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.

  SRT8 Power House - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By William Miller - January 6 - 3:02 pm

  I first owned a 2005 SXT Magnum, black w/tinted windows and 17" alloy rims, I loved that car. My daughter said it looked like a hearse. It could have been an instant muscle car but the 3.5 L V6 just didnt have it.I mean the 3.5 is a great motor just not the Horse power I wanted. So I bought a 2006 SRT8 w/ the 6.1 L Hemi. Wow! Its balck just like the one before and a whole lot faster. The power is almost unbelivable between the two. I miss the all leather seats and moon roof the SXT had. The 20" rims make for a little more bumpy ride but the handling is superior. Lots of power and good looks!Its what I wanted when I bought my first Magnum.

  2006 Dodge Magnum SE 2.7L 4CYL - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By DE - September 24 - 11:42 pm

  I had this car for 6 months now and have had no problems at all. It runs and drives great. I would like to see a little more power but that is my fault for buying the one with the small engine, (for gas mileage reasons), and it does get excellent fuel mileage.

  06 Magnum - 2006 Dodge Magnum

  My SXT AWD is the most fun auto Ive ever owned. It has head-turning style and a performance package that allows the car to be a king on the road.

  50000 and going - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Dave - February 19 - 11:01 pm

  16 months and over 55,000 miles, what you have is the very good, and the very bad. First the good, power, space for my big frame 63", 280lbs, and lots of boxes. Nice, but not overwhelming interior, nav, heated seats, adjustable pedals, all the good stuff. Now the bad, horrible dealer service, makes me want to go back to Toyotas, and Hondas. Priced the 60,000 service one dealer wanted $850.00, another wanted $470.00. Ive had a thumping noise in the right front since 21,000 miles, been to the dealer 4 times they cant find it.Serveral rattles, in the dash, and hatch. I will not buy another Dodge simply because of the dealer service.

  Needs Subtle Changes - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Jim Farmer - December 28 - 10:33 am

  The SRT8 Magnum is a thrill to drive and brings back muscle car excitment! As your heartbeat increases and your palms get moist, you accelerate from a complete stop, the G-forces press you into the seat and you smile as the speedometer eclipses the century mark in under 13 seconds. The highly bolstered seat holds you comfortably in place as you execute corners like youre glued to the road. This automobile is also practical because you can take along three passengers and their luggage with ease. I would recommend you at least test drive a SRT8 vehicle before you buy anything else!

  Great Fun Family Wagon - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Manny - November 27 - 4:47 pm

  A great excuse to buy a hotrod and say its for the family. Amazing perforance as expected. You sink into the deep bucket seats when you step on the gas. A lot of looks and compliments from other drivers and curious onlookers. Fun and functional, I can carry my boys in the back and still have plenty of room in the front for me. Im 6-4 so that was important. A real sleeper for people that dont recognize what exactly the SRT-8 badge means. I have routinely smoked other unsuspecting sports cars. Always great fun.

  Comfortable, great ride, nice handling - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By nocruelty - November 22 - 11:39 am

  This is a company car for us. The 2.7 liter engine provides merely adequate performance from a stop and at speed, and Id recommend one of the larger engines. The legroom is excellent for front and back passengers. The headroom is very good. The telescoping steering wheel is extremely helpful and complements the power drivers seat to find an ideal driving position relative to the fixed position pedals. The ride is excellent. Cornering feels solid and not as though its a 4000 pound vehicle. Rear cargo space is limited, unless folding the rear seats. Weve needed to use the optional roof rack during trips. Coupled with a bigger engine, this is a very fun, comfortable car.

  Happy with my SRT8 Magnum - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By AGD - October 13 - 9:45 pm

  I traded a Volvo V70R for the Magnum SRT8 and I havent regretted my decision. This car is a blast to drive. its just so darn fast when you get on it. My 5 year old calls it the "Mommy Hot Rod".

  I love my Magnum - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Step Tyner - August 10 - 3:13 pm

  Aside from rather poor rear quarter visibility, that impossible-not-to- damage-while-parking lower front clip, and a seeming inability to "memorize" my garage door opener code, the car has been entirely trouble free. The concept is a superb one. Who says station wagons have to be snails? The interior cargo space includes handy grocery racks and a host of fascinating little compartments and such. And, while the interior decor is a bit Spartan, the seats are comfortable and all the controls are conveniently placed.

  Black Hemi R/T - 2006 Dodge Magnum
  By Susan - July 27 - 2:03 am

  This car has been so much fun to drive I dont want to get out of it. It handles well and is very comfortable. This Hemi has tons of power and then some. But it is also nice to cruise. The 4 disc braking is really great! I love it!
