2005 Chrysler Crossfire Limited Convertible
Price as tested: $41,195
Likes: Good power at low speeds, very unique design, aesthetically pleasing interior
Gripes Most uncomfortable car I’ve ever driven; ridiculously short seating area left my 6′1″ body cramped and hurting. Had poor power when passing at highway speeds, terrible visibility, and I hit my head on something every time I tried to change lanes.
Verdict: Every time I drove this car I was in a hurry to get to wherever I was going and get out. While I’m not short, I’m not very tall either, and I was completely cramped and uncomfortable in every way in this car. My elbows almost touched the bottom of the steering wheel when at 10 and 2, and my knees were cramped and smashed against the bottom of the dash. The visibility was so bad that I tried to never change lanes, and when I did I always paid the price by straining my neck and hitting my head on the low ceiling. I am happy to be back in the daily-driver comfort of my Accord. For this price I expected much more.

WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH OUR CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. I`M 6`2″ AND CAN ADJUST MY SEAT TO BE CONFORTABLE. WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON THE APPEARANCE OF THE CAR WHICH IS VERY NICE. WE USE IT AS A WEEK-END CAR AND ARE PLANNING TO MAKE A LOT OF TRIPS TO GALVESTON ISLAND FOR SEAFOOD AND FRESH AIR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE TO ANYONE WHO LIKES THE RIDE OF A COMFORTABLE SPORTS CAR WITH LOTS OF ZIP ON THE HIGHWAY! HAPPY CAMPER IN PORT ARTHUR..GARY T.
