Other Chrysler Crossfire (2003 - 2008) models:

  • Summary

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Bold maybe? But definately quirky!

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    It is certainly a talking point; mostly everyone loves it, including the wife - which can't be half bad?

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes. It is a real shame that production was stopped in early 2008.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Not quite sure. But I'm in no hurry now. Hoping for a good summer this year to get out on the road and enjoy it. Fingers crossed there!

    Independent

    Did you buy this car new?

    No

    £0

    When did you buy the car?

    March 2010

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    Yes, being a small high-street dealer with low overheads, meant a lower than typical price and better service.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Fancied something different; quirky!

    What was the dealer like?

    Extremely helpful.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    An absolute pleasure and it is a head-turner.

    What's it like to park?

    Not difficult. But the rear design does restrict vision somewhat; but that is true of many of today's modern cars.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    No, touch-wood. Still early days, but I wanted to share my experience thus far and my initial research that lead to the purchase.

    What's most practical about your car?

    These cars are much maligned and I don't understand why? In essence, it is a Mercedes which was designed by a British designer and owned by an Amercian Parent Company. The smoothness of the power delivered by the 3.2 V6 is an absolute joy. Moved up from an 2002 MGTF and I wish I had done it earlier. The car is far superior in every respect.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The car's Infinity cD/radio stereo system is truly awesome. Again, power with refinement.
