2008 Chrysler Crossfire User Reviews

Pros

Beautiful art deco influenced design, good on gas, hugs the roads, most expensive tires.

Cons

Not enough ground clearance over weird angled driveway bumps (like mine)

I had a red coupe 2004 (MB german import) and for the three year lease it never, ever gave me any problems. It was just a second behind my husband's S2000 AND more comfortable. Definitely a collectors car. I would actually buy another now that I read it was not being manufactured any longer however it would have to be from the MB factory. (Not sure if they are still made there)
Great "mom's only" car to my day-to-day small SUV kids and dogs car.
P.S. My neighbor paid $5000 for a set of the exact same tires for his Porshe...yes, the same ones that came standard on my 2004 model. HE came up to admire the car and tell me this!...read morehide

Pros

I own a 2005 Convertable Roadster, first off the line back then. I waited 6 months but I love it.

Cons

not a car to ride around in with its top UP. Blind spots.

I live in N.E. Pennsylvania so this is not a year round car. I put it away for the winter. The car is over 3 yrs old and I only have 5,000 miles on it. It a fun car for a day trip. I love when kids yell out their window "Nice Ride Man". The car is first class all the way. I never for a second was sorry I purchsed it. They could improve on a cup holder but there isn't alot of room for one. I own a Mercede E Series and the dash board is identical to it since it was made by Mercedes back then. I told my...read morehide

Pros

Lots of power, good handling, looks awesome!!

Cons

Cup holder, lots of mechanical problem but is a Chrysler so I got what I paid for!!

I have a 2006 Limited Coupe and for the last year the vehicle has been in the shop several times for electrical problems and a transmission problem. I like the looks of the car and the way it drives but after this one I don't think I'll ever own another Chrysler. I should have known better since the last Grand Cherokee I owned had a lot of problems also and cost me alot of money to get it fixed and also does NOT holds it value whatsoever. Anyways good looking car that's it!!...read morehide

Pros

You can dissect the road with surgical precision. Accelerates like a rocket.

Cons

No spare tire, lame cup holder, rear window too small (blind spots)...

I bought a 2006 Roadster Limited that had low miles from a Chrysler dealership . I didn't get the matching luggage, but will look on ebay for it. I did the oil and filter change myself, very easy. Unfortunately, the mobil1 0W40 is not cheap. I hope the spark plugs will be as easy to replace. The Chrysler dealer wants us to pay Mercedes Benz prices for service on this little gem....read morehide

Pros

This is a great little car!! Good milage, cool looking, & not overloaded with gadgets.

Cons

The silver trim around the windshield, which I had painted to match the car's red color.

The deal was unbelievable, the dealer really wanted to sell this car. I'm also not driving a car that I shall see everyone else in. Under the skin it is a MB SLK-320.

Pros

Better gas mileage than you would expect, runs wonderful and makes me smile!

Cons

Can't see over bushes.

I've enjoyed my baby car for 3 years and have loved every ride. It is my first convertible and I LOVE it. I've taken long trips in other cars and I tend to get backaches. Since I've had mine, I never have that problem. I love the comfort of the seats & the seat warmers are a big plus. I've never had any mechanical problems and it runs like a dream. The only thing I don't like is not being able to see how hot it looks while going down the street. ;)...read morehide

Pros

Seat Warmers, Unique Style

Cons

Cup holder

I bought this car used for my 24th birthday in Black with grey leather interior manual 6speed. Didn't even know how to drive the vehicle when I bought it but I learned quickly. Its a very sexy car that turns both men and womens heads!!

Pros

Great ride, decent gas mileage avg 23 mpg, well equipped

Cons

GPS is not user friendly, expensive tires

I have owned many convertibles and this one is the best. The car is awesome. I have a 2005 and bought it with 11,000 miles on it. I have 85,000 miles on it and of course replaced tires several times, but that is part of owning this type of car. I hope it lasts for a long time. I love the style and look of the car. The body style is timeless. Although the trunk is small, it is big compared to other 2 seater sports cars. I get so many compliments on it. It is too bad Chrysler stopped making it. They should have found a way to market it better but at least I own something that you don't see on every corner. I would say if you can find one ---buy it!...read morehide

Pros

Handling, fuel economy, heated seats, zone temperature control, stylish, manumatic transmi and quick

Cons

headlights get foggy, paint chips on weather sealant on roof,

I had my crossfire totalled in a accident last week. I was hit in the driver's side front fender. The person was going about 50 mph. I was not injured in the accident but out of all four of the airbags in the vehicle the passenger side airbag was the only one to go off.The crofssfire was the nicest car I've owned so far. The car will go the full 150 mph. The cars handling is great. I did race a 350z on the highway once. The 350 Z pulled beside me and the driver signaled for us to race and I nodded. I waited for him to accelerate and then put my foot to the floor. I pulled away from him with ease and i was a few car lengths ahead of him in no time. I bought my crossfire for 13k used. It had only 17,000 miles on it and it was a 2004 model. The crossfire hasn't really changed since then. I suggest shop for these cars used before you go out and spend 30k on a new one. The car is a real head turner....read morehide

Pros

Looks Awesome, Great MPGs

Cons

Wish it had a cup holder, but hey...

My '07 Xfire Roadster Convertible (with approx. 8000 miles) has been in Chrysler service departments on 4 separate occasions (I have been without the car for approx. 17 days) for the same issues. Airbag light (Airbags may or may not deploy in an accident and they may deploy while driving down the road) AND rear wing malfunctions on a regular / daily basis.
Numerous phone calls to Chrysler Customer Care get absolutely no results. I am routed from person to person. The service department crossfire mechanic can do no more. Been waiting for an appointment for a Chrysler Tech to be sent from Michigan for over a month now.
(Yes, you read that correctly. I have been waiting for over a month just to get an appointment set up. Wonder how long it will take to actually get the Chrysler Tech here)
Despite what I have been going thru with these mentioned issues, I have to say, this is an Awesome looking / driving vehicle....read morehide
