Overview & Reviews

The popular Dodge Magnum remains essentially unchanged, but bright trim on the SXT's grille, doors and interior is new. The SXT now comes with standard foglights, and both the SXT and RT now have an optional rear-seat DVD player that flips up from the center console. Eighteen-inch wheels are now optional on the SXT and 17-inch machined aluminum wheels are offered on rear-wheel-drive versions. Later in the model year, the SXT's four-speed automatic transmission will be replaced with a five-speed unit.

• Aggressively handsome wagon body style, powerful Hemi V8, quiet ride, roomy interior, lots of safety features, available all-wheel drive.

• Sluggish acceleration with base V6, too much hard plastic interior trim.

  New Owner - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By fds1961 - March 19 - 6:10 pm

  I drove a Dodge Charger last year and like the ride, so when it was time for a new car I went for the Magnum. I like to be able to load stuff the flea market and go fishing so I went with the wagon. It was like driving a SUV, and the speed!!! I had to check myself a few times, but this is the most powerful car I ever had. I drove a Nissan Altima for 2 years and this is a whole new class of car. Stylish, fast, a real head turner. It had over 80,000 miles, but you cant tell by the way it rides and excels on the road. So far so good, it seem to be a well build wagon with AWD for the snow, glad that I got this....

  06 R/T AWD - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By alambra - September 22 - 2:00 am

  What an unbelievable machine. I have never driven anything like it. Perfectly engineered, meticulously designed. Simply perfect. Its time for Toyota to stop relentlessly pursuing perfection. Because Dodge got there first with the magnum rt. The power is unbelievable. Handling outstanding. And comfort is second to none. Ive been a mustang owner and lover for the past 15 years. But now, after driving this magnum hemi for less than a week, Im in love with it. With 82k miles it feels as if it just rolled off the assembly line and into my garage. Simply amazing automobile.

  2006 Dodge Magnum SE - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Jnet_2006 - July 17 - 9:47 am

  I am very happy with my magnum. I was looking a car with a lot of room. My magnum is a car with the space of a SUV. It has the small V6 so the gas mileage is not all that bad. I would of never got a SUV with 51,000 miles for the great price I paid for my car. My 2006 Magnum is like new.

  2006 SE 2.7 - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By knowles - April 29 - 9:49 am

  Love the style. Mine has color matched 22" chrome wheels...had a side wall puncture. Cant replace just one tire and had to go to several places to find a good tire in stock since I did not want to wait to order tires. Cost for 2 was pricey but that has nothing to do with the car. Also, to anyone thinking about beefing up the look with big tires and rims, okay for around town but you lose some of the quality in the ride. Have tried to figure out why but no one can give me an answer. Non the less, with the color coordinated rims (car is metallic red) its an eye catcher. No mechanical problems. Its a 2006 SE 2.7 with 40,000. I wasnt looking to win a race and dont want a gas hog.

  Its a wagon! - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By william van dusen - March 5 - 11:33 am

  My car 06 magnum srt-8 drives perfect for road racing, acceleration stopping night driving, looks (without a doubt) when backing just force yourself to turn your old tired body around an take a good look, blind spot is there in the back. Only thing I can see is when trying to drive down long straight roads the long wheelbase and ten inch tread in the front goes away from straight much easier than smaller tread tires but it corners unbelievable for a 4,300 lb. wagon with a long wheelbase, Ill take the cornering ability anytime. Ownership of my car has been a long time coming (since 1962) Ive always coveted the big cubic inch Dodges and Plymouths, HA thought it was crippling at 4,600.00,

  Magnum RT/AWD after 33500 Miles - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Dadd Wagon - 33k m - June 7 - 4:01 am

  Had my Maggie now for 28 months and 33,500 miles. Used Royal Purple since beginning. CAR has been the most reliable , fun , trouble free car I have ever had. Still sounds, feels, drives as I took it home. No issues what so ever. Very pleased that we own a car that was discontinued also.... So what.. The AWD system I have never felt safer behind the wheel of any 4x4. She is a tank and built well.. Keeping her forever...

  Once was just not enough - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By D.E.Light - March 23 - 8:39 pm

  Bought a new SRT Magnum for my own retirement gift in 2007. Simply loved it but eventually sold it to a friends son who kept bugging me for it (for 3 years). After that I owned 2 Chargers, 1 R/T, 1 SRT and a Chrysler 300C. I really missed the wagon because of the versatility and nasty looks so when I was able to find the second wagon I grabbed it. Never have had any issues with any of these vehicles but then I take care of all the maintenance/repair myself so no one can mess them up. There is a HUGE difference between the 5.7 and 6.1 Hemi LX cars pretty much in all respects so for me it will always be the SRT. The 6.1 responds very well to small changes (tuning,exhaust,CAI) and kicks real butt when you also loose 150-200 lbs of weight from the car which is not that hard to do. Even with the 12 sec. 1/4 mile performance I get around 23mpg on 75mph trips. Best of both worlds and the darn thing is a wagon to boot! Kudos to the SRT team. This gang has brought back the old day attitude and swagger we had in the 60s and early 70s. Chrysler leads and the others follow ( after complaining and trash talking about being beaten of course). Some things never change.

  I Love It - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By C Cav - February 10 - 11:53 pm

  This is truly an awesome vehicle. Also owning an SRT10, I am very impressed with the power and handling of this wagon. Great braking capabilities, and the handling is amazing. The interior is smooth and very comfortable. So far the only downside is MPG, but if that is what you are looking for in a car, the Hemi is not for you.
