Well I just bought my Crossfire and am loving every minute of it. I traded in a 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT 5-speed with a decent little bit of work done and loved every minute of that car until I lost 2nd gear in the Getrag 5-speed and every quote for repair was between $3,000 to $4500. The Crossfire is like showroom new.

I first saw the Crossfire at the Atlanta auto show in 2004 and fell in love with it. It is something I didn't think I'd be able to afford for quite a long time but that proved to be wrong.

Mine is a:

-2006 Coupe, Limited - Inferno Red
-6 speed
-21,000 miles

I think my PT GT was nearly, if not as fast as the Crossfire up to about 70mph but after that the Crossfire just stomps it. Also the Crossfire is overall MUCH more fun to drive. Of course the Crossfire isn't nearly as utilitarian, but I can live with it!

Here are some obligatory pics: (Edit: the 1957 Chevrolet is mine also)

Here is what I traded in. I will miss it a bit.

Let me be the first to say CONGRATS!!!

I too had a PT Cruiser not a GT. It takes some getting use to not being able to haul any and everything but ..... so worth it.

Good looking car you have there.

 

Congratulations, and welcome aboard. You will love your car more every day...

 

Ha! I've still got my PT Turbo - sitting right next to the Crossfire in garage as we speak, er, type.


scrible, welcome to the forum - I saw your thread on PTCrew about the tranny going POP! Lousy way to get a Crossfire I suppose, but hey, you got a Crossfire!! I believe this makes three of us from PTCrew who have joined over here. I should get a commission or something.

 

Yeah Mike, I remember quite a while ago when you bought your Crossfire reading how ecstatic you were about it. I will miss the PT, but this car is so much more fun to drive. The PT actually made my back hurt on trips of more than 100 miles. I drove the Crossfire 300 miles yesterday and my back felt GREAT!

 

Congrats ! i wish i had a 6 speed

 

Well I wish I had the '57 Chev (my sister in law has one though)

but at least I've got my Crossfire - and I get to drive it everyday!

Welcome to the team - you won't regret it

 

Congrats and welcome, good luck with the car.

 

PT FOR A XF You did the right thing ,,,Congrats and Welcome

 

This must be a trend, I also traded my '04 Dream Cruiser GT 5 Speed for my '07 6 speed Crossfire.
Congrats and welcome to the "Perm-a-grin Club"

 

FP is right.. I've had mine for a little over a month and the Grin hasn't worn off my face.. In fact it's gotten bigger!

And of course Red is the SEXIEST colour!

Congrats! It looks like a clean one.

 

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
See that you are already familiar with car forums. That's a good thing!
So if you can get yourself outta the driver's seat long enough, take a look around and get familiar with your new car and the rest of us here on the forum.

"See" ya on the forum!

 

I would LOVE to go the meet up and run some laps this weekend but unfortunately I have other obligations. Next year!
