I always liked these cars, but they don't get any love. Anybody ever had one, or drove one ?

Member Aprilspink72Cuda has one. There is no hope of me driving it at 6' 2".

LOVE the Crossfire, it's strange look makes it more attractive to me. I would love to own one.

A friends dad had one he loved it but had some issues with a harness at a connection somewhere in the car. The car would not start sometimes, a new harness was expensive so they modified something can't remember what. Not sure if it was a common issue or a one off.

I always liked them too. My wife's car is an SLK though and I'm not at all crazy about it so I don't want to chance a Crossfire.

Whats wrong with it ? The SLK I mean.

It's got about 25,000 miles on it. Squeeks, rattles, oil leaks, strange electrical gremlins. She's always wanted one but I'll be getting rid of it before the warranty runs out for sure. Oh and to be sure the warranty will be valid we get it serviced at MB, so that is a $1,000 oil change usually. Not my cup of tea,

Over rated & Ugly , only $1000 for an oil change

I had no idea what that meant so I googled it....... I'll send you the bill for a new keyboard.... old one has coffee spit all over it!

Funny I was just thinking ...meh it's not a bad looking car, personally it's in the same category as a 65 Mustang = womens car, men not so much.

I'm not a fan. I think it's appeal is like the AMC gremlin. Most don't care for it, a small group thinks they have a nice, relatively rare/uncommon car.

I think the SRT-6 version is kinda cool, 330hp go-cart
