  Best Car Ive Owned in 50 Years - 2008 Dodge Magnum
  By ocita - July 26 - 2:58 pm

  I special ordered my 2008 Magnum SXT for delivery in the USA while serving in, Afghanistan. It currently has 50K miles on it, most of the miles from long-distance driving. It averages about 27 mpg at 65-70 mph. Out west, at altitudes above 5,000 ft, where the speed limit is 80, the mileage jumps to 33 mpg. Most of the miles on the car have been cross country. I was stopped by a police officer only once. The officer only wanted was to know the name of the color on the car. She loved the color. This is the most comfortable riding and reliable vehicle I have owned n 50 years. The only problem I have had in 5 years was a burned-out license plate light bulb.

  Not your ordinary Mommy Mobile - 2008 Dodge Magnum
  By kiss this - October 4 - 2:00 am

  I used to drive a Nissan quest, and I had so many issues with the darn thing, I wanted something that would give me the cargo room, without the bulkiness of an SUV. It is so reliable and at the time of purchase the car facts rated it at a 93% and I have not been disappointed. Everything about this vehicle, screams reliability, youthfulness and practicality!

  Crazy room, head turning, comfortable - 2008 Dodge Magnum
  By bbarber - May 20 - 8:18 pm

  Im a big guy, was looking to trade out of an older SUV. I looked at so many makes and models and nothing felt right Then I test drove a Charger just for the curiosity of having a car again after years of stepping up into an SUV. The Charger was nice. Not enough room! Dealer suggested a Chrysler 300. After some research, found that the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum were all built at the same assembly plant in Canada. Same frame, same basic interiors. Saw a Magnum in person. The 2008 is HOT! The look is tough, the interior is comfortable and super spacious. No compromise for me! Got all the room of my old SUV, all the style of a stacked Magnum. 2.7 V6 ok mileage A+ value!

  Small V-6 has plenty of getup - 2008 Dodge Magnum
  By wagonlover - May 14 - 3:13 am

  Ive only had this car 2 weeks and I am pleased so far. I love the comfort and fit of the interior to my five foot frame. I should have bought one new in 08. I own 3 classic wagons with V- 8s and this six cylinder keeps me happy. The ride is smooth and sporty. The interior space is roomy and comparable with my older wagons, you dont find that much nowadays. This is a true grocery-getter.

  Amazing Car says Self-Proclaimed Cynic! - 2008 Dodge Magnum
  By alaskan skies - April 17 - 2:54 am

  I purchased my 2008 SXT AWD 3.5L Dodge Magnum around the time Dodge was claiming bankruptcy - at the time I thought I was walking away with a great deal, now that I have had the car for a year I realize that this was probably the best vehicle purchase I have made, or ever will make. This car has it all. It is roomy, yet compact. It is versatile, agile, and swift on its feet. It sports an edgy masculine look as well as a classy interior design. I like its bold look and smooth drive. I purchased the 3.5 L V6 engine and I wouldnt recommend anything less than that. Overall, this is an amazing car and if you find one Id recommend snapping it up.

  I love this car! - 2008 Dodge Magnum
  By MBeeson - March 24 - 7:00 am

  Ive driven this car for about a year now and I am so in love with it. The only con that Ive found after all of this time is that the 2.7 liter v6 doesnt have the power that Im used to. I thought that I would get used to the lack of get up and go, but I never have. Thats why Im considering trading to something different since the larger v6 in the Magnums are hard to find in my area.

  AWD SXT - 2008 Dodge Magnum
  By Gary - February 24 - 2:18 pm

  I read every review about the Magnum I could find before buying it as I was concerned about how the AWD would perform and if the 6 cyl was enough power. I live in NY but found the car in Iowa since they didnt make many 08s trying to find a loaded SXT AWD was difficult. I am thrilled I bought this car. The AWD works great in the snow and the 3.5 engine moves the car around very well. I am more pleased with the car and the performance then I expected to be. Right now these cars are a great buy and I highly recommend it. Dont be afraid of going with the 3.5 V6, it handles the weight of the car fine, it does not feel underpowered. Blinds spots are not that bad either.

  Roomy, Quiet Oasis in Traffic - 2008 Dodge Magnum
  By Ken - October 8 - 4:19 pm

  Being 64" tall, interior room is very important. Ive had the Magnum since February, and at first was worried about the 2.7 L V6, but having driven it to the east coast, over the mountains, was surprised with the power of the car. Extremely quiet ride, nice stereo system. Absolutely zero build problems, no mechanical problems with the car at all. Have to join the chorus that is sorry that they are not building this car any more, really love it. Traded in a 1995 Dodge Spirit with 120K miles, this car is a whole different ride altogether. Also considered Cadillac DTS and Buick Lucerne, Magnum has a better quieter ride and is roomier.
