2007 Crossfire Roadster

Summary:
Man, I love this car. I was looking at the Pontiac Solstice but I couldn't fit in it at 6'3". I started looking at Mercedes coupes and then I remembered reading about the Crossfire a couple years ago so I decided to give them a look. I'm glad I did too because pound for pound and dollar for dollar it's a great car. Why pay 10-15K more for a used SLK when you can have one of these brand new. It flys too with great off line and highway acceleration. Even really dogging it I'm getting 25+ MPG.

Strengths:
Styling, acceleration, styling, acceleration, styling......

Weaknesses:
none really. You shouldn't expect trunk space in a roadster.

2004 Coupe

Summary:
I bought this car with 32,800 one owner miles in excellent condition (yes excellent, I'm very picky). For anyone that doesn't know these cars are produced by Karman and comes down the same assembly line as the SLK Benz and the Audi TT. The fit and finish is definitely on par with Mercedez, and the engine is powerful and smooth. If you're looking for a vehicle with multiple cup holders buy a minivan, this is a sports car that's meant to be driven. As soon as you drive one of these cars you'll be hooked....the cars sell themselves. These cars are a bargain for what you get. I continuously get 25 mpg and don't do any highway driving...that's with occasionally clearing out any carbon. If you're buying an 04 Xfire do not pay more than 14000. There are plenty of deals out there, be patient. The dealer I bought it from is a licensed XFire dealer and had the car in their showroom for a year, and were looking to sell it cheap.

Strengths:
- handling/performance
- styling/uniqueness
- quality
- gas mileage
- market crashed on the cars so prices are cheap!

Weaknesses:
0w-40 Mobil 1 synthetic is $100 a case.

2006 Coupe Limited 6spd

Summary:
Wow that is the word that sums this car up. I have had sprots cars to SUV's and this is a great sports/touring car. It handles great but has a nice ride. The power is nice. I live in the midwest and it is my daily driver. I get 24.6mpg city/hwy drivin. Great economy for car that runs this well. It is not the fastes on the road but is nice. The day I bought it, I drove 8 hours to get this car then drove back 8 hours. Right after picking up the car I was on an open highway road with very few cars and noticed the trees seemed to be moving very quickly look at my speed. I was going 114mph and did not even feel it. Dedicded to use the cruse at 85 for the rest of the drive home still got 25mpg. If there is a draw back it is that there is only one cup holder but being a 2 seater you don't need the second cup holder all of the tme.

The price is great if you look at the price of Mercedes auto. This car is built in Germany by Mercedes and shipped to the states. This auto is over 85% Mercedes. There are a few chrysler items on it. Like the exhust system was change from the SLK so it would have a deeper sound plus it has some chrysler emblems. Again the word that sums it up is "WOW"

Strengths:
The car

Weaknesses:
None.

Summary:
Just wanted to set the record straight for those of you who have just fallen in love with the Crossfire. It has NOT been discontinued. Maybe they won't make it after 2008, I don't know. But they are definitely coming off the line this year.

2005 Crossfire Convertible

Summary:
I was looking on the freeway while driving, for a car that spun my head around. Living in LA I've got quite a selection, but none got me. Then heading to Palm Springs one day I saw a convertible gray Crossfire and my heart flew out the door. I sped up along side it and thought it was the hottest car I'd seen in a long long time.
I landed a great deal on the exact same color and style and LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CAR!!! It is sooooo tight on the road, yet drives like a dream, the cornering is totally amazing. And the power is stunning. I had a Jag XKR Turbo convertible and Crossfire just kicks its ass on almost every level. Crossfire turns on a dime, and will completely make you forget about all the cars you thought you might fall out the door.
Good going Chrysler?Mercedes, I look forward to this becoming a collector car.

Strengths:
PRICING!!! Best bang for the buck of anything out there. Mercedes Parts throughout. Pickup off the line. Cornering. Stereo. Stying.

Weaknesses:
None, this is a sports car, not a Starbucks!
