Hi all...
It's been a while since I posted last...Still don't own one...But have test driven one. (Black, Auto)

Here are my impressions:

Handling in all aspects; Superb!
Acceleration; Superb!
Interior Quietness; Superb!
Sound system; magnificent!
Quality of materials and craftsmanship, inside and out; Superb!
Engine sound at idle and throttled up; Awesome!
Styling and gadgetry: Excellent!

Driver's comfort and roominess; The absolute worst vehicle I've ever been crammed into!!!!...Headroom sucked!!! I could not sit up straight without hitting the headliner...Leg room so cramped, my kness rubbed on the steering wheel. I rubbed shoulders with the sales woman, literally.
The Seats and steering wheel were set to their full out extremes!

I'm 6'3''/200lbs...IMO, this interior was meant for a 5'5" tall petite person only!!!...Anyone larger or taller, will be familiar with what a sardine must feel like. This car is going to appeal to a very narrow margin of buyers I'm afraid...And they are already begining to discount them here in Oklahoma for the lack of sales. 2 on the road so far here, 15 on the lot with the one of dealers I visited...Sticker Priced at $35,000 as fully loaded.

I really liked the car overall, but the lack of room is going to deter me from buying I'm afraid. :cry:

 

WellI don't think I'd agree with the quality of interior materials. This could use substantial improvement.

As for "sardine" fit, I'm a pretty big guy but only 5'11''. Headroom and legroom fine and width was ok for me , whereas a lot of other cars felt tight, widthwise.

Although most reviews say 6'2'' is max I met a guy yesterday who say there wasn't enough headroom for him (6'1'').

Sorry to hear it didn't fit you better, it's a fun ride.

 

Had my Crossfire for nearly four months now and I love it! Yes, this vehicle as for most sport car/coupes are not for everyone especially for those tall and large. At 6', 170# I fit perfectly in my Crossfire..comfortably cocooned as its designed to. I have plenty of clearance all around. Now, if I were 6'3" @ 200# I would go for larger coupes less exotic.

 

I have to agree. At 5 10 165 - fits me like a glove. The seats grip you on the sides so if you are wide bodied this car may not be for you. Dont know another car for the money that drives as well or looks 1/2 as good doing it. Feels like a real excotic - i try telling myself its not really a chrysler.

 

I am 6'3 200 and it is a lttle tight but the ride, the looks, the fun make it worthwhile I had a yukon before and I was really comfortable but no fun at all! No one ever came up to my Yukon and said Damn what is that? That is cool!

 

At 6', 200 lbs I am very comfortable operating my X-fire. Every driver sits in the vehicle differently.

 

I'm 6 foot and 220 pounds. It fits me fine. Very comfortable.

 

I have to add to the group that says the compartment is comfortable.

I've had a couple of sports and sporty cars in the past and a good, snug fit goes a long way when you're doing autocross or taking corners at high speeds. You don't really want all that elbow room so that you can get thrown around by a real demonstration of Physics 101.

Cars like the Crossfire aren't for everyone, that's for sure.

 

6' 4" 220 and i thought it was comfortable :roll:
