European Car In Disguise — Great car, awesome handling but not lacking in ride comfort. Solid engine/transmission. Interior build quality is a bit lacking but everything else is fantastic. Great choice on Mercedes part to base it off the first generation SLK as everything mechanically has been tried and tested. Acceleration is just about right but if I could go back I would have definitely opted for the SRT-6 although you cannot get a manual in that model. Gas mileage is way above the 25 highway ratings even at constant illegal highway speeds. Oil capacity is insane at 8.5quarts but expect it to come out clean after 10k miles because of this albeit at a $100 oil change (that's doing it myself, no labor cost). Overall I would highly recommend this car!

Pros

A high quality gran-touring platform that is VASTLY underrated. Stunning good looks, and surprisingly good gas mileage. Mercedes build quality and a sublime ride. A real head turner too.....

Cons

None, but that is just this reviewer humble opinion.

Drive This Car And You Will Understand...... — For a variety of reasons, the automotive press pretty much dismissed the Crossfire because it wasn't what they wanted it to be, namely a Corvette. Well, it's not a Corvette. And the car is all the better for it. Handling is sublime. Firm and well controlled with exceptional compliance and chassis rigidity. Alot has been said about the cramped interior, but I am 6' 1" and find the cockpit very comfortable. This is not a Camry. This is a car you wear. And it fits me like a well tailored suit. storage space is actually very good, considering that this is a two-seat sports car. I use this car as my daily driver, and how much space a person needs to consider a car practical enough for them is relative. I used to commute by motor cycle, so this car is like a station wagon to me by comparison. My bullboxer pit fits in the back and loves the cozy feel and immediately falls asleep. Very special feeling driving this care. Can't explain it. Gotta drive it. Mine has been as reliable as an anvil. Maintenance is in line with other cars of this type. This is an enthusiasts car. Anyone that wants to be completely removed from the driving experience probably wont like this car. The aural and tactile sensations are pure sports car. Yes you can hear the engine (and man, does it sound sexy) yes you can feel the road beneath you. This is a driver's car for people that enjoy the act of DRIVING.

The Best Car For The Money — Love the looks and the handling, fun factor is off the charts, 30MPG averaging 80 MPH. Must drive it on "The Dragon" to experience how much fun driving can be. If you see another Crossfire you are surprised and glad you have a very unique car.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Great Car For The Money. — One of the most solid build cars I've ever driven. A lot of fun to drive. I love the interior and exterior. Excellent value for the money. Greatly under rated. Would recommend it to anyone looking for an inexspensive sports car of good quality.

A very unique experience while driving.  You rarely see one on the road and it's special because of that.

Cons

Maintenance is expensive.

2004 Chrysler Crossfire Limited — It's fast enough for me, but nothing too special. It's bone stock, but plans have been made and are being set in motion for modifications. It's a very stiff ride that provides feedback about the road and how the car is handling. Makes me feel very in tune while driving. But be careful about the potholes and bumps in the road, low pro tires are rather easy to pop. I know this from experience. It's rear wheel drive with summer tires on it so there will be no driving in the snow unfortunately.

Fun And Beautiful :) — Gorgeous, drives beautifully, gets lots of attention. Maintenance costs are a little higher than I'd like, and gas is killing me, but overall I love it. Worth every penny.

Handles great
Fun car to drive - Fast!
Lots of storage space for luggage, etc in back

Cons

The only "con" would be that it is a 2-seater.  Can't take it when going with the whole family.

Fantastic Ride — Love the car. Way too many positives to list. Acceleration and handling leave nothing to be desired. It really hugs the road no matter what curves you throw at it. Looks and performance. It is basically a Mercedes with a Chrysler emblem.

Buy One Now — Quite possibly the ultimate 'marmite' car amazing to look at and hasn't changed that much from the original concept car. Although it's quick and hreat fun on the bendy bits it's also a very civilised cruiser, to top it all off it's even good good MPGs
