  • ESP - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    A real pleasure to drive, turn the ESP off, place right foot on floor and hold on. It reminds me of the late 60`s. Oh and it can carry a crapload of stuff. The roof line and quarter windows give the car a look that I somehow associated with an old Nomad wagon. One item that I don`t like is that I don`t have headlamps that come on automatically. Overall a great machine.

    I love this car. I needed more room, but I didnt want an SUV. I just couldnt bring myself to buy a 4 door sedan. Then I found the Magnum. Do your research, you will be impressed. I want you to know that the SXT with the 3.5 v6, will give you plenty of power and is a blast to drive. I traded in a 2004 Mustang convert. It had a 3.8 v6, it also had 60 LESS horses...

    I love it. The best car that I have ever owned. Excellent handling, comfort and looks! I do have to say that most of the looks come from men. Women are not as taken with the car.

  • Dodge Magnum RT - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    I have had a problem on slick roads (midwest) with the anti-slip differential. The traction is very poor for this vehicle. I was told Mercedes had the best anti-slip differential on the market and this car would not have any problems. Not true. I dont like the mixture of the shiny chrome and brush interior items and I am disappointed in the passenger side leg room. When I have someone six feet tall and taller they are cramped for knee space with the seat all of the way back. I had a fog light get broken when I hit an animal in the road and to have it fixed cost $260; which I thought was a little extreme.

  • Wish I had all wheel drive. - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This is a great car and lots of fun to drive. Gives a super smooth ride with really nice handeling qualities. Great acceleration as well. The only negatives are the Continental Touring tires the car came equipped with. Real junk, only got 14,000 miles out of them. The only compensation the dealer offered me was to get a 25% discount on the same tires! The only other negative is this car is terrible in the snow. Just a few weeks after I bought this car they came out with all wheel drive! If the dealer had told me this I would have waited a few weeks and bought the all wheel. All in all a really nice though.

    I am very satisfied with the car. I will recommend the car to my family and friends.

  • The new Dodge - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I wanted the RT but decided that the fuel economy would be better with the 3.5 V6, and probably fewer speeding tickets too. The SXT has plenty of power, gets decent mpg, great handling, and interior comfort. Definately the nicest car Ive ever owned.

  • Love it - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    Best car I ever owned. By far the most fun to drive, especially when blowing off young kids. Their mouths drop open at he sight of my tail lights. Nice smooth, quiet ride.

  • I Buy American - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This "sport wagon" brings it. I’ve only had it for about a month and love it. Small issue with the air bag that was resolved. There is some vibrating in the panels or exhaust on acceleration but hope to eliminate that. If youre fuel conscious though go for the v- 6. The hemi is a guzzler. When Im driving like a normal guy I still only average about 13 mpg in the city at best. The stock exhaust is rather quiet for such a beast of a car. Could use a little more growl. I’ve found a slew of aftermarket parts so upgrades will be easy and fun. All in all I would recommend this vehicle for anyone interested. If fuel is a factor though u will have to sacrifice the power of the hemi for a v-6 :(
