  • Our Hemi Magnum - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Being the first brand new car we owned, we were very impressed with the performance of this car. It is a fun car to drive, and it really gets going when the need is there, especially when getting on the freeway. I love the feeling of being at home in our car. It is very comfortable. It is very special to us as our son purchased it for us, and he monitored the growth of it from beginning to end on the internet.

  • Awesome! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This is the most awesome vehicle Ive ever owned. The power and smooth ride are better than I anticipated. If you own this car, you will find a lot more people looking at it and asking questions.

  • My Station Wagon - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I like my Station wagon except for one thing the transmission shifts really hard and it kind of annoying, and the manufactur dues not let you put a smoother transmission fluid in the car. And my radio dues not play MP3s like it is subpose too. Otherwise I am satisfied.

  • I love my Magnum! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    The interior space is what sold this vehicle to my husband. I was interested in purchasing a new Sable Wagon a couple years back, and all I can say... "I am glad I waited!". This wagon has just about every feature I want and need. We are definitely looking forward to what the future models improve, but for our very first brand new vehicle, I could not be happier. While the gas mileage is not exactly the best, I gladly give that up for the safeness my family and I feel inside this wagon. It handles nicely and turns easily for such a long vehicle. And while some reports I read "complained" about the smaller size of the rear window, it seems quite adequate and we have had no issues.

  • Solid Car, but will it last? - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This is my first Dodge, and I am still a bit nervous if this car will last. So far, so good. Just call me paranoid. This car has a lot of room and a very smooth ride. Already had to take it in for Airbag light and now have a slight pop in the dash. No biggie, just annoying. The "trunk" area is kinda cheap, but my last car was a 323 Wagon, so I am getting used to driving an American car again. Overall, very happy as long as it last four years.

  • Excelent Wagon for the whole family. - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    The Dodge Magnum presents a radical shift for the Dodge line. Style and functionality mix to provide an outstanding people friendly wagon with style. This class of cars has recently been showing its age. The Magnum breaks this mold and produces a handsome car with excitement and curb appeal. Unheard of just a year ago. The All Wheel Drive is excellent in snow and when mated with the Hemi engine Shows none of the customary reluctance of 4- wheel drive systems. Wonderful!

  • THE "2005" DODGE MAGNUM RT/HEMI - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This is the most awesome car, sure looks like a station wagon, but has a very classy, but tough look. My husband and I are thrilled to have this car, so yeah maybe we are going through our mid life crisis (ages:42/46), and it does make you feel younger. You have to drive one for yourself, then youll see what we mean. We bought the inferno red which catches everyones eye, they all stare at it and even stop you and ask all kinds of questions. We love it and plan on keeping it for a very long time. We have been waiting for Dodge to make a car that we would love and they finally did it, so glad we waited.

  • Very Cool - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    The RT is just a lot of fun to drive. Comfortable, good looking, great handling. The Hemi provides a real kick in the seat of your pants. Im very happy with the vehicle and havent had any mechanical or handling problems.

  • Visibility - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    We enjoy the car, but wouldnt recommend it to anyone in the 50+ age range due to visibility. Lane changes are heart-stopping in fast-moving traffic. We added back-up sensors to help with parking. On the positive, our 20ish children have no problem driving it.

  • "Maggie" is the Best - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I love my 05 Magnum. I nicknamed her Maggie. I had a lot of problems with the dealership but Maggie made up for it. The room is great. And the handling is awesome, you would think with such a big car your turning radius would be horrible but she whips right around those corners better than my husbands Accord. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that wants a lot of room and still look good. Its such a sporty grocery getter!
