  • My crash test - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Three weeks ago, while driving my 2 week-old Magnum, I was sitting, stopped in traffic, on x-way when a Honda SUV rear-ended me at 55-60 mph. It spun me around and into the other lane. The drivers seat was laid back and the damage was so severe that the rear seats were laid forward and would not raise. I could not walk or breathe, and was taken to ER. 5 hours later, I went home with no broken bones, just internal bruising and very sore ribs. The car was totaled. Today I got my 2nd Magnum. I think the weight of the car and good construction saved my life. Hows that for a rear-end test crash testimonial? Thanks for making a good strong vehicle.

    I was hesitant to spend $30,000 on any car classified as a "station wagon." But the styling grew on me, and the 340-hp HEMI goes a long way to dispelling myths about boring station wagons. The car handles better than any other 4,000-lb. full size car Ive ever driven. Im getting about 18 mpg city and 21 or 22 mpg highway, which is quite good for a car this size with this much power. I use the recommended mid-grade gas. This car is fun to drive and comfortable on long trips. I have had the dealer fix the "pulls to the right" problem, and I had to have the rear seat center seat belt replaced because the retractor jammed.

  • My Pretty Magnum Sure is a Head Turner - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    My Magnum is one of the prettiest wagons I have ever seen or owned. It handles like a sports car rather than a wagon. Magnum has plenty of power when you call on it and believe me when I say it will run 0-50 in roughly 5 secs. With the ESP feature the Magnum sticks to the road like a road racer, and it is next to impossible to lose control of the car. Like the salesperson who sold it to me said, about the only way you can lose control is if you fall asleep at the wheel.

    This car is a beauty and fun to drive. I have the V-6 and I have no problem with acceleration when someone is too close. I have had more women ask me about my car than men. I tell them it is just great!

    Our family of 5 loves the styling inside and out. The room...oh the room inside for me @ 62" in the front seats or the back seats is ample to say the least. With three fast growing children this is the car for us. Performance of the 3.5L is well suited and the handling is great. Break in we are averaging about 27 mpg highway. It is simply a pleasureable ride...and quiet too. Locations for under the hood is easily accessible.

    this car turns heads,young and old. its a stretched version of the 300. the hemi is impressive and im seeing 22.2 mpg,even with giving a few test rides to friends and family. i cant wait to get this thing on the highway. i spent two hours in the front seat,asleep, waiting for my daughter to return from a sporting event one night. the interior is so firm,yet comfortable. i would recommend this vehicle to anyone.ive added a factory remote start,and a receiver hitch w/factory wiring harness.this car is truley more than one could ask for in a thirty thousand dollar car. i feel like royalty while sporting this wagon around town. my compliments to the chef..

  • Its all I wanted - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I waited a long time for a car like this one. I had no desire for a SUV but I needed to carry things. I could never see myself in a mini-van but I needed to carry things and people. This is my dream car. Style, performance, and room.... its got it all.

    By -

    I absolutely love this car,walked into the dealer turned the corner and stopped. Told my wife thats my car right there. Major head turner,EVERYONE stares,we live in Arizona and there are very few on the road. Questions from most people,what is that?,are they expensive?,Can I look inside?,I didnt know it came with six cylinder,etc. Perfect ride.

  • Magnum R/T - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    The R/T handles like my old Trans-Am. The ESP works great without the driver knowing it. The interior is very quiet and standard features available on the R/T are plenty.
