An excellent review!

 

Nice to see some positive press for a change.

 

Excellent review. There should have been more like this over the past few years. But the model reviewed is an '05; there won't be any '06's for the US market.

 

The article was a bit confusing on the '05 vs '06 model. The details given were alluding to an '06, but I knew that they didn't make an '06. Oh well...we know that the car rocks! Now, it's nice to have our opinions validated!

 

It was interesting to see he quoted 0 - 60 mph figures of 8 seconds for the standard car whereas here in the UK the 215 bhp car is quoted as 0 - 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.

 

~ the US cars are 0 to 60 in the 6.5 range as well... must of been a misprint.

 

Its about time! I will say I've been baffled that this car has not gotten better press! I mean, its by far the BEST car I have ever owned, even with some of the glitches I have had with the engine! I can't wait to see what Chrysler changes on this car down the road... I am hooked!

 

You can simply assume that this writer for a local paper did not run instrumented acceleration test on any of the Crossfires he drove, hence the erroneous 0-60 times.

 

Neither have I, but I can read the manufacturers data.

 

that's how i feel. i test drove my friends limited convertible and the test drove srt6. well i had to go for the srt6. more than likely i wouldn't have gotten this car if it wasn't for the srt6. i wanted a sports car and the base just doesn't cut it for me. also he's a little off on the 0-100 time. it doesn't not take 16 seconds to go from 0-100. it took me 13 seconds to get to 107.
