Get one, you will love it!

I have had both the coupe as well as the roadster. Both are great for different reasons, my 1st was a 2004 Alabaster coupe with the cedar and dark slate interior. I wanted the roadster and got a stunning 05 Aero blue pearl coat, it was great too. 👍 Both cars handled very well and were gorgious. I can reccomend either. But I loved the 04 better and I kick myself for trading it. Buy one and enjoy every moment. It is all Mercedes-Benz all the parts and everything except the body is Mercedes. All built in Germany at the Karman factory. German technology at its best.

Great little car!

Great sporty car. Very few issues. Opened it up on I 80 out in nebraska panhandle one day, no cars in site. Got up to 156 mph. Stayed there about three miles and brought it back down.

Better than expected

I’ve always loved the looks of this car and after my son’s girlfriend wrecked my 2004 Toyota Solarna convertible I decided to purchase a 2006 Chrysler Crossfire convertible. It had 82k miles when I purchased it and it’s got little over 90,000 now. Absolutely no problems and it handles great. Love it!

Had one, got another

I already knew what i was getting into before I arrived. I like the crossfire for what it is. The low miles really help as well.

Excellent value for the money!

Great sporty, fast, sharp looking, unique vehicle. Looks like it cost a bundle, but a hidden Mercedes lurking under the Chrysler badge. The negatives, have had valve cover "weeps", leaks multiple times, current mileage 55000 repaired, replaced cover, 4 times since new. Low seats, firm ride, I'm 6'1", not easy to get in out if you can't fully open the door. Headlight lens tend to fog, no aftermarket replacements. Expensive. A lot of fun to drive.

Fun Fun Fun

I recommend the convertible, it’s fantastic!!! All I hear from others who see it is, “you know it’s a Mercedes?” Very well built and the blue silver paint is a sight to see. I love it!!!

Super fun to drive with the top down.

This car is for the car enthusiast, looking for something unique and fun to drive, not really an everyday driver, I wanted to keep it show room clean for that sunny day.

Head Turner

I've owned it since new and had many other performance cars in the past and by far this has been my favorite. I have only used it as a weekend sunny day joy ride since I've owned it so the miles are still low. Just turned 14000 miles. It matches the performance of the Mustang GT of the same vintage even though the Mustang has a 300 HP V8. It still has the original windshield wash fluid, tires, wipers,etc... It likes to cruise effortlessly at 100 plus mph while feeling like and sounding like you're only doing 65. These were made for the Autobahn. Get a performance tune and it will easily go faster than you would dare at top speed. Eurocharged Tuning estimates 200 mph plus. I keep it garaged and covered when not in use so it is still in mint condition.

Purchased for a pleasure driver.

Everything I was looking for, really fun to drive. Looking forward to good weather to enjoy driving it more. It’s a sharp & sporty car!

Love the Crossfire but...

I really like this car. However; it's very underpowered! With only 215 hp it's just not that quick. All the people talking about how quick it is obviously haven't driven a car with real power. I'm a chevy v8 LS lover. I've had several Camaros: 2 z's and an SS and I guess I got spoiled. My Camry has more power than the crossfire; 268 hp and it's very fast for a sedan. She beat the Crossfire in a drag race. I drove the Crossfire and my friend drove my Camry. And I've been racing since I was 17. The Camry embarrassed the Crossfire... It's definitely a head turner though and fun to drive. It hugs the road and handles great! Comfort isn't great but it's a sports car. There are no cup holders which I dislike very much! Even my SS had them. Also the interior feels a bit cheap. I don't care for all the grey plastic and the mirror adjustment switch is in a horrible location and always gets knocked off and lost. I've had to buy a couple... And for those of you that say 215 hp is good for a little car like this you have to remember I'm driving the convertible roadster and the fact that it's a convertible makes it heavier because of the extra materials used to reinforce the "frame/unibody". Since there's no hard roof the undercarriage has to be reinforced a lot and it adds a lot of weight to the car. I still love it though. I'd like to put a supercharger in it but performance parts for this car aren't easy to find.
