    I couldnt be any happier than I am with the purchase of my 2005 Magnum R/T. Its everything I had hoped for and more. Its powerful engine makes driving up twisty mountain roads nearly effortless not to mention the superb handling which makes the car feel "glued" to the road.. The interior is very quiet, the seats are comfortable and the ride is supple without being mushy.

  • Nice car - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    Id done months of research on cars, and the Magnum was the first one I wanted to look at, but I couldnt find one under $20K. We found ours (black with dark tinted windows - beautiful car) for around $16K with 22K miles on it. Its a great car, coming from a 1999 Grand Am with one kid and one on the way. the 2.7L isnt torque happy, but we didnt need a racer, just a daily driver with room for 5 that got good mpg. Weve had a couple of problems (brakes and visor clip so far), but it was used, so I wasnt expecting "new-car" functionality. Thank God for warranties, right? If someone asked me what car to get for a family of 4, this would be it. Thanks Dodge!

    You would have-to-have one to understand. This is what I needed in a car and I have the 3.5 high output v6. I love it. The Hemi is great too, but you could keep up with it no problem trust me.

    After seeing the introductory annoncement on the Magnum I was pleased to see eye catching styling, but that is only exterior appeal. The real test came, after a lot of research, to the test drive. I found the advertisements to be every bit as honest as the researchers/road test folks had stated. A GREAT RIDE AND EXCEPTIIONAL PERFORMANCE!

    I love this car! It looks great, handles even better and will FLY. Plus the Boston Acoustic sound system rocks.

    Handling, Power, Style. This car has it all. I bought this car because it had everything I needed to get me to work and to help me to play on the weekends. If youre over 50 like me, you know about rear wheel drive. It really helps with the driving experience. This is not your fathers station wagon. I cant tell you how happy I am with this car. WOW.

  • Do not buy this car! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I had this car for 4 days before the engine blew (200 miles on it!). I was convinced that it was a lemon, but the dealership said it was a problem with the car and would not be covered by warranty. Ill take their word and assume it is an awful car. And Daimler Chrysler has backed the dealership! Beware-if you buy this car (or the 300, Charger, or any other car with the same platform) and you have problems, they will not take responsibility. I had heard similar things but wanted this car so badly, I took a chance on it anyway. Biggest mistake of my life. I am actually left hoping that the engine problems continue so I can take them to task and claim it as a lemon. I am a VERY angry consumer!

  • RT - Best deal in 2005 - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This is the smoothest, fastest, and quietest car Ive ever driven. I can forgive the malfunctioning CD Changer, jammed rear seatbelt, and finicky tailgate for a ride like this. I keep thinking of reasons to go run errands. The engine is effortlessly powerful and the tranny is silky smooth. The 5 Speed Autostick is even becoming fun. I never really understood the appeal of a fake manual, but its fun to downshift to slow the car. You will never need to downshift for acceleration. The car can do it better without you. Ill admit Im enjoying all the people stopping to admire and ask about the car.
