2008 Chrysler Crossfire Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Chrysler Crossfire:

Suspension is pure Mercedes, upper and lower A-arms in front and a five-link independent rear.

-- AutoWeek

The setup felt quite nimble and even fun around the auto-cross course.

-- AutoWeek

On the road, the convertible feels softer and more supple than a hard-core sports car, but it has enough firmness to damp body motions as well as allow a little rough-road feedback into the wheel.

-- Car and Driver

While the Crossfire's appeal is tilted heavily in favor of its striking looks, that's not to say there aren't competent mechanicals beneath the sexy skin.

-- Road & Track

There are few, if any, amenities that the Crossfire lacks.

What reviewers liked least about the Chrysler Crossfire:

While we still consider it an attractive vehicle to look at, the Chrysler Crossfire is simply outclassed by other vehicles in terms of luxury, brand cachet and/or performance.

-- Automobile

...the Crossfire's steering response is lackluster. This is mostly due to the use of the previous [Mercedes-Benz] SLK's [the car upon which the Crossfire is based] less-than-precise recirculating-ball steering, which is inherently less accurate than a rack-and-pinion setup.

-- Edmunds.com

Best one-liner about the Chrysler Crossfire:

The Crossfire is the sportiest Chrysler ever.
