We say Quirky styling but an average drive - and the Crossfire looks cheap inside.Performance The Crossfire Convertible’s 3.2 V6 provides plenty of mid-range torque at 215bhp but it's not the most powerful engine. SRT6 has 300bhp.Emissions 27mpg and 250g/km CO2 is punitive at this level. Autobox further dents running costs.Driving Good body control on the Crossfire Convertible despite lack of roof.Feel Quiet in the cabin, with a nice throaty snarl from the engine. Wind noise well suppressed with roof down.Space Acceptable space upfront and in boot but nothing special. With the roof stowed boot space evaporates.Equipment Leather, cruise control, adjustable electric chairs, dual zone aircon.Price Running costs are not impressive at 23mpg. Entry-level Crossfire Convertibles are cheap but residuals won’t be good.Quality The Crossfire Convertible’s cabin materials look cheap and nasty.Safety Four bags, traction control, ABS.Pros Looks great, depending on your opinion.Cons Short on quality.Alternatives Audi TT, Honda S2000, Nissan 350Z Convertible, Mercedes SLK
