  • Drive and Grin - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I recieved delivery on the 2005 RT Magnum in early January and have put a couple of thousand miles on the car. The GRIN comes when you step on the accelerater and the 345 horses come alive. What a pleasure being able to pass, enter X-ways, without effort. The suspension and ride qualities of the car make it truly a bankers sports car. The 18" sticky Continental tires and the ESP feature gives me confidence in handling high speed curves. Another GRIN feature is the number of people who comment on the looks of the car. Stop at a light and you will be looked at and probably get a thumbs-up and grin.

  • Coming from a 4runner - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Averaging 19 mpg. Not bad for the fun Ive had in it. The power is great. Too much plastic in the build. Grill is plastic, fenders are plastic and the dash is made out of something that sinks under any weight at all. But these are asthetic issues. If it was made like a Lexus, it would be priced like a Lexus and I wouldnt be driving it. Compared to a 99 4runner, it drives like a dream. My wife drives a 98 4runner, and when we switch cars, I feel like Im trying to run in iron boots. The Magnum flies.

    This vehicle reminds me of when I was a child. My dad had a chop top wagon. That was the main reason I bought this. However, the 340hp HEMI had something to do with it also. I suggest you atleast test this vehicle before you purchase your next.

  • Magnificent - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    The magnum has everything you would want in a wagon. IT is very comfortable for both the people who are driving and the kids in the back. THis car is fun to drive because of the power under the hood (even though I did not get the Hemi the magnum still preformes perfectly). Even though this car is a wagon it is great. Most people think of wagons being uncool but the magnum chages all of that. Also the magnum is the wagon version of the chrysler 300. I got this car instead because of its looks rear leg room comfort ant its big trunk. if you want a car with a perfect 10 the magnum is for you.

  • Will make excuses to drive somewhere! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This is the most fun vehicle I have owned. The Magnum turns heads where ever I go. The Hemi will force you back into your seat and even has kick when already at high speeds. Has lots of room, I fit a willow tree in it! Adults love all the room in the rear seats. Worth every penny I paid for it.

    Great ride with comfortable seating. The Hemi is great for passing and merging. It is an eye-catcher.

  • Great Vehicle - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Great perfomance. I get lots of comments from friends and family,and I believe that some are jealous of our purchse. Its great for traveling across the couintry, is very comfortable on long distance drives ,especially in the Southwest. Weve used the A/C a lot. It keeps the vehicle comfortable.

  • Meets expectations - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Very fun car to drive. Great for long road trips. Be aware that the car is a bit difficult to park, but is otherwise a solid platform for around town or on the road.

  • That is one fine machine! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Alignment problems, (Car pulls slightly to the right) - I dont know yet, however I am starting to believe the tug is radial related at 6000 - 9000 miles... Dealer thus far has not mentioned radials and has aligned the car without fixing the problem. Going to asecond dealer soon!
