  • Great car! - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    Love the look and it is fun to drive. A very smooth ride. Great handling. People are definitely interested when I drive around. I see more Magnums around the city now and wave. Watch out when you have a lot of cargo because it will cause you to bottom out. And make sure the tires are inflated properly. The only things Ive had problems with, is the sensors going off; the "Passenger Airbag off", the "ESP not working" light... things like that, but they werent permanent and nothing to go crying to the dealer about. (I did call them though)

    The engine rocks. The transmission enhances the engine performance. Its a very powerful, practical, fun-to-drive, stylish car. I still drool when I look at it! However, the cosmetics in the cabin are not the most durable ones. I have had the visor clip, the sunroof, and the seal for the back spoiler changed. The quality of the paint is also poor.

    This car is an attention getter with an admiring population that is totally inclusive. Young, middle aged, older, male, female....all ask questions, admire and comment on the car. In terms of the car itself, I have found it to be a dream to drive, smooth, powerful, responsive, comfortable, and it fulfills my need for hauling space for my dog, computer stuff and other belongings as I travel back and forth across the country. I am retired, a widower, and on my own. I need a car like this for my new lifestyle. The best car I have ever owned, by far.

    Great quality improvement for Dodge. Outstanding performance is only mared by poor fuel economy. However, my highway mileage is still a respectable 18MPG. The only problem I have had has been a clunking noise from the HVAC system at start up. Apart from that, I love it. Oh, It really does turn heads!!!!

    Extremely happy with car The performance of the 2.7 with the 3.90 rear end rocks. Love the styling but just didnt need the Hemi. Car seems well thought out & shows a strong Dailmer influence. I bought the basic blacked out no chrome model & installed 22" black wheels. The car was obviously made for these wheels It gives the car a kind of European/retro 70s blackout look. Good comfortable road car with a Detroit Iron feel. To be able to put the grocery getter on the road is a great versatility. Ive forgotten how much better a road trip is in a good road car.

  • Fun car.. no fun getting it towed - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    My continued saga of problems had an unhappy xmas, my radiator burst... now I have had Brakes re-adjusted (for squeeling), Oil Pump failed, Power Steering failed, and now my Radiator. Getting my third towing in 2 months..... Yes I still love my car, but am getting sick of the problems. The wife is getting a new car shortly and it will be either a Honda or Toyota

  • We Love it - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    The little car, which isnt that little handles well in all areas of driving, in town and on the open hiway..Gas mileage is improving at a good rate. We have noticed that in high wind(which Texas has alot of) it does dance a bit, but nothing that I worry about..We love it.
