I'm not quite sure about all the negativity concerning the Chrysler Crossfire. So typical in how it got favorable reviews when new but now it is the "in thing" to bad mouth it in the car community. The same components that were raved over in the Mercedes-Benz SLK get ridiculed in the Crossfire. Not enough power... mid 14's in the 1/4 mile and 150 mph top speed isn't enough? That's quicker than the majority of the so-called muscle cars of myth and legend. Handling is on par with most exotics from the same time period and braking is excellent. Interior is attractive... at least that's what was stated during several road tests and reviews. Of course now it is called cheap and inexpensive looking. Real two-toned leather Recaro seats with power and heat, Becker or Infinity stereo equipment, Mercedes-Benz switches and controls. Anyhow, you get my point... I love these cars. My wife and I have no issues with ours. It runs great, turns heads, wins car show trophies and is a pleasure to cruise in. In twenty years anti-Crossfire people will be crying for the bargain exotic they let slip away.

I own a 2006 with 60,000 miles and love it. Rides better than my stiff Vet did. People always comment on it. I have put every mile on this car driving cross country and never has let me down
