Great car for the money

The car is very fun and so far reliable. Unfortunately because it's mostly Mercedes, the up keep. An get quite expensive. It is recommended that any service be accomplished by a certified Crossfire technician. So far the only complaint I have is water enters the cabin when it rains. I have had the drains cleaned once and still have the issue.

Good Deal

The miles, the condition great deal. Would offer $16,000, or trade a Stang or Charger plus cash. Looks to be in great condition.

Hot Fun

The car is fun. I have the convertible and could not be more satisfied. This is not an everyday driver. its my fun car. I would never use this as anything more. Its a toy with limitations and quirks like any other car. But go buy the expensive Mercedes version for twice the money. And then judge its lesser exp model. As far as I am concern, I own the Mercedes

New attitude every day!

This is the first new car I've ever owned. I've never had any problems and it handles like a dream. I bought it while I was on vacation, while "killing time". I had no intention of buying one, but after driving it and letting the wind blow through my hair, I was hooked. I've had mine for over 5 years now and it still looks hot and makes me feel like a teenager. The only thing I'm not fond of however, is when the top is up, it has a bad blind spot. You have to really watch yourself and adjust your mirrors to avoid others. If I have a chance to buy another, I won't hesitate. (My family is already fighting over my car just in case something happens to me. haha)

Drop Top Enhusiast

My last 7 cars have been convertibles and this one seems to have it all. My MR2 Spyder was a head turner, but lacked space. My VW Cabrio had space, but 0 performance. My Mercedes SLK had style space, but was a bit pricey. So, when it came time to move to my next car, I chose the Crossfire Convertible. It truly is an SLK at a much more reasonable price. It performs well, has a nice size trunk, looks good and because it is no longer made, it is becoming even more of a head turner. It is a great value for the money. I would recommend this car to any woman or man. I am 5'2" and fit comfortably in it and my husband is 6'1" and is comfortable. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Best sports car for the price....

The 5-speed is difficult to drive. The automatic is a dream to drive. Great handling and good acceleration. The 3.2 gives 27 mpg on the highway. I always run 93 octane. $150 oil change is not bad because you only change it every 9,000 miles. Wish I had a three car garage instead of two car then I could have an suv, crossfire hardtop, and crossfire convertible.

Red convertible is so much fun-may have to sell

...get the automatic with triptronic..you can downshift and get out of any trouble and change lanes in a flash. I go up a major grade regularly in 4th gear and it flies by all the cars. The cruise control is great as is the ability to accelerate/decelerate easily with one finger. Convertible top is automatic/effortless. Heads turn to see it. May need cash 702-325-4600

Art Deco on the move!

From the hood strakes to the dragon tail, this car screams for attention and gets it. It handles like it's on rails and gets 21 mpg on the highway (but not at 130 mph). Even the cupholder is a engineering work of art, to be looked at and admired but never used! The only thing I don't like is the cost of oil changes for the 3.2 L Mercedes engine @ $135.00. Very solid build (Karmann makes the car in Germany) and nice sounding 240 watt stereo. I think most people will like, no, will love this car!
