  better looking than any mini-van - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By graham - January 15 - 3:29 pm

  I had wanted one for years and finally bought it after selling my Durango. great looks and a great ride to boot. Tons of room for a family of 4 which saved me from the soul sucking mini- van option. I had tested a 2.7L v6, but it was not powerful enough for that big of a car. The 3.5L has plenty of power. The RWD was a concern in the snow, but the first big snow this year disproved that concern. the car did great with common sense driving. Too bad Dodge decided to drop the Magnum. At least they should have replaced it with the 300C wagon thats available in Europe.

  All thee Above - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Tamira Wams - January 1 - 2:49 pm

  So far I had no real problems with my RT since ownership. luv the ride an the look of the car, sometimes the sunroof dont close flush but I jus made my own ajustment. luv my 6 disc changer/mp3/sat/nav, the only problem I had since ownership is my radio lights goes in an out. The whole screen goes black an cant use my navigation and other radio functions.

  My glorified station wagon AWESOME - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Celeste - December 31 - 6:53 am

  When I traded in my Grand Cherokee I thought I would miss it, WRONG!! I love the Magnum. The 3.5 provides plenty of power and sounds great. It handles like a dream and is comfortable. I have 3 kids and it has the room I need more than the Jeep did! The kids have a ton of leg room and I feel safer. The gas mileage I get averages 24 mpg around the city and 29 on interstate. The a/c cools it down quick when we were at the beach in 115 degree weather. It has the pickup you need to get on the interstate or to pass. Did I say it was FUN to drive? LOVE IT, I hate mini vans and this is the perfect alternative to a SUV & Minivan. Not only in performance and roominess but in fuel economy. BUY ONE!!

  By CoDee - December 24 - 10:00 am

  We took our Magnum Wagon on a road trip from L.A. to Lake Tahoe and the ride was so smooth I forgot how long wed been driving until we stopped for lunch. Make sure you dont mind people staring and asking questions.

  I love my Dodge Magnum!! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Judy Pickens - December 24 - 10:00 am

  Exceptional automobile. Beautiful. Comfortable. Great performance. I am not too enthused about the gas mileage, but that may be because I cant keep my foot out of it. All in all, I love it.

  outta the SUV - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By goopysteve - November 16 - 1:50 pm

  We went from the Ford Excursion into a new Magnum, and I must say, what a pleasant transition from a lunker truck SUV to a performance wagon. Actually, you dont even know youre driving a station wagon in the Magnum RT. Not only is the Hemi power impressive, but it rides so smooth and quiet (almost too quiet) inside. Nice stereo and sport interior are easy on the ears and eyes, too!

  The new trend - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By John Hamilton - November 5 - 10:00 am

  This car has it all. I went from a Chevrolet Tahoe and the SUV feel is still there the pick up is 0-60 in 6.3 from a 3800 lbs. sport wagon. The ride is nothing less then a mercedes and smooth as can be.

  Cant get more for under 30K - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Magnumbuyer - October 25 - 2:33 am

  Wow, what an impressive car. Very European in styling and handling. The cargo functionality is awesome; I can fit anything in the back of that thing. The gas mileage for the Hemi is nice; I got 21 miles/gal on my last fill-up; better than many 6-bangers. People talk to me all the time about the car-at the gas station-store at work-"hows the Magnum?" they ask; like its a member of the family. Hehe

  chop top thriller - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By chris j - October 20 - 1:26 am

  What a blast to drive! This ride purrs at 90, and yearns to jump over 110, without any stress. A great highway cruising vehicle--and makes for a fun ride to the coast. My two 9-foot longboards fit with ease. Exterior styling is aggressive and bold- -projects its "wanna rumble" attitude with confidence. I get many Mustangs and Vettes that want to play on the highway- one light tap on the accelerator and theyre wiping the sand from their eyes...

  I love my Magnum! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By PBooth1115 - October 12 - 1:13 am

  What a great car! Ive never owned a car that accelerates AND turns heads this quickly. Hemi engine is a must. Interior is comfortable. Heated leather seats great for Chicago winters. $1800 is worth it for the navigational system and 6 disc CD player-makes it fun to drive. Too new to know about reliability. Only complaint is that angle of rear window makes it get dirty easily. Just keep it clean.
