little car, big power!

Probably the best car I have ever owned, better than a mustang, vette or eclipse which I have also owned. Exceleration is incredible (str6) and will leave you with a HUGE grin. Very reliable the only thing that is not outstanding is the cupholder. Some one's idea of a retro joke? Not funny. Great Car!

sharp car

i bought a 2005 crossfire about 5 months ago. great car and fun to drive. good gas milege. the dash in this car was kinda bland, so i purchased an wood dash kit for the car, everyone who seen it loved the way itl looked, otherwise i would have to say this car has great styling, gets looks almost everywhere i go with it

Crossfire SRT-6 a Collectable

I also own a 2005 Crossfire convertible, Limited and was so impressed with it I wanted to own the supercharged version i.e. the SRT-6. Upside with the SRT-6 is of course the acceleration. With SRT-6 you are going from 215 HP to 330 HP. Downside, is a much stiffer ride when compared to the normally aspirated convertible. Upside only about 2,900 SRT-6's were produced during 2005-2006. Has an AMG engine hand built in Germany along with the rest of the vehicle. Downside, with coupe is the restricted view to the rear, but that is where most of your competition will be. Upside, in my opinion, is it's classical exterior lines. I have been the recipient of many compliments and questions regarding both vehicles. Will it become a collectable is anyone's guess.

cheap thrills

Cheap sports car is all I can say. Powerful when it runs ok. At highway spees, it feels like supercharger cuts out and when you push gas pedal, it barely accelerates. Happens about 1 in 3 times. interior materials feel a little cheap

Great car for the Money

I bought this 2005 Chrysler Crossfire in April with 40,000 miles and I couldn't be more pleased with the overall quality of this car. I have the six speed convertible,what a head turner!! I really think that Chrysler should bring it back,they stop production in '08. I'm the second owner of this car and the original paperwork was in the glovebox, at $38,000 plus, I couldn't afford new but I found several great deals across the midwest.This is a true sportcar with great power and handling. DRIVE THIS CAR!!!

Love this Car

I bought this Crossfire SRT6 in March, so I can't attest to reliability yet, but since it is built by Karmann, who also builds the M-B SLK, I would expect it to be pretty good. Although there are a few little quirks, overall, the car is very fast, with excellent handling. The best thing is the brakes, just phenomenal. Definitely an attention getter, probably because it is rare, only about 3,000 SRT6's built. Fairly well thought out interior, but I wasn't crazy about the silver dash panel, I purchased an aftermarket wood grain kit. I probably devalued the car a bit by doing this, but everyone likes it better, including me. Performance equal to or better than SLK of same era, and goes for 1/2 the price of used SLK, so I feel like this is a great deal. if you can find a clean used SRT6 with low mileage, go for it, you will not be disappointed.

weekend sporter

Nice style and it's an eye catcher. Difficult to change flat without spare....provide you with a jack....seriously Chrysler that defeat the purpose. Did I forget to mention the tires has to be order! They're not the usual tires to be purchase daily. Right car wrong time do to gas inflation $$$! It's my toy car and for the valuable price it beats Mercedes original prices any day. Might have a Chrysler body but I got a Mercedes engine.....ZOOM ZOOM!

A fun car to drive

Overall I really like this car. First I will list my DOWNSIDES: 1) Oil changes are very expensive. 2.) OK it's a real sports car, but I wish it had a spare tire, hard to do since it has different size wheels on the back 19 inch and 18 inch on the front, Oh well I can live with it. 3.) It has a joke for a cup holder, I would not have put one in if it had to be the one it's got. 4.) You really have to be aware of what is on the back sides of you because the visualibility is pretty poor out the back window with the convertable top up, but again it is a true sports roadster. 5.) You have to put premium gas in it. NOW the UPSIDES: 1.) Very fun to drive. 2.) The exterior style is execptional. 2.) It is a head turner. 3.) Fast out of the gate. 4.) I love the way the drop top works. 5.) The small roll bars behind each seat are very stylish. 5.) The Tires and wheels are cool along with the 19 inch in the back and 18 inch in the front. 6.) Did I say it is fun to drive? yes I did in my first point. 7.) I love it and I am very happy to own it.
