  • My Mommy Mobile!!! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    We bought our car in mid-June and have over 4,000 miles already. I spend a lot of time driving the kid to practice, friends, etc...and I must say I actually look forward to it just so I can drive my RT. Were already talking about selling ours (I have people getting in line for it)to get the SRT 8. Wish I wouldve known sooner, but wouldnt have been able to wait anyway. After about 2 months and 2 roadtrips, I absolutely love this car. My Chrysler/Dodge dealership in Bristow, Oklahoma has taken fabulous care of us and our vehicles. I will continue to buy Chrysler/Dodoge products for their innovative and stylish designs and also for the reliability an

  • Sweet, Sweet Ride! - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    Nicest vehicle Ive driven in a long time. Great if you have children. Safe, reliable, roomie, and fun! Very smooth ride (thanks to the Mercedez engineering). Ive got 20" forged rims on mine with Toyo tires...looks very sharp. Also tinted drivers and passengers window to match rest of car. I get stares constantly. It definitely is the talk of all the cars on the road. I decided on the Hemi engine based on the size of the Magnum...its a big car and would put alot of stress on a V6 engine over the long haul. I see a few people who dont like the interior...saying it looks cheap. I dont agree. Its simple, but has every feature you need.

    Great car! It gets quite a lot of attention. I have been approached numerous times from folks loving the styling and wanting to know more. It has great power and moves effortlessly. It is very roomy and has plenty of space. I am 65" and still have room to move my seat back if I want. Very stylish and holds the road well. Havent seen the gas mileage others have been getting. Im averaging about 16 mpg. Wish the GPS was touch- screen instead of using the joystick. Cool vanilla color is absolutely COOL. It truly stands out!

  • Fast enough for a man, but made for a woman! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Even though I just got it I love it already! It attracts so much attention. The color is flawless. This baby runs go good. I was looking for something that comfortable and roomy for the kids, flashy and fast for my husband and me. I have heard that his car is a mans car, but I would recommend this vehicle to all moms! My slogan for my Maggie is: Hemi - Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman!

    Great car. I wanted a fast car with lots of space, modern technology and comforts. It was a choice between the Magnum, Audi wagon or Bimmer wagon. Im very happy with the choice, but havent been able to get 17 mpg no matter how I drive it.

    We bought the R/T in 2005. Talk about a fun car to drive! The car is very easy to drive and handles very well.

  • sUPER wAGON - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Purchased in July, and get many looks and compliments, no complaints to date, except mileage around town with "mds" is never above 11.5 mpg. Quality is as good as any other foreign car, and yet it gets more looks than any common Asian or European vehicle. I have the ability to upgrade engine modifications for performance and looks from dodge division, and not to mention aftermarket parts. When I want the power it is there instantly to the point it can be hair raising!!! Best parts of package is traction control it will most possibly never loose control unless pushed beyond it or any other vehicles limits. Experienced it at 80 mph lost control and came back with no problem.

    I test drove more cars then carter has liver pills and this by far was the most solid feeling car I drove. I feel very safe in it, and I do not have any problem with blind spots. There are now rattles or squeaks and it is the quietest car inside when traveling down the road over anything else I tried.

  • Hemi Magnum - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    A very tight, solid and powerful ride. The passing capability is incredible. I recently purchased a large gas BBQ still in the box and it fit right in the back with the seats folded down (nobody at Lowes thought it would). Very roomy inside even with 5 pasengers. I only have one complaint, quite a bit of tire or road noise (loud hum) when crusing on the freeway. You dont here any road noise in city driving just on the Freeway. I use the Magnum as my work car and it is the best yet.
