  • Unique Vehicle - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    You dont see many of these on the roads yet. Fast, a blast to drive with one of a kind styling and oodles of room. Interior kind of sterile? I installed an aftermarket walnut wood dash kit in my Red Magnum...Perfect now. Options I ordered were sunroof and convienience group. regret: I should have gotten the Sirius radio. but with just these two options it really is a loaded luxury sport wagon. Nothing else is like it.

  • The Mad Grocery Getter - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    All of a sudden its not so bad to drive something that resembles what looks to be a station wagon, or a hearse, or an SUV?! WOW, what the hell is that thing, is the look I most frequently get while driving around in the Magnum. Such an original and unique style that carries the class of a Mercedes, provides the leg room to a sports car, undeniable Dodge strength, and the confidence of a tank, and you can still paralell with ease. Great Job Dodge!

  • Great car - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    This is a great car, Mine happens to be out of allignment or something is wrong with the front end with only 600 miles. I hope the dealership will be able to fix it.

  • What a car - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Havent had a car turn my head like the Magnum did in many years. As soon as they came out, I told my wife Im getting one. I did,and now Im happy. It not only looks great, its very versitile. Lots of room to haul stuff, and very comfortable to drive. I also get a lot of compliments about it.

  • One Word Hemi - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I had a 560 SEC MB coupe before this, and my Hemi would blow the doors off it. People stop me and ask about this machine. The last time this happened is when I had a 68 Shelby GT350 convertible and a 62 Thunderbird Sports Roadster with the tonneau, top down. BUY IT NOW!

  • White Lightning - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I took my white RT on a trip from South Bend, IN to Tampa, FL during record setting snow falls in Kentucky and Tennesse. I was able to open it up on Rt. 57 thru Illinois which was real fun. Got lots of looks. I hit the snow in Kentucky. I was extremely pleased with the handling of the ESP system. I was able to run at 40 mph, which in those conditions was flying! I was amazed at all of the high priced cars off the road in ditches ect... Spent pretty much of Xmas eve on I-24 in Tennesse. Things finally got moving again about 2pm and I was off to the races. I want you to know that this car makes you forget that you are diving long distances. Oh yeah!!! 22 mpg SWEET:)

  • Love My Magnum - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I have had the car only two months, but I feel at this time, it may be the best overall car I have owned. The car turns heads with its unique styling. It is fun to drive, and hauls a lot of stuff.

  • My Magnum SXT - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Absolutely the best riding car I have owned or even test driven. I like the fact that it uses supsension from Mercedes, and the ride is proof that it works as advertised. I have only 900 miles on mine so far, and have yet to take a trip with it. Biggest problem withthe car is the attention you get while driving it. People ride alongside of you just to look at it and they wont pass, or they take alot of time in passing you. Its one sweet looking ride.

  • SUV Replacement - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    My wife and I were looking for a vehicle to replace our 16 year old 4Runner. We wanted some thing that would give us the same utility for carrying cargo but we did not want the same typical looking SUV we were looking for some thing that would stand out on the road plus have good perrmance and handlig.We have had our Magnum for 3 months now and have several comments and looks from other people on the road.

  • Make it faster! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I cut off the restristers just in back of the chrome pipes and gaind 35+ more HP! Dynoned mine at 375 HP at rear tires after removing the restricters. A chip would also be nice, or free flow exhaust. May be even a super charger. Now theres a thought.
