fuel economy is wonderful, and I get excellent service after the sale. Mine is a six-speed, and that adds to the fun. The next stop is Biloxi, Ms, for a weekend of gambling...

I have never driven a car that got so much positive attention whether on the road or just parked.This things got major league "EYES". Driving, this black beauty is quick, agile and extremely well mannered. Not 1 thing has gone wrong in the 10 months I'v been driving it As I'm sure you know this car is a joint project between Chrysler and Mercedes Benz. In conclusion let me add it doesn't handle like a 911 or straight line like a Vette, but for pure fun its lines are superior to anything on the road today, other than an exotic.

This car is sharp! People, men and women both, approach us wherever we go to ask questions about it. They always remark how beautiful it is, and nearly always ask us to trade them vehicles. We don't!! My husband told me that driving the Crossfire made him feel like he was back in his 20's again.

I have been in ownership of my Crossfire for several months now and still enjoy driving it as much now as when new. This car feels and rides very solid. By far the most pleasing to own car I have ever had... except dealings I have had with Chrysler Canada. Since the day I purchased my car I have been without a owners manual and after several phone calls to their customer care center I still to date don't have one. I have even asked to pay for courier charges for rush shipments. This is the second time I have had to deal with their care center with poor responses. This is my first Chrysler and last for this very reason. When will the north american car makers learn. Still Love The Car.

This car is almost too much fun to be legal! I have taken it on long trips and use it in town and I have no complaints on its handling or comfort. It has incredible pick up and speed and everyone stops and asks what kind of car it is! I am a proud owner of a Crossfire by Chrysler.
