  • Chrysler Quality Sucks !!! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I purchased a 2005 SXT AWD, new in June of 2005 (cost $31,500). Here is a list of the issues Ive had with it. First, after only 30,000 miles, the factory Continental tires would not pass inspection. Second, after numerous visits to the dealer, about intermittent problems with the rear power windows, the window regulator seized up. Just outside of the warranty. (what a coincidence, and I have the other side to look forward to repairing now) The engine has been running rough for the last 27,000 miles and, of course, the dealer has been unable to diagnose or fix. They just perform the basic "shotgun" technique of plugs, wires, etc... I have had the transmission ROM flashed twice and was charged!

  • I Can Drive 55 - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    After trading in my 1993 SHO for this I am jumping for joy. I have two 6ft 4 sons who fit in the back seat with room to spare. The trunk to the wagon has more then enough space, I call this my truck. Handling a load of one adult size wheelchair and four suit cases. The get up and go with my SXT 3.5 ltr high out put engine is enough for me, think of the tickets I would have with the R/T. Handles well in all weather, only problem I have is it sits very low to the road watch out for plastic bag they will get hung up on exhaust and start melting. Over all, I know I will have this wagon for atleast ten more years. And yes I can drive 55 but it does want to use its power which is there

  • Styling and perfomance is back .. Magnum - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Magnum is a head turner. Ive been asked at stop lights and parking lots, What are you driving. When I tell them its a Dodge they are surprised. They are expecting a foreign car badge name.Due to the 50s look this car is begging to have performance items and dressup pkgs available before the year is out. The 3.5 Liter engine performance is ample,but it aint a hemi !! This car will have a strong appeal for drivers of all ages. With 1300 miles on the odometer the gas milage is around 22MPG city and hwy Enough, Im taking my wife to Big Boy for more adulations.

  • satisfied buyer - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    I drove the 2 wheel drive model a few months ago,and liked it alot. I decided to wait until the AWD model came out before buying one. I am very happy with the one that I bought. It really is a pleasure to drive this car. It is very comfortable, solid and quiet going down the road. For a car in the $30,000.00 price range,it really has alot of good features. People do notice it when I drive it.

    tThis vehicle is a lot of fun to drive. My wife and I will sometimes fight about who will drive. I used to drive all the time, but now she wants to drive. This is the only car that I like more than my pickup. We try to find reasons to drive this car. We have two other cars that we drive to work, but this is our favorite.

    What a pleasure to drive. This baby just wants to run, and if you let it the fun doubles. Great handling and the ride is superb. After driving a 2001 Intrepid RT driving this is more that double the fun.

  • And They Quit Making Them - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I have throughly enjoyed this car. I added a K&N FIPK and Magnaflow mufflers and have been completely satisfied. I cant believe that Dodge quit making them. Im trying to find a 2008. Wake up Dodge, no wonder you are having problems. MPG is not bad, I can get 26 MPG if I keep my foot out of it. It has a good carrying capacity and also looks good. They have no other vehicle that can compete on this level. If I cant get a 2008 I only know that my next vehicle will not be a Dodge. Get one if you can an enjoy both worlds.
