Pros & cons

PROS

Striking looks, Mercedes-Benz parts mean it's reliable

CONS

Plastic interior when rivals offer aluminium, badge lacks kudos, not particularly enjoyable to drive

Overview

If you need a two-seat convertible to get you noticed then the Crossfire Roadster is worth a look. What it lacks in badge image, it makes up for with visual appeal and relative exclusivity – as a used buy it can make a bargain open top sports car. However its by far the perfect package. The engine is sluggish, the gearboxes (both automatic and manual) are poor and it is dull to drive.

The cheap-feeling plasticky interior and cramped cockpit complete the underwhelming package.
