2005 Black Base Coupe
2005 Black Base Coupe
Hi. I'm new here. I just ordered a 2005 Crossfire Coupe. My dad currently has a 2004 Coupe (I guess now referred to as the Limited), and I was wondering if you could fill me in on a few of the differences.
Most importantly, I want to know what, if anything, goes in place of the center console compartment and cup holder. I never liked the cup holder and am not sad to see it go, but I'm wondering if there is at least an armrest where the storage compartment was.
Are there any other things missing in the interior? What are the cloth seats like? I'm having trouble finding any interior shots of this model anywhere on the web, so any info or pictures would be great.
Thanks in advance, and I'm excited to be part of the community.

Base model only comes with a manual tranny (to bad the SRT6 dosen't)
Base model only comes in black
Base model has no exterior silver trim parts
Base model appears to have totally different seats (look at the headrests) and are not powered and have no heat
Base model has a four speaker CD stereo
Base model is suppose to have less sound insulation
Base model has a storage hole where the cup holder is on the limited version.
Base model has no tire pressure gage
My understanding is that the Base model does not have traction control
hope that helps,

BullFrog, how would you compare the comfort of the different seats?

the base and the srt 6 have a manual dimming inside rear view mirror.
Dan Root I know the amount of Mercedes componetry in this car however my limited has high back seats that dont look like any Mercedes Benz current model seat as far as look and design. The seats on the base coupe are identical in design and appearance to my aunts SLK 230 thats what i meant by that.
DG the comfort is actually not that different though the base coupe seat feels firmer and bolsters are way better and you can actually adjust the headrests. The limited seats are just more comfy and fuller and also their high back (no adjustable headrest) with nice soft leather doesnt kill your back on long hauls, but comfort doesnt always mean alertness so in that case the coupe cloth seats are better if you need to be alert and also for performance driving. Though i wish they would have a leather option.
And yeah thats a typo the self dimming mirror is not included in the base coupe.

Dave,
Right now I'm in Ann Arbor, I go to UM. Where do you live?
I don't have a delivery date yet, it was just ordered on Monday (though my stepmom's Pacifica is ready, ordered the same day).
Two Davids in MI waiting on Crossfires, what are the odds?
We should PM and meet up sometime!
