Im thinking of buying a 2005 crossfire convt but have been reading that they are hard to get into. im 73 and 235lbs and am wondering if this might be a bad car for me. i love the looks and have always liked them . please help do you think this might be to small for me

 

Perhaps you can find one near Barrington ?? and try it on for size.

 

im trying to find a dealer that has one

 

Here's additional feedback from others: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ior-space.html

 

I'm 76, 6' tall but my weight is 180 lbs. If your in good physical condition including your knees , go for it. The pleasure of driving the car is even worth losing a few pounds . No offense intended

 

So height, leg length would be the issue from someone who is square. 5'6" 195
Beefy😎. So sit in with top up, seat all the way back. It's stiff suspension, low to the ground. The most fun you can have. You will love it or it won't be for you. I've had mine a year, Drive it evening and weekends.*long trips depends on what you are doing It's not a sedan, it a sports car. No trunck space can't take it and her luggage. So take her and have some fun, the hell with the luggage!

Iam 75 and 235#, but i lowered my seat for head room, driving is fine. Woody

 

The Roadster has no headroom issues.

 

I am 6'1 and 245 and love it once in lots of room for long trips. not that hard to get in.

 

I'm 74" (6ft 2in.) and weigh in the 250 range, and I fit just fine in my 2004 Coupe.

It will need to be a limited with adjustable seats. I have the seat adjusted all the way down and all the way back against the bulkhead. I fit perfectly, pedals and clutch, arm length etc. is great.

As for head room, even with a hat on, I don't touch the headliner in a natural seating position. But If I hit a bump while driving, I may bounce a bit and just graze the head liner. To prevent that, you will get into the habit for keeping your head forward slightly of your neck, "hunching" slightly. This is a common technique used by tall guys in small sporty cars, it's not uncomfortable and you will never touch the headliner even on the hardest roads.

 

I am 6’ tall and 200lbs, I am quite comfortable after I get in and get settled. My complaint is that after driving for a while I would like to reposition my self but find nowhere to go. I had to stop occasionally on long trips to get out and stretch. We have started trailering the cars on long trips and find the travel more enjoyable, and keeps the long trip miles off the car.

 

first , google crossfire for sale near me, and check craigslist . dealers , most of them don't know what a crossfire is .
the roadster has lots more than a coupe . good luck.
