What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

For It's got alluring looks, strong performance and fantastic grip

Against It's expensive to run, has dull steering, a poor ride, and rear visibility is bad

Verdict Its looks and V6 engine are great, but its numb steering and poor ride are not

Go for… 3.2 V6

Avoid… SRT-6

Chrysler Crossfire Roadster
  • 1. A replacement hood will cost a four-figure sum if the material is ripped, frayed or covered in mildew
  • 2. Electric seat adjusters might expire expensively after a few years
  • 3. The 3.2-litre V6 engine promises to be tough and long-lived if serviced correctly
  • 4. The firm suspension gives a ride that's far too hard for some
  • 5. The boot is awkwardly shaped and the hood folds into it, robbing most of its space
