| Description |
| The 2003 Chrysler Crossfire is a beautiful looking car, despite having a engine made by Mercedes under the hood there is no mistaking this as an American car. Just looking at the Chrysler Crossfire would give you the impression of a very sporty drive, its quick but not as quick as it looks. |

The 2003 Chrysler Crossfire demands attention with its hybrid conversion. With a mix of American and German design and technology it is certainly unique but not currently prosperous. If you like the noise of a sports car the Mercedes engine ticks that box and it has plenty of power to compliment it.
The Chrysler Crossfire is designed as a sports car but the handling does not reflect that. The Steering is not very clear and there is not the same level of confidence in handling corners as you would like, if you are driving on an uneven road the steering is quickly affected.
The interior of the Chrysler Crossfire has been designed in detail but there have been numerous complaints about the seats with regards to back support and also there is not as much room as you may like if you are a taller person.
Chrysler were on to a good thing when they used the Mercedes engine this way the Crossfire has some well know quality and reliability under the hood.
Used Chrysler Crossfire prices have held due to a Waiting list on new cars so now is a good time to get your hands on one. |
