Used 2006 Chrysler Crossfire Consumer Reviews
AMG Punch with the Crossfire Charm
I've owned my Crossfire SRT-6 coupe for a little over a year and this is a great car. It's fast, it's elegant, and it's a head turner almost everywhere I go with it. My only gripe with the car is that it was only available as a 5-speed automatic with AutoStick. I feel that a manufacturer of a true sports car would give buyers the option of purchasing such a car with a manual transmission primarily, and possibly offering an automatic transmission. Unfortunately because this is an Mercedes-Benz AMG at heart, it is only offered as an automatic. Otherwise, the car is a blast to drive and definitely a conversion starter. I would recommend getting one!
Underrated sports car
My crossfire SRT is a wonderful vehicle, vastly underrated and seemingly unknown. The performance is awesome. The motor is immediately responsive and a thrill to feel the acceleration. The build quality is superb and not at all like an American car. I have compared against the Mercedes SLK and this is a far superior vehicle even though built on the same platform.

Attention!
I love my Crossfire. It is one awesome car. I am so happy with it. I had a BMW Z3 while I bought the Crossfire. I have had three back surgeries. I think it is very comfortable. I am actually glad I bought it. I like the attention too. It is good to be different. I think it looks better than the SLK. Everyone has the SLK. Not a lot of people have the Crossfire.
My first sports car!!!
I've owned a black SRT6 for about 2.5 months now. I bought it as a weekend/fun car. Despite only coming in an auto tranny, this car will satisfy the power hungry... believe me. Friends that have ridden with me (and the few close friends who I trusted to give it a test drive) commented on the rapid acceleration, smooth shifting auto tranny & great handling/traction. It pulls hard & upshifts from 3rd to 4th around 105 or so at full throttle. Trust what the reviews say about it & ignore the very few negative reviews because it's a superb performer. Also, consumers held off on buying these at an unfair 45K so they can be had for a reasonable 30-35K w/low milage!! I paid $30,600 w/3400 miles!!!
Bang for the Buck
One of the biggest complaints about this car has been a result of the competition which surrounds it in that mid $30,000 price bracket. You have BMW coupes, the 350Z, the G35 coupe, the S2000, to name a few. And those cars are phenomenal in their own rights. But I got my Crossfire for about $20,000, and it wasn't even a year old. And be fair, which of these cars looks the most exotic? I think that as good as the other cars look, the Crossfire is in a different class. And it is fast enough. The Mercedes 3.2L motor that's under the hood is low on BHP, but it has a fat torque curve that really starts stomping at 3000 rpms. 6.1 0-60 seems good. And the exhaust note!
