  • Moms little hot rod - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    The first time I saw a Dodge Magnun, Ithought I was in love.I was so happy when I finally was able to purchase my dream car. My first long ride in my blue beauty was a trip from Rockford,Ill to Waterloo, Ia, to see my mother. Through the hills and curves it was so smooth.It was like riding on a cloud. There were a couple of times I had to pass some semis and I had the power to do so. I do not have the Hemi engine in it . For me, It is the finest riding machine on the earth. There is so much room for me to haul the thing I need. My kids like to call it,"Moms little hot rod". Yes, I am one very happy lady with the prettest blue magnum in the world. Thank you,Dodge for my car.

    Am I the only one that has had nothing but problems with my car? Multiple transmission problems? Radio replaced because the buttons just stop working? Horn works every once in a while and no one can seem to solve the problems. I had to have it when it came out since Im not am SUV kind of gal but I am so dissapointed. For the amount of money I spent I am not pleased with the way this car has performed.

  • Mopar Heaven - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    Being a long time fan of Mopar cars, I have always wanted a Hemi engine. I have owned several muscle cars back in the 60s, this car rates as the best I have ever owned. Car is VERY fast and gets great gas mileage to boot. I only went to the dealer to look, I ended up driving one home.

  • A wonderful town and road car - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I have been intrigued with the lines of this vehicle for several years. This was when I first saw a fleet of three cars, all black and no chrome with all kinds of strips on the outside and antennas on the middle vehicle. These cars were out for high-altitude testing. At that time, I had no idea what kind of vehicle they were. About two years later, I saw the first vehicle on a dealer lot, and it was the Dodge Magnum RT. I have liked this vehicle since. I have always liked the Hemi engine. The last Hemi I owned was in a 1957 Chysler New Yorker. I wouldnt be surprised if that engine ended up in one of Big Daddy Garlits rail dragsters. This is one fantastic vehicle!

  • 23,000 miles of joy and sorrow - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I have had my Magnum for almost 2 years now and have had a ball driving this car. I have had 2 bad and worse experiences concerning the front brakes. At 9000 miles the front rotors where replaced due to very bad pedal vibration. At 23k the vibration was back and the dealed wanted to charge me $180.00 to resurface the brakes. I replaced the rotors with Power slot rotors and CarQuest ceramic pads. The car stops much better than new and for about $600.00 in parts and an hour of my time my family is safe. Overall though, my experience with my Magnum is very positive. My overall fuel economy with the Hemi is about 25.25 highway and 19.2 city Not bad for an American V8 muscle car. Thanks Dr. "Z"

  • Still Loving It After a Year - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Ive driven this car for a year so far, and love it as much as the day I drove it off the lot. The AWD is great in any less than optimal traction situations - its very cool to just power away up a hill from a stop light in the rain with no wheel spin! It doesnt drive like your daddys station wagon. The handling is much more like a high performance sedan (i.e. Mercedes). You wont believe the amount of stuff you can get in this thing. The loading crew at Lowes never thought wed get a 4 burner grill (in the box) in there along with an arbor, a dozen plants and some bags of potting soil the other day. Weve towed a 3400lb trailer on multiple occasions with no sweat. Great car!
