  • Gotta Hemi - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Wow, steering took a little bit of getting used to. It is very precise. Where you point is where it follows. Does not drive like a big wagon, inspires you to take curves quickly. Feels like a car that cost 20,000 more.

    This is the coolest car that I have ever owned (29 at last count). This car turns heads everywhere I go and people come up to me where ever I stop to tell me how much they like it.

    Short of a big block hotrod, nothing is more fun to drive than the Magnum RT. Its fast & corners well. But the main thing is it looks cool going anywhere, even to fill it up with groceries. I have never owned or even seen a car that everyone, from 17 year old guys to 60 year old ladies, love. I bought it for my wife, but I cant stop driving it.

    My previous experience with a V-8 4 door was my husbands Impala SS. We both agree the Magnum is superior across the board. The HEMI rocks, and the suspension handles that power like a dream. I cant believe the acceleration of this car. Its quite comfortable, the stereo is good, and I love the nav system. Styling is outstanding. Every where I go, people stop me and ask me about the car. The few cars that catch me on the highway, slow down to check it out as they go by. Leg room is great in both seats and I still have ample room for cargo in the back. I love blowing the doors off my neighbors BMW 325I. European performance at American prices.

  • O HEMI..........! - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    Test drove the RT in May... I was consumed. Read the brochure cover to cover and memorized everything. Factory ordered in June... due to the 300C, Magnums were backed up. Our dealer traded with a dealer out of Oregon so we could get it in time for our road trip to California! We traded a Ford Windstar for this and the Magnum RT is 10 times more comfortable than it was! My wife is 55" & I am 62" and we are both are at ease behind the wheel! Merge is no longer a word in our vocabulary!

  • Disappointed with quality problems - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    It happened again at 831 miles, there was a strange chirriping sound coming from the transmission, and one of the power door locks (rear left) doesnt unlock. Ive taken it back to the dealer, theyve claimed the problems been fixed, but the chirriping sound is still there. At 1,208 miles, Im hearing three rattles, one from inside my door panel, another from the dashboard, and another from the back near the left tailgate.

  • Dodge Magnum Doesnt Disappoint! - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    I have enjoyed every minute driving this car! I cant say enough about the performance of the 5.7 litre Hemi engine. The interior fit and finish is excellent with no squeaks and rattles inside. Road noise is also kept to a minimum. If you are sitting on the fence - GET OFF AND GO BUY ONE! You will not be disappointed!

  • 3000 Miles in a Hemi AT - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    We have had our Magnum about two months now...no problems...gas mileage is improving...to 20mpg highway at 75 if I stay off the Hemi... :) Our only concern is an occasional popping sound in the sunroof when the vehicle body torques. Awesome in a blizzard, better traction and control than my 4 wheel drive truck. The steering is different than any other vehicle we have had, doesnt seem to pull in either direction..just a little more pressure required than usual to steer. Could be because its an AWD. Been waiting for a "stop light jockey" to take me on but they all seem to look over, see the word Hemi on the fender and then pretend to be model drivers... :) Love the car!

  • i never thought I would love a Dodge!!!! - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    I have always driven a Gm vehicle till now!!! I became so disappointed and needed a car that was roomy , exciting dependable and efficient... I got it so far!!! We have spent more time showing this car to curious on lookers... 3 hours one time outside a store...all i needed was laundry soap... but we had to take the time to show the car of our dreams.. it was worth it!!!
