2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster Limited Review
ProsI love my Crossfire as it combines cool chrysler design with mercedes drivetrain, quality, and reliability and built by Karmann in Germany uniqueness. Has a great forum following for info and repairs (www.crossfireforum.org ) ConsNot a lot of dealer support. Some parts are pretty expensive. Not a great resale value but a good buy at current prices.

The Best Of Chrysler,mercedes And Karmann — It is a beautiful car and even now at 8 years old it still turns heads. It has a very good solid feel and rides pretty good for having 18 and 19" wheels on low profile rubber. Tracks like a go cart. I have had minimal issues with the car and have fixed most of them myself with info from the forum. It goes fast enough for most people but is also available in a SRT6 model with an extra 100+ HP for those who need speed! It is the most fun car I have ever owned and with the top down it just adds to the great feeling of driving it.

ProsSome good buys out there on this summer roadster... Consnone, it's a very good car.

If You Get A Chance, Get One, You'll Love It — Performance for the normally inspired V6 is very good, not excellent, but good. The quality has been fine, no issue accept with the alarm system. I love the look, people ask me if it's a prototype, yeah, a 5 year old prototype! Oil changes are expensive $112. I love the car, it's fun, fun, fun....it hold the road like glue with the Sumotoyo HTR tires, I get thumbs up everywhere I go, someone is always trying to prove their car is faster (who cares) not what I got it for. Found the 3 pc luggage set on Ebay for $100, good price. Would I want something else, well, maybe a Alpha Romeo C8....a beautiful Italian!

ProsSooooo much fun!!! ConsService= costly and hard to find a qualified mechanic

It's A Car To Buy When You Can Afford To Have It! — I LOVE this car!! It handles excellent and has plenty of power for me. Maintenance is quite high but if you don't put alot of km's on in a year it works out. Need a good high car Mechanic to work on it as the Chrysler dealerships don't seem to work on them enough to know what they are doing. It has been my dream car and I look forward to spring/summer/fall driving even though it can be driven it the winter, we park it.

2005 Chrysler Crossfire Coupe Limited Review
ProsHandles great, quick, classic looks ConsTires cost an arm and a leg! Cup holder is useless.

Fun, Classic Looking Sports Car — The car is fun to drive. It's quick, fast and handles great. I love the look of the car, especially from the rear. The manual transmission is a bit choppy though, sometimes it resists going into gear. The interior is nice, no electronic gadgets to muddle it up - Radio, analog gauges, shift knob and the normal AC, and window controls...nice and clean. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsGas mileage. ConsNumb feeling steering wheel.
35
Great Little Sports Car — Overall this car is pretty good. The styling of the car is excellent. I constantly get looks driving it no matter where I go. The interior could use some work. It has that cheap feel to it and is very plasticy. The performance is what I'm most impressed with. Under the hood beats the engine of a Mercedes 3.2 Litre V6 good enough for 215 horsepower which is more than enough to get this light little car to get up and go. Handling overall is also great, turns on a dime. My only complaint is that the steering feels numb. It feels like there is no connection between the steering wheel and the road. It also get great gas milage. | ||

ProsSharp looking, powerful ConsNo lumbar support, very little head room (if you are tall, forget it), blindspots and low visibility
25
Sharp — Smart looking and powerful. Beautifully designed body. Great acceleration, good control. Gas mileage better than reported 22/30 vs. 18/22. Major blind spots on either side when backing up and very low headroom for taller folks. But if you want a sassy, sporty look - this car has it! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsA stiff body structure and oversized tires gives this car a crisp handling characteristics. This car has unbelievable power. Power off the line is tremendous, and faster than most other cars on the road. But on the highway, this car is a madman. At 80 mph on the highway, punch it and you better hold on, and that's no exaggeration.This Crossfire is a delight to drive. Excellent performance and a real head turner. ConsIt can get you in trouble if your not careful

Increditable Car — A carry-over from 2004, the Crossfire is a two-seat sports coupe that shares many key components with Mercedes Benz, and is built in the legendary Karmen plant in Osnabrueck Germany. Has a 3.2-liter V6 engine that produces 215 horsepower with the five-speed automatic manual transmission. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsPower and stability. It takes turns like a car with racing suspension ConsDefrost for the front window, and a better cup holder - it was terrible inadequate 
25
I Love This Car — It is such a pleasure to drive this car certainly if you are interested in high performance cars and I like the suspension on the car to be tight. It takes turns like a car with racing suspension. I bought a Chrysler and got the Mercedes engineering modeled from their SLK 320. It makes you silly and smile when you got on a curvy road and could really accelerate into the curves. The cons were few. This is not a Truck or SUV or a car for the snow in any way shape or form. If the roads aren't plowed and there are a few inches on the ground, you're not going anywhere. Not with low profile tires on your car. The car rides more like a race car and this isn't all that comfortable in cities with bad roads. It’s designed for the smooth roads. Another improvement would be an better defrost for the front window, and a better cup holder -it was terrible inadequate, popped up all the time and didn't hold drinks well One thing about this car is it has a very quiet engine. Sure it's small inside and like being in a cockpit instead of a car, but it was the best driving experience in a car I've ever have had. That is why I can say I love this car.
