Chrysler Crossfire Roadster Auto 2005

My wife, who is not into cars, spotted a crossfire convertible whilst out walking the dogs and could not stop talking about it. I was not sure they did a drop top so we had a look on the internet. Love at first sight, gunmettal grey auto, FSH 35k miles, bought it without inspecting it as it was 200 miles away, sent a mate and his recovery truck to collect it. Before it arrived I watched the top gear report on the crossfire and thought what the hell have I done? Clarkson slates the car, (he tested the coupe). We have now had it 2 weeks and still can’t stop talking about it, my wife who drives out of necessity now loves driving it, very underated car for little money, gets lots of positive comments and turns heads. Bought as a weekend fun car as it is a bit impractical to use every day. We are both chuffed to bits with the cute and quirky looking gem. Build quality and finish seems very good, cruise control is ace, exhaust note is perfect, stereo kicks like a sub woofer system, I could go on. Only bad point is rear visibility when reversing but learn to trust the parking sensors (if fitted). I’m fitting a 3.5 inch screen with colour camera very soon. If you like the looks then test drive an auto and I bet you will have to have one. Any crossfire owners wanting a chat contact paul@subzero.karoo.co.uk or please advise if there is an owners club.
