Just thought I'd put them all in one list... keep 'em comin'.

Convenience: Cabin Air Filtration System - Fresh Clean Filtered Air inside Cabin helps cut down on cabin dust.

Convenience: Recirculation Button - Prevents outside air (dust and odors) from entering your vehicles cabin.

Convenience: REST position on the A/C button – blows air for 20 min. while car is turned off.

Convenience: Locking Gas Door, on both coupes and roadsters.

Convenience: The center console locks (roadsters only).

Convenience: Speed Sensitive Wipers - Wipers will change from normal mode to intermittent mode while stopped to prevent the wipers from going across a dry windshield.

Convenience: Integrated Key Remote - The key and remote are one piece. The key flips out of the remote like a switchblade.

Convenience: Telescoping Steering Wheel.


Convenience: Automatic darkening rear view mirror ('04 models only).

Convenience: Door pockets.

Convenience: Radio can be operated without key.

Convenience: Manual override switch for the Auto Rear Spoiler (not on SRT), so you can put it up and leave it up!

Convenience: Rear window defroster on and the outside rear view mirrors defrost and also heated washer fluid (heated it to 165 degrees).

Convenience: The Roadsters actually have a decent trunk (especially with the top up).

Convenience: Dual climate temperature controls.

Convenience: Heated seats.

Convenience: Dual 'one touch down' power windows.

Convenience: The HomeLink Universal Transceiver - replaces up to three remote controls (hand-held transmitters) that operate devices such as garage door openers, motorized
gates, or home lighting. The transceiver triggers these devices at the push of a button. The transceiver operates off your vehicle’s battery and charging system: no batteries are needed.

Convenience: Umbrella Hook. Your Crossfire is equipped with an umbrella hook. This
feature is located behind and between the two seats, just above the map pocket.

Convenience: You can turn on the fog/driving lights without the headlights on.

Convenience: Floor mats have snap anchors so they don't slide around.

Convenience: You can turn off the dome light completely via a sliding the dome light switch to the off position - so when you open the door, it will not come on. Nor will the cargo area light.

Convenience: Then there is the worlds best ashtray with coin holder hidden under the front cover of the ash tray

Convenience: Not one but two vanity mirror sliding covers.

Convenience: Roadster Top Down switch to raise and lower both windows together at the same time

Convenience: Roadsters only when you turn the Roof Latch to unhook and lower the rag-top roof...both windows lower automatically.

Serviceability: Top accessible oil filter element - that is easily removed without mess.

Serviceability: Light Outage Indicator With the key in the ignition switch turned to the ON/RUN position, an indicator light comes on. It should go out when the engine is running. If the indicator light does not go out after starting the engine, or if it comes on while driving, it indicates a failure in the parking light, taillight, stoplight, or low beam headlight. The indicator light will come on when the exterior light fails. If a brake light fails, the light outage indicator will come on when applying the brake and stays on until the engine is turned off.


Serviceability: Tire Pressure Monitoring System - A light will illuminate on the dash if the tire pressure is too low. It shouldn't replace your own checking but it helps.

Serviceability: Flexible Service System - Helps you keep track of when service is due and what service is due.

Serviceability: Oil Level Sensor - Alerts you when the oil level is too high or low.

Serviceability: Anti Tow Away Alarm - When engaged if someone tries to tow the car the alarm will go off and the lights will start to flash.

Safety: Electronic Stability Program (ESP) - The ESP enhances directional control and reduces driving wheel spin of the vehicle under various driving conditions. (The ESP system corrects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying brakes to the appropriate wheel. Engine torque is also limited. The ESP warning light, located in the instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the wheels begin to spin.)

Safety: Deck lid Internal Emergency Release. That is for some reason that you find yourself stuck in the trunk GLOWS in the dark.

Safety: Night Security Illumination - For added security when exiting the vehicle after driving with the exterior lights on, the lights will switch on again for approximately 30 seconds after closing the last door. The lights-on timing can be changed at your authorized dealer.

Safety: The headlight switch also features a European marker light setting where you can turn on the marker/running lights on one side or the other of the car. This is for when you are pulled on the side of the road at night (besides the hazard lights)

Safety: Polite headlights - the top of the beam is cut of.

Safety: Plus it has that little strap on the back of the passenger headrest for a child seat strap

Performance: Mercedes Benz M112 V6 Engine - one of the most advanced V6 production engines on the planet (produces 215 hp and 229 lbs ft tq non-supercharged).

Performance: Automatic Transmission Program mode selector switch - The transmission is provided with a selector switch for Standard “S” and Winter/Wet “W” (snow and ice) program modes.

Performance: Full independent front and rear suspension.

The design is timeless, gorgeous and gothic; it will never be dated or go out of style with those who appreciate fine automotive art.

Besides the great looks, and excellent handling, personally I think one of the best "features" I've found when it comes to owning this car is the great members on this web site.
You couldn't ask for a better support system.

 

Just one more thing, I DO like how the cigarette lighter collapses to be less intrusive, a small but classy feature.
Just yesterday at a convenience store an elderly woman asked what it was I was driving, said she LOVED the looks and commented how her husband is a car guy and always asking, 'do you like that one? do you like this one?', she said not too many cars are to her liking, but she LOVED the styling of my car.

 

The BEST feature is the perpetual SMILE that comes with it. And of course... the Crossfire Forum.

And I must agree... It corners real good!!

 

Yea, people at my work make fun of me and say I probably smile the whole time I'm driving, and its true.

 

Well it seems everyone has just about everything covered already...
I like the blood groves on the hood.

I like the 20 gig hard drive navigation-ipod controller and back up camera...Oh, sorry I forgot I added that, It just looks like it should come that way...LOL.

 

That is what I like best among the best features of crossfire.
Its capability of us getting carried away... but in a good a way and as a matter of fact.

Every morning, I look forward to the 45 minutes drive while being embraced by my crossfire, blast of music, ambience in the coupe and one thing leads to another...

Oops.

Talking about getting carried away.

 

Creativity: Body beautiful and all the above, brings the poet in us.

Thought I'd add.

I was trying hard to recall who said that...

Now I remember.

 

The Crossfire Reminds me of A cross between a Cadillac CTS and Porsche Boxster and a Benz SLK...

 

Just think it's a darn good lookin' ride!

 

 

AND ... when you put the transmission in reverse the mirror turns off the auto darkening feature so you can see well.

 

The umbrella hooks work great as
hat holders... That's what I thought they
were for. Live in AZ. Don't own an umbrella.
Had to find another use for them.

 

Well since i just have the base model (I would have gotten the limited but the price was right on this one), I don't have many of the little things that were listed. It's a shame that Chrysler cheapened up the Xfire just so that they could push a Limited model. But some things i do like are...

Exclusivity--don't see many around these parts
Location of the Lighter-- Works perfectly for an iPod dash adapter
The standby Heater mode--great for keeping the car warm
Size and shape of both the glove box and the center counsol.
Styling--to me it is both future and retro...and it looks like it should be able to do a wheelie!
The climate controls are a decent size where you can operate them with gloves and the passenger can set their own temp.
The trunk is a good size for my bags and yet small enough keep people from packing the whole house for a weekender...
The door pockets are large enough for my sunglasses...my other cars had them...just not ones that were this wide.

Since it really does have aeroplane like styling it really needs an ECM pod...

 

One more Feature i didn't see mentioned...

When you turn off the car and if your radio was playing it will still play for about 5 seconds (w/o even touching the power button) after you take the key out. This gives it just enough time to step out the car and as you are closing the door the radio is just shutting off...i call it "Making an Entrance"! I know to some that this is no big deal...but its that little extra that is holding/slowing me down from going aftermarket with a radio.

 

lol, by the time i turn my key off, and get out the radio had been off.

 

Also when you lock the doors on your car if you unlock it later and don't step in it for 5 minutes it will automatically lock again.

 

I've had a lot of Cool/fast/unusual cars over the years but I've never seen reactions like I get from this one. I park the thing and go into the store/eatery/bar/where ever. When I come out, people are standing around DISCUSSING THE STYLING !!! Groups of friends and strangers having a conversation about the way my Crossfire looks ! The first time I was a little freaked. I see a group of people gathered around my new car. I'm thinking, "Oh no, what's wrong..." I get my key out and start fielding questions. "Do you really fit", "how fast is that thing" "that has a Mercedes motor right?" and "how big ARE those wheel...different sizes ? really ? stock ?" I'm starting to get used to this but it's still pretty darn COOL.

I'm having fun and haven't even started moving yet...

Then I drop the clutch and the real fun starts !

Cheers,

Cincinnati Slim

 

This is a tough one as I love everything about my 2005 Black on Black SRT6. I have to admit I like the fact that I can do a 180 on a two lane road without using more than 1-1/2 lanes. I've done that twice now and it's pretty wild. The traction control feature keeps the high powered engine from throwing the car wildly out of control.

Here's a funny story from last month. the weather was great, a little cold but the roads were clear and I wanted to take the car out for a drive. I turned off the traction control and made a left turn onto a three lane blvd. As I was coming out of the turn I put my foot to the floor and with the cold road she did a 180 like nothing...It was insane. I was expecting her to take off but should have considered the cold road as the tires didn't stick...So with no traffic on the road I slipped her in reverse and stepped on it and did another 180 to right myself and putt her in drive and was off...

What a trip...ha...Man the lessons learned...Let's just say after driving this car for 14K miles I would have thought I knew everything about being a squirrel in this car but she surprised me... Ahhh, what a fun car to drive.

 

Now that I've had some chances to use my Crossfire, I have to say that the stock audio system creates the best "soundstage" of any stock system I've experienced.
