  love it - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By bird948 - January 23 - 10:00 am

  My husband and I had a Ford Truck previously. Last Sunday we went looking around for a family yet luxury feeling car,and we found that the dodge magnum was so appealing. It has plenty of room for the 6ft and up husband and plenty of room for our children. The hatchback is great with a lot of room for groceries, etc. I wasnt sure about the dodge magnum at first, but after the 1st week of driving it I love it!!

  Worth A look Great balance if you need.. - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Wayne - January 23 - 9:25 am

  A family vehicle but want something with some go. Have had my R/T for three years now (35k miles). This is the first 4 door car I have ever owned (traded in a 04 GTO on this one). Very quiet and comfortable drive with a ton of room. She definately will move out although the Magnum is a heavy car and dont expect cornering like a Vette or pure sports car. Gas mileage really depends on your foot. I typically get about 21 mpg (75% highway 25% around town). Only issues with the car Ive had which many have already noted: 1) Small tranny leak at 15k miles (was O-ring replaced by dealer and no further issues) 2) The OEM tires (Contis) didnt last long and really stunk in rain/bad weather.

  Its a HEMI - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By got hemi? - January 8 - 4:09 pm

  I have 52,000 miles on my Magnum RT. Its an awsome car. Great exterior design, and the Hemi is a plus. I had a tranny leak 8 months ago. It was a seal...the dealership replaced it at no charge. The thermostat was replaced 3 months ago. Other than those 2 discrepancies, I really enjoy driving my Magnum. It is a little slipery to drive in the rain, I think that is typical of any RWD. I plan on keeping my Magnum for a long time...unless I can find another car that is as comfortable and looks just as cool.

  Stay Away! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Unhappy Tom - January 6 - 11:21 am

  Ive owned this car just over 2 years & already Ive gone through 2 inner tie- rods, 2 rack & pinion, & 3 sets of front brake rotors (warping...although they say its not a common problem). The CD player & sunroof (doesnt open) stopped working 3000 miles ago & now the transmission is slipping! Some of this was covered under warranty but much of it has occurred just after the warranty ended. While the trans is still covered, the CD player/navigation system isnt ($2300). This is a fun car to drive when its working! I never bought a Dodge before and will never again. Be forewarned!

  Husband wanted it, Ive taken it over! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Diana Drake - January 5 - 10:30 pm

  We bought the RT-fully loaded. The driving pleasure and comfort is extraordinary. Acceleration is firm and steady, with no delayed action. There is a very snug feeling with the lowered windows. The storage capacity is surprisingly ample. It is dressy enough to take clients to lunch, while still having the ability to "truck" some things around.

  Fun and Practical - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Steve Miley - December 23 - 2:36 pm

  I travel all over the country and I carry a large amount of cargo (clothes, golf clubs, household items, etc...) and my Magnum has been OUTSTANDING! Even with the 2.7L the acceleration is adequate in almost any situation and the fuel economy has been fantastic for such a large vehicle (averaging 22-28 depending on speed) even when loaded down. The styling is what drew me to it, the quality is why Im keeping it until the V6 gives out. Then I can put my own version of the Hemi in it! The ride is so smooth and quiet, even at high speed, and it handles like a car 1000 lbs. lighter (Thanks Mercedes). Got mine for under $20,000, and Im astounded with its features and looks. Go Dodge!

  Feel The Power - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By DRWIX - December 14 - 1:35 pm

  I bought my R/T Magnum new after driving the 300 and Charger I liked the magnum the best as far as handling. There is nothing I do not like about this car other than they are not making it after 2008. Shame on you Dodge, you never really advertised this car much as it was that was your fault, all things considered it sold well to begin with. Personally I think you should have redesigned it to offer a third seat, watch how it would sell then Dodge Brothers. I would buy another and I just may try an 08.

  Great Car - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Andy268 - December 10 - 10:00 am

  This is one of the best riding and handling cars I have ever owned. The 3.5 V6 has plenty of power. I get looks almost everywhere I go. Dodge has built a Winner.

  By Mike - November 16 - 7:20 pm

  This car has it all....power, convenience, style, and fuel economy of a V6. We get a lot of looks and comments on this car. The one word I love is HEMI= raw power and fun!
