Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler Crossfire?
Handling (Purchased car used, tends to pull right-yet to be determined!)
A real eye catcher!
A very stable driving platform!
It's the 330 hp model, so doesn't lack for power.
Surprisingly handles well in snow!
Very comfortable on longer trips!

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Crossfire?
The comments on the cheap plastic interior is well warranted!
The cup holder is atrocious!
Better design, placement (always catching with right arm) and a second for the passenger (properly located for both convenience,and looks)!
Maintenance.. Excessively high...Premium fuel..Premium tires (lowest priced starting at $200.00 each, to over $400.00 each! Synthetic oil only..Aprox.8,@ $8.00 a quart...) None of these were addressed by dealer when purchased!
Yet the old saying...Ya PLAYS, Ya PAYS!...is valid!

2005 Chrysler Crossfire Review:
Over all, I am well pleased with the vehicle! I've been a mechanic for approximately 40 years (owned my own shop for over 30 of those!), so I wasn't blind going into this purchase! The resale is low, I believe, because of the recent problems at Chrysler, and also the economy! Basically, the Cross Fire is a Mercedes! Their Quality has always been high, sooo....I did however, purchase the extended warranty....Couldn't hurt!

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler Crossfire?
I Love how this car hold the corners, and its overall holding of the road at high speed. It really stick to the road. Passing another car is pure easiness.

2005 Chrysler Crossfire Review:
Intelligently made: German specs Mercedes auto, with a Chrysler body the best of both world. The SLK from Mercedes has the exact same power than this car. I paid much more than $25000.00 for this 2005 but it's worth every penny of it. Now it is sleeping in my garage for the winter, and I can't wait for summer again ...

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler Crossfire?
I HAVE A 2005 CROSSFIRE SRT6 WHICH IS SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN THE REGULAR CROSSFIRE WHICH I OWNED FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. THIS CAR IS A KEEPER AND ABSOLUTELY FLIES. I LOVED BOTH CROSSFIRES BUT I LOVE THE EXTRA POWER OF THE SRT6.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Crossfire?
BETTER CUP HOLDER AND NOT SO HARSH ON BUMPY ROADS.

The looks are striking. The exterior and interior are stylish. Brakes and Handling outstanding. This is a Mercedes with Chrysler Design...the best of both worlds!!!!

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Crossfire?
Upgrade the cupholder to work better with styrofoam cups.

2005 Chrysler Crossfire Review:
This is a wonderful combo of proven Mercedes engineering and Chrysler styling. If you buy this car you will truly enjoy it. Beyond driving a everyday car. It is like owning a uber car without the price tag but with everyday reliability. This car turns heads and makes you wonder why you ever drove anything less. Not a Tuner, not cheap looking but just a solid super drive.
