Economy
Value
£38.000? Go Ahead and Be Very Happy, Buying a Vauxhall Monaro VXR 5.7 V8 for £33.000. But, if you are a Complete Poser then Go ahead and Buy the Crossfire. Remember though, Chrsyler Badge has No Prestige at all.
Costs
It needs a Tanker Truck behind all the time. This Thing eats Fuel: Average 20 Mpg. Parts are also Very Expensive.

On the road
Driving
The brakes are Lousy, steering lacks in feel and the suspension is so soft, that when you run over a bump, the whole car starts to pitch wallow and, because the suspension is so soft, it leans over around Corners on its door handles.
Performance
Slow off the line, sluggish acceleration, gearbox is notchy and clutch is sticky. The traction control will interfer every time. If this is what Americans calls Sporty, than a Citroen Saxo VTS is a supercar!

Living with it
Reliability
Surprinsigly Reliable for an American Car. The Reason is Simple: It's Built in Germany and Not for the Lazy and Fat Hands of the Americans. Parts however, are hard to find because, most of them come from America and some from Germany.
Image
Everybody will point at you and Says How Monumentally Stupid you Look Like inside of it. Jeremy Clarkson compared it to a Dog doing a Poo and it really Looks like a Dog doing a Poo. It really is one Ugly Thing. Even in Black still No Beauty.
Comfort
Seats are Hard and Lack of Lateral Support. There is no Space for the Left Leg, Not Enough Headroom. The Back Seat is rubbish, The Steering is Too Big and the Pedals are too Close Together. Not to mention, the Woeful Visibility and Boot Size is small!

Security and Service
Security
It has Immobilisier, Deadlocks and Remote Control Alarm. Insurance is Reasonable. But who would steal such Hideous Thing?
Service
When I went to back to give the Car to the Dealer, the Salesman, tried every way to convince me to buy, but My Wife said: No, Thanks! Now Let's Go before, you make something Stupid!"" But, the Chrysler Dealer in Manchester was Helpful.
