  • Wonderful Car! - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    I have had my eye on this car for quite some time now, and when I got to the dearlership, there was no other car I wanted to look at. We are trying to start a family, and I do not like SUVs or mini vans. The Magnum is the perfect family vehicle and it looks and rides great too!

    Bought my Magnum RT in September and have over 6k miles on it as of late November have adveraged just over 19mpg with a low of 16mpg (first tank) and a high of 23mpg. Excellent ride and handling, no problems so far.....The only change Ive made so far has been the addition of a flowmaster exhaust system.

  • Great car - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I love this car. Around town, I get 16 mpg all the time, and on the highway, I got 23.3 the last time I had it on a trip. I really like the power, ride, room, just about everything about it. I need to go by a dealer as I have just started getting a vibration, like running over a washboard, when backing around a corner while it is cold, in the morning. Seems like a positraction problem, like my old Corvette had. Fixed with a can of special oil. Overall, I love it.

  • AWESOME CAR - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    The best buy for me in a long time. I wasnt sure whether to get an SUV or the Magnum SXT, but after owning mine for 3 months now, I know it was the right decision. Fuel mileage, handling, roomy interior and the excitment of driving a "Grocery Getter" that turns head was more than worth it. The whole family loves it and my kids call it the "Beast" :)! If you think of getting one (Dodge has come a long way with improvements and quality) take it one for an extended spin (highway, backroads and city) and Im sure that youll get it. Its worth checking out if youre in the market for a new, sporty, head-turning car (even for those in a mid-life-crisis)! I love my Mangnum "Beast" SXT, Youll too.

  • This is the car! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I can honestly say I love this car. Ive had mine for just over a week and 700 miles and have no complaints...ok well the gas gauge and my atm card might complain but all in the name of fun. For an all around daily driver with room to spare it doesnt get any better. It has the power and handling of a decent sports car, yet seats 5 comfortably with their luggage. So far Ive pushed the car pretty hard and it just keeps taking it. Be prepared for the 2nd set of tires..it will come soon!

  • Never to old to drive a hotrod - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    This car is great. I have had 3 new cars in the past 2 years, and when I see this one I had to kiss the others goodbye and Im glad I did. I love everything about it.

  • Hemi Magnum - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Just bought the Hemi RT, this vehicle is comfortable, handles well, awesome power and great looking. Got the Bright Silver Clearcoat w/ sunroof and roof rack ne other option, comes well equipped. Friend owns a Chrysler dealership and said going for other options is a waste no trade in value. Highly recommend. Do not know mileage yet, have only driven for one week.

  • Love My Magnum - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I have owned my Magnum since early July 2004. I love it. It is exceptionally roomy inside for my family of four. It rides smooth like a heavy sedan on the freeway, but handles quick and responsive like a small sports car around town. The power is phenomenal and a whole lot of fun to drive. And, it definitely turns heads and starts conversations everywhere I go. One negative--I have encountered a "hard-start" problem and the dealership and factory finally solved it after 10+ days in shop, now it continually has a "check-engine" light that they are still unsure of. The problem, although frustrating still has not taken the fun out of this car.

  • This was not the car for my wife. - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This car has gone beyond my expectations. This is the true combo of Mercedes Benz and Dodge performance cars. This drives like a very expensive European car. Lots of good legroom and loads of storage space. We like the look outside. My 8 year old daughter calls the car her limo in the Cool Vanilla color.
