Chrysler Crossfire Roadster (04-08) - Review

Review by Ben Wall on
If you need a two-seat convertible to get you noticed then the Crossfire Roadster is worth a look. What it lacks in badge image, it makes up for with visual appeal and relative exclusivity - as a used buy it can make a bargain open top sports car. However its by far the perfect package. The engine is sluggish, the gearboxes (both automatic and manual) are poor and it is dull to drive. The cheap-feeling plasticky interior and cramped cockpit complete the underwhelming package.

Buying used

There are a fair few Crossfires around, both at dealers and as private sales. The model has suffered heavy depreciation in recent years and may actually be more affordable than you think.

Selling

The market for large coupes like this is a tricky one - especially when the default choice is the Audi TT. The Crossfire isn't an easy sell - especially with heavy road tax costs. The SRT-6 version may generate more interest but is unlikely to get you much of a premium over the standard car
