I just got my '06 Crossfire Limited and it's worth every penny I've spent on it so far. Anyone who thinks this thing is "shitty" is just a hater. Everywhere I got people are turning their heads and that definitely makes you feel pretty damn confident. Anyone with a decent paying job can afford this car and it will not break the bank. They are pretty damn rare and you probably won't run into many other ones on the road. The engine is going to last for at least 200k if maintained correctly. German quality for American pennies. Funny all the people hating on this car have never drove this car and are probably riding the bus everyday. Get real
+Christopher Bush its actually a r171 slk class mercedes with some parts of the mark ii w163 basicly its (formerly as daimlerchrysler)Daimler's american frankenstein you can use some parts from the w163 and r171
I think what I like most about the Crossfire is that even though it was introduced in 2004, it's exterior styling still looks remarkably modern to me. Almost a timeless design with flowing contours and sharp bodylines all in one car.
I have two - a 2005 Limited coupe for me and a 2005 convertible for the wife. I've been in the car biz for 20 years and this is one of the most underrated cars you can get. Super fun to drive, and very dependable. They definitely get looks while driving around town. If you don't like the looks? It's you personal choice.
I'm not a chrysler fan in fact i would associate the company with the label of tacky, but this marriage between Merc and chrysler brought the german mundane style out of the doldrums and so i view this vehicle as a certain classic vehicle.
Nice car, spoiled with an automatic. I have a 2004 6 speed manual coupe, and i love it. It is quick, stylish and reliable, so long as you keep up with the servicing etc.
Thanks for reviewing this car. When there's one on the road they always catch my eye. I've always been curious about this car and your review has given me a favorable opinion of it, although I always thought the front looked like a regular sedan and the back looked like a sports car. Like it wasn't sure what it wanted to be.
It is fitting to feature the Crossfire after the Bugatti since both are unique and in low numbers. I have owned an 04 for 3 years now, customized it using Mercedes components like the SLK32 and SLK55 AMG. Like every unique cars, you either love it or you hate it. If you get a chance to drive one, you most likely will fall in love. The Crossie is a big hit with the ladies BTW!
Haha you've made it even more tempting to get one. Can I ask a few questions: What Mercedes components did you customize it with? What's it like to drive? Around corners? Do you still have it?
Had a 06 Crossfire LTD Convertible silver blue, loved the car. Did car shows with it. except I'm 6' 3" not a good fit.. Now, I have a 2007 Jaguar XK, V-8, Convertible. 1 of 97 in Winter Gold, every option, this car fits me with room to spear. 47000 miles. Very fun car to drive, Have done about a dozen car shows. I never get tired of looking at it..
Wow, my dad has a 1999 Mercedes E-Class and looking at the interior of this car reminds me so much of it because of all the switches, and even the chime it makes when you insert the key.
Very nice introduction to the CrossFire. I have a 2004 CrossFire, a 1948 Dodge and a Thunderbird. If it fits your personality it’s a great fit! Or give yourself a lift and own a Crossfire and have some fun and drive it like you stole it!
There's only four in my state. Whenever I take my red one to the city and park it in the back of the Walmart parking lot, when I return with my groceries I've got one or two people taking photos of it and asking me a thousand questions. Phheewww!
What a good vid, you are the first one, for me, who explain the w/s selecter by the automatique shifter, nice details, and also what a nice house if you sell a car there its a winner!
@@PeRRXX Not a lot of power but certainly more than enough for the average driver. Mercedes M112 3.2L V6 with 722.6 5-speed automatic is a very smooth, refined and reliable powertrain combo. Had good low-end torque as well. If you want big power you can always go with SRT-6 model.
When people have legit opinions the dumbasses like yourself seem to make the TG reference all too often. I never saws Jeremy Clarkson's review of this car and I didn't need to in order to know that it's not up to par. The only thing this car has going for it is the MB powertrain and handling but it's still lacking.
william9545 The styling and the fact that Chrysler kept cranking out shit. Only lately have they been serious and too bad a near bankruptcy had to teach them a lesson, if it were up to me I would have never bailed them out and let that company fall.
they paid back what they owed in like 3 years, and their new cars are much better than anything they've ever made. I agree their quality used to be lower but post bailout it's been great. Anyway the styling is subjective and all the mechanical components from the car were from the last gen SLK, do you think that car is shit? Because it's just an SLK with a chrysler badge.
william9545 The SLK at that time wasn't all that. It was fun to drive but the quality lacked as it did in many other Benzes of that era. That's no longer an issue but last time I remember MB didn't need taxpayer's money to return to form. MB also didn't act as arrogant as the executives at Chrysler did.
Man I saw it on carguru for 3,000 for one of these bad boys and I was like man they must be a peace of junk, I figured it looked really nice but maybe broke down a lot or something, but now I’ve come to learn it’s good inside and out, can’t wait until I have enough to get one!
Great review kyle. I got a question for you. You ever thought about exploring and filming some of the auto shows that come around every year. Like the new york auto show or the LA auto show?

I have the same exact 2004 I bought in 2005 as a leftover. The worst part over the years has been the Chrysler trim failures. Mechanically the engine and drive train have been problem free (knock on wood).
chello70 Don't listen to the haters... All that matters is what you think of the car. I owned a 2006 Crossfire Limited Coupe 6 speed for over five years, and put almost 100,000 trouble free miles on that car, and I absolutely loved it! Best handling and stopping car I've ever owned! It was pretty quick too. I was able to run a best of 14.62 @ 97.40 with it through the 1/4 mile, which beat the magazines time when it had about 30k miles on it. I still have the time slip. It's no race car obviously, but for the money, especially now, you get one hell of a fun car with a 6 speed manual and rwd :) The only mod I did to mine was add a Crossfire SRT-6 factory spoiler and shut off the power factory spoiler. It looked so much better with the SRT-6 spoiler on it in my opinion. I hope you buy one man. Best of luck if you do. -Chris
Could you do a review on a 2007 chrysler pacifica with navigation. I love your videos and have been a subscriber from the beginning keep up the good work.
Hey kyle. Im noticing some other youtubers copying your exact same style in reviewing cars. Word for word smh. Just comes to show you know how to do this. Keep em cars rollin.
when the bird chirped at the same time you put the key in the ignition , i thought what a terrible sounding chime that is , lol these are a kinda unique cool car . a friend of mine has one and i thought it was fun to ride in .
Hey Kyle. Great vid as always. I must say though, you didn't sound like you really wanted to do this vid. Just judging by the tone of your voice. Well, you do put out lot of videos! Much more than your competition, so, it must take its toll occasionally. Anyway, thanks for the premium entertainment!
Hey kyle great review! anyways I'm thinking of buying a crossfire like this with 50,000 miles, or a 1989 corvette with 68,000 miles. Which would you recommend?
+Rafael Rodriguez Coming from a ml55 owner, you should actually learn bout this car.... Did you know this v6 is a Mercedes motor?, Did you know this v6 takes 12 spark plugs?, etc
This is maybe the best Mercedes you can buy. It combines the reliabilty of the Mercedes SLK with the high quality body work by Karmann. I would go for a manual!
Though this won’t live up to the legacy that the Prowler has, I do find these unique and quite good looking even in the hardtop form. If I had to pick between an SRT-6 Crossfire and a Prowler, I’d really have a hard time picking. At least with this you don’t have to tow your trunk behind you.
Cool video, but two points of clarification for you ... #1: I believe that interior color was called Brick, not Canyon. And #2: The first product to come out of the Diamler/Chrysler merger was the 2002 Dodge Ram I have sitting in my driveway ;) Cool video though!
***** lol I agree! I'm actually surprised the crossfire has that deep of roots with the SLK, I never knew that! Anyways great video Kyle and I appreciate your quick response:)
All I can think about with the Crossfire is my aunt's '99 ML320.. Same exact engine, and many of the same interior components, right down to the chime.
I’m a new owner of a 29k original miles. 2005 silver Sapphire Blue Metallic Limited Roadster. Love this thing. Can’t quit watching these videos
I'm looking at a 70k miles on Monday. Any advice? How much were you able to get it for? They're asking 10.3k for the 70k miles 2006

What would you rate reliability, & do you daily drive it ?
I drive mine daily, reliable as the day I got it. Obviously it's a bit of a niche car so if you want cup holders you better get a different car lol
Christopher Bush Very well put sir, very well put!
haha, cup holders,
I think what I like most about the Crossfire is that even though it was introduced in 2004, it's exterior styling still looks remarkably modern to me. Almost a timeless design with flowing contours and sharp bodylines all in one car.

Mercedes M112 V6 and 722.6 combo is one of the best ever made. Love the sound of these too. Love that whine at 2:19
love my 2006 Limited 6 speed Gunmetal grey with only 31,700 miles. Still get lot of compliments
How is it so far?
I heard the Mercedes signature beeping when you started it up
Thenyster that’s because it is a Mercedes
this car also has Mercedes M112 engine and 722.6 automatic transmission
I'm not a big Chrysler buff but I've always kinda liked this car.
If there was ever a modern-day Chrysler I'd want, it will be this
For some reason i love this car seriously considering this for my first car
As soon as he turns the key and the sounds of the birds start to tweet, I thought it was the car loool.
H4M24UK sameee lolololol
...and still waiting for you to play with the rear spoiler...!
i just bought 1 for 4200 cash 86 thousand miles with 1 owner no accidents and new tires and suspension 😍😍😍
i just found one for 3995 with 96,000, i'm about to jump on! one owner garage kept, mint condition!
@@frenchweewee4444 nice i get mine saturday. 4800$ 90000km. happy :) only 1 woman drive it before.
I am looking at one friday $3200 83k miles looks good from the pics
I want one! Have a chance to buy one for $8.300. 60,000 miles, standard edition, but seems worth it!!
Dave C u paid to much
Nice car, spoiled with an automatic. I have a 2004 6 speed manual coupe, and i love it. It is quick, stylish and reliable, so long as you keep up with the servicing etc.

Jeremy Clarkson didn't like it, we know. Anyway I mean... So does a Porsche!
h8ers
Wow that is a very clean ride. The interior is much nicer than I expected.
Your review of the Crossfire a few years back is what made me buy one! Glad to see you make a new one! I love your reviews and my Crossfire! (:
Hiii,
How is it so far?
@@LovebelowPrince24 I still have it and love it! Still turning heads and getting questions asking what it is :)
@@Phil2Drei ok thank you so much for replying. I really that appreciate that ! . So next month I’m go shopping for one !
Incredibly I was looking for a review from you on this car and the "new" thunderbird recently and now both are here.. thanks!
You can pick those up for dirt cheap nowadays - get the SRT6 supercharged one, basically an SLK AMG
Which of that era, were complete junk.
The trolls want to hate on the Crossfire so much they bash Mercedes-Benz to do it. ; )
hartsickdisciple youre a moron
Hi,
I want to get this car next month
Is it worth buying ? Pls lmk thanks
not anymore
All the people who don't like this car try to recite Jeremy Clarkson...

Cade Wiggins lmao pathetic. My Lexus SC430 has 270,000 miles.
+DIAMLER pathetic human. my dodge caravan has 291,000 miles

That engine note reminded me of my Mercedes ML320 that I used to have. Same engine and transmission. A good vehicle.

These are an absolute steal used nowadays. Very affordable.
Though, this isn't my style, I always thought these were cool little cars!
Man, a lot of the sounds and switches are right out of my '98 Mercedes E320
thats because this is just a rebodied SLK
I have the same exact 2004 I bought in 2005 as a leftover. The worst part over the years has been the Chrysler trim failures. Mechanically the engine and drive train have been problem free (knock on wood).
So do u take it to Chrysler or Mercedes when u need work done ??
What a beauty! I'm getting one soon!

Could you do a review on a 2007 chrysler pacifica with navigation. I love your videos and have been a subscriber from the beginning keep up the good work.
Best Sports Car Ever
I like the rear end of this chrysler. Maybe its just a polarizing car
I really wish you wouldn't do voice overs inside the car. I actually want to hear what the car sounds like.
This is lovely car and rare it annoys me that I have to drive and overtake Ausdi to prove its performance as they don't understand how fast it is?
My cousin just purchased a white one and i’m ready to do the same thing because this car is awesome 🤩
I think Saabkyle04 should turn comments off.
Its either gtav players, little kids or turds who cant afford a laptop or pc over 350$
Hi, don't make fun of the poor!

Or all of the above

XKR1200 yes
Do you mind doing a review on the Kia Amanti since the Cadenza and K900 will both be out? Also a 1966 or 1967 Buick Riviera would be great.
Basically an slk, which was the reason it was discontinued due to lower sales on the slk.
I recognise the W/S button on the transmission from my 2000 W210 E class E430 merc

when the bird chirped at the same time you put the key in the ignition , i thought what a terrible sounding chime that is , lol these are a kinda unique cool car . a friend of mine has one and i thought it was fun to ride in .
Hello, i did ask for this review last year, thank you kyle. :)
Have you considered doing a BMW i8 review in due time whenever it is available?
I have 6 feet, i dont know if i’d fit in it. Some experiences? Thanks
I just got one with 30k miles and manual and it’s so fun
Hey Kyle. Great vid as always. I must say though, you didn't sound like you really wanted to do this vid. Just judging by the tone of your voice. Well, you do put out lot of videos! Much more than your competition, so, it must take its toll occasionally. Anyway, thanks for the premium entertainment!
I actually love the styling of the crossfire, Idk
Hey kyle great review! anyways I'm thinking of buying a crossfire like this with 50,000 miles, or a 1989 corvette with 68,000 miles. Which would you recommend?
Omg the door sounded horrible when he closed it @13:25
Uploaded on my birthday bro!!!
so this is soon to be my first car, is it to much or not? I absolutely love it as my first car
i bought mine for $14,000 (mine was the SRT-6) and i loved it! It rarely ever broke down and i got all the chicks, ha lol
+Rafael Rodriguez Coming from a ml55 owner, you should actually learn bout this car.... Did you know this v6 is a Mercedes motor?, Did you know this v6 takes 12 spark plugs?, etc
I miss my crossfire. =( Great video Kyle.
This is maybe the best Mercedes you can buy. It combines the reliabilty of the Mercedes SLK with the high quality body work by Karmann. I would go for a manual!
Wow i didn't know ur dad owned a dealer ship! Now that"s cool
My family Doctor has one, keeps it in perfect condition!!
Kyle is a doctor as well. Maybe He should get one of those :)
cod1mp
They aren't bad... powerful and sexy!
TheSpritz0 It's ugly. You have to be blind and stupid to say that it is "sexy"
No offence ***** if you like it. It's my own opinion.
MichaelB450
For one guy this car is sexy and for another it is not. It is a matter of taste.
cod1mp
Just like our taste in women, some guys love certain chicks, for others they seem like diggity dogs!
I love looking at this car and noticing all the interior components are identical to the ones on my 2001 ML430 hahah
If I bought this car for everyday use would it stay together for a bit?
Though this won’t live up to the legacy that the Prowler has, I do find these unique and quite good looking even in the hardtop form. If I had to pick between an SRT-6 Crossfire and a Prowler, I’d really have a hard time picking. At least with this you don’t have to tow your trunk behind you.
why are you not uploading the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe review??!!
Hey Kyle, love the videos. Could you possibly do the 2013-14 Range Rover Vouge?
Cool video, but two points of clarification for you ... #1: I believe that interior color was called Brick, not Canyon. And #2: The first product to come out of the Diamler/Chrysler merger was the 2002 Dodge Ram I have sitting in my driveway ;)
Cool video though!
Found one for 3,000 on facebook. Buyer doesn't list anything besides saying it runs great but is missing a few interior panels. Worth checking out?
Kyle,how many price of crossfire?
Just wondering, is this basically just a Redone SLK?
Pretty much....
Nice Sound!
This was a great looking car!
This car was in prison break but blue, I thought it looked awesome
Nice overview..didnt know i had a change compartment..lol
i find it funny that this cars name is crossfire and the opinions on it are so contrasting
Controversy between chrylser executives is actually part of the reason its called "crossfire" i believe
Nevet liked those. But thst Interior color conbo looks really good
Can you try to find a 2013 lexus rx 350 I would like to see that
I had the same one , same color..I miss it , but when my daughter was born had to get rid of it
What is the color code for this car. I need to paint mine and i love the color
So which do you like more the crossfire or a Nissan 350Z? My friend and I were actually discussing this the other day, I drive a 350z *****
I would choose the 350Z probably. It's more of a sports car in my opinion.
***** lol I agree! I'm actually surprised the crossfire has that deep of roots with the SLK, I never knew that! Anyways great video Kyle and I appreciate your quick response:)
Parker Perry You're welcome :)
All I can think about with the Crossfire is my aunt's '99 ML320.. Same exact engine, and many of the same interior components, right down to the chime.
Like no joke, that is what I am thinking about too. Only difference is is the year, my mom's ML 320 is a 2000 model but same every thing.
The Crossfire is basically a 1990s Mercedes SLK dressed up in a Chrysler concept body from a decade later. I personally love it.
I remember when these first came out!
So does this have an active aerodynamic wing?
Very cool! My favorite Chrysler!
