    I have the keys to a 2007 Chrysler Crossfire manual and the question I have is, why would they stop making these?!
    I used to work for Chrysler selling these when they first came out and am now missing them when I see them and am wondering if you are too? But it would seem by the lack of fun little cars in the line up, that Chrysler says no to anyone missing them and won't be making a comeback.
    I will take us down memory lane as we discuss what this beautiful little 2door RWD GT manual cruiser was all about and if they should bring it back out.
    So let's go!
    *Please note that I am human and could be wrong on some of my “facts”, but still they give a good idea if considering the vehicle in your shopping.
    I've borrowed this vehicle from Oxford Dodge Chrysler in London Ontario

    I remember when this thing first came out I thought it was great. I was always a fan of the SLK so when Chrysler took those bones and added a sleek coupe body to it and even offered the SLK's 6-speed (albeit, not on the SRT6), it seemed like a great GT value proposition. Great car, excellent review and thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with it!

    I’m looking at a few of these with low miles (60k) are you saying this would be a bad daily driver? Reliability wise? Not how practical it is as far as space just reliability?

    • @Neutralreviews
      @Neutralreviews  4 місяці тому +1

      Good question. Yes, I meant more that for a lot of people like myself it would not make a practical daily driver. At least with my BRZ or buddy's Mustang we can make work because of the folding backseats. Nothing conveniently goes in lol but I've had 3 uncomfortable adults and a kid in a child seat with a trunk full of groceries and tools, or another time 4 tires, tools and a second person. Whereas, with the Crossfire and ND2 Miata I daydream of lol, you just can't do any of that same daily stuff I can crease, crumple and cram into mine. I'm not sure how reliable they are or how easy/expensive to fix. I can say only say that I was blown away at how new it felt. As I was driving to the shoot location 30min away I kept thinking "oh right this thing is 17 years old and has 50,000km on it", because it felt as tight and maneuverable as any new car I get to test. I think I remember people saying that thus generation of SLK were pretty good but I'd definitely do your research (which I'm sure you are anyway).
