Hi, sold my c6 and now looking at a new toy. Like the looks of the crossfire but have a few questions. Keep reading about electrical problem and crank sensor, just how common is that? Also, do golf clubs fit in the trunk of the roadster, top up/down. Just how relaible are they, just want to enjoy not wrench, getting to old for that. Looking at an 05 limited roadster with about 31k on it. Thanks for aany info.

 

Clubs in the trunk
maybe a kids set


Best advise would be to have them in the passenger seat. If you try to force then into the trunk you dramatically increase you chance of breaking something. Probably the trunk divider bracket.
That bracket is super easy to break and extremely hard to locate used. They are available on this side (3D printed)

Might be a great idea to take your clubs to the car you’re looking to buy and try to put them into the trunk.

 

thanks for the reply

 

On the flip side, I am continuously amazed at how much trunk space there is in the coupe version. My Wife and I take ours to the grocery store, and will regularly put an entire shopping cart's worth of groceries in the back, and still have an unobstructed view out of the back window.

 

How do you do it? I find the shopping cart will not go through the hatch.😀

 

The golf clubs will NOT go into a roadster boot unless you can fold them in half. I carry my hockey bag and sticks in the passenger seat. As far as reliability, had the roadster since new and other than the fan recall and a loose shifr cable, not one problem at 60k. The SRT6 has been similarly reliable other than the boost pump under warranty, followed by a plenum plug that popped out and caused all sorts of codes. Otherwise no other issues at 40k.

I did have a 2007 that had to have the RCM module fixed. And I do not carry CPS' but occasionally wonder if it is worth it. I guess if I still drove it on long trips I would invest, but they are summer drivers that seldom go more than 50 miles from home (although I did take the roadster to Sault Ste Marie, 300 miles, last month).
