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.

  Cool ride - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Dodgehauler - January 12 - 4:30 pm

  This car is a kick to own. It rides , handles and goes like no other wagon I have ever driven. Great traction control with the all wheel drive system. Works fantasitic in the snow. Tons of leg room both front and back. The steering wheel telescopes in and out but also tilts, combined with the power seats and pedals, its very easy to get a good driving position or change it on a long drive. We are getting 18 mpg around town and 24 on the highway. Not bad for 345 h.p. under your right foot. The look of the car is very deceptive. Looks like a chopped top but Dodge raised the window openings up . Friends and famliy who have been in the car cant belive the room it has inside.

  2006 Magnum RT AWD - First Review - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By W. Carline - September 29 - 3:43 pm

  I have one of the first 2006 RT AWD to find its way to MA/RI. The car is simply awesome. I have only owned it for one week, but there is no question that the ride is equivalent to that of a $60K luxury sedan. The power....HEMI speaks for itself. Interior noise is virtually non- existent, unless of course you open the windows to hear the HEMI purrrrr through the dual exhaust. This is certainly not the Dodge of my parents generation. Cornering is solid around sharp turns on the interstate. Accelearation is smooth and decisive. Despite my short ownership, I had to let you all know about one thing- I got 5 "thumbs up" from other drivers on the first day!

  I Like it! - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Bearing Rep - February 24 - 3:00 am

  I have been watching the Magnum for some time now and have been so impressed. It was recently offered as a choice for our company vehicle, so I had to get it. I love the looks, room, quiet ride, and handling. I am at an age, with two kids and a business, that I need the wagon, but really do not want to drive "my Fathers Oldsmoblie"! Since mine is an SE (fleet car), I had no choice but to accept the 2.7 eng. It is adequate, but weak. The 3.5 should be the minimum engine for this size of car. Traction control and ABS was added. I run 35K business miles per year, plus personal miles and this car is fun and nice to drive. Overall, I love it, but wish that it had a bigger power plant.

  Not All Its Cracked Up To Be - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Dan - September 30 - 10:46 am

  I have to say that I am disappointed with the Magnum. Dodge spends more money on advertising than they do materials for the cars. My car feels cheap. I should have popped for the Hemi performance package. At least I would have a good engine.

  Loving every minute of it - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Rosemary Stoneham - July 12 - 5:43 pm

  My Magnum is just awesome. I love driving it. We have plently of leg room and it is very comfortable. The sound system is great. And then there is the Hemi. I dont worry about pulling out onto the interstate anymore. I just nail it and Im there with the rest of the traffic. I cannot say enough about my Magnum. I couldnt be happier. Thank you Dodge for such a wonderful experience.

  Looks great, less filling - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Dave - November 17 - 10:23 am

  I read a lot of the reviews on this site and they helped me make my purchase. I like the car for the most part but my fiance has a bad back and cant drive more than an hour without severe pain. The rear of the car gets really hot after a couple hours of driving and my dogs roast as a result. Compared to my old 95 Vette, it corners like a pig but its got some nice power for getting around town. Ive had it one month and I have found serious problems with it that the dealer says they cant reproduce. I paid $43k out the door and dont feel the quality is worth the expense. I will never buy another Dodge!

  The car Ive been waiting for - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By hemimama - August 13 - 11:30 pm

  The first time I saw the Magnum on TV I wanted it. The first time I drove the RT I bought it. Im 50 years old. I am thrilled by this car. The response is incredible. The power is impressive. It handles so well on the curves that you dont have to brake unless you are afraid. It takes a mountain pass like most cars go downhill. When I put pedal to metal it jumps like a 67 Camaro. Roadtrips are great. I love this car. I want muscle, but I need a station wagon. I am so happy with my RT that I no longer mourn my 67 Cutless w/the 350 and turbo 300 that some jerk in a Bravado creamed 6 years ago.

  A sports car in drag. Fun, fun fun! - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By John & Denise Anders - August 7 - 7:26 am

  We just received our 2006 RT/AWD Magnum. It is not for everyone though. The RT is an eye opening head turning ride. Very distinctive style not your mom and dads station wagon of old but a bona fide sports car in drag. Far more to it than meets the eye. The ride from the passenger view is very smooth without the over stuffed couch feel. Outstanding leg and head room. I am 63" and have more then enough room in all respects. Same goes for the drivers side. Driving it is a joy and brings a big smile when you accelerate into traffic. Gives the Japanese tuner notice stock American perfomance is back big time. With minor tweaks, will leave them floundering in all areas. Forget your WRX or Mustangs. Get an RT!

  Surprised purchase - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By damian - October 14 - 2:46 pm

  I purchased this car to get away from the look and feel of the SUVs and to my surprise, it seems I got a big car with comfort that you would get in a luxury mode,l and the sportiness of a smaller car. The drive is simply breath taking
