  • My Two Cents - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I bought it to drive it in the snow, but changed my mind and still live in the south. Im in the car business ( luxury sales) but fell in love with this car at first sight. One year and 16,000 miles later, I love it still! I have chipped it, and added a performance filter and exhaust. It is a blast. Wish I had the bought the RT though.

    This thing is just a cool car , go with the larger wheel and tire package and get the 5.7L Hemi at whatever cost, you wont be regret it. The Hemi runs as a 4-cylinder on the highway. And it handles excellent, smaller turn radius than you think. The V6s are pretty stout too.

  • Smooth Riding - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Easy to handle,quiet ride, visual ability excellent. Roomy inside makes shopping a breeze with high hatchback door up high. Very comfortable seating, for 5 people with large leg room in back seat. Adjustable peddle and seats make it easy for myself at 6ft. to drive and for my 53 wife to easily change quickly as she drives 90% of the time. Smooth at turns and brakes are excellent. See what winter will bring.

    I bought my Magnum last November. I love the car. I am having problems with water leaking in my doors and falls on the rocker panels. This freezes my doors shut in the winter. So far there doesnt seem to be a solution for this problem. All in all, the car is great. I love driving it. Handles well, looks excellent and is very comfortable to drive and to sit in. Has some blind spots but after driving it for awhile you get use to it. The windshield fogs on the inside quite easily and is hard to unfog for some reason, maybe because the windows are so small. I feel Ive made the right choice buying the magnum.

  • I love my wagon! - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    I am a working mother of two girls and I wanted a car bigger than a sedan- not a SUV, and definitevely not a mini van because I hate looking like a "soccer mom" in them (though that will never apply to me anyway!). The Magnum was the perfect choice. It is big, brute and sturdy looking but it drives very well, very smoothly. The perfect car for a once-tomboy now professional mom. It also catches peoples eyes - twice Ive had two men telling me their love my car. So do I!

  • I love this car!! - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    It is one of the funnest cars I have ever owned. Gets good gas mileage considering the engine. I usually average about 21 mpg. It has been to the dealership a few times. Five times for the same rattle which we finally tracked down to the front passenger wheel well plastic not being screwed in properly. More recently gearshift would get stuck in park. Repaired the brake sensor (twice). For a car in its introductory year, I have been very pleased. Tonight my airbag light came on. Im going to monitor that situation. I love the roominess. I have a two year old and I love when I speed up and he giggles. I think he likes it as much as I do

  • Statisfied Magnum Owner - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    Purchased Mag R/T used, second owner, with approx 19,000 miles. It runs great, currently has 24,000. So far no problems except for engine light. No steering, handling problems. No weird sounds. Very satisfied. Mileage could be better, but what do you expect, its a Hemi. Great pickup on interstates.

  • Magnum outside, Minimum inside - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    Magnum RT AWD is a great car all year. Super mileage even with a load. Only criticism, for a $40K + vehicle, less plastic and more style in the interior.
