  • my magnum - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    Ive had this car about a month now and I find driving to be a real pleasure again. This car is fun and easy to drive, with plenty of power when needed and also great gas mileage for it being a muscle car. There is plenty of storage in the rear and there is plenty of leg and head room. Im 6ft. 4inches and I have no problem whatsoever with head and leg room. I think this car is the ultimate in practicality combined with a beautiful design. I get the thumbs up sign wherever I go. I highly recommend this vehicle for the shear pleasure of driving!!!

    What a great vehicle. The gas mileage is better than an SUV, and the SXT version is very comfortable with the leather heated seats. Very fun to drive also. No complaints, I got mine for $19k brand new.

    I love driving this car more everyday! I needed something with lots of room to carry my gear, but still something sporty. One friend of mine says "This car reeks of German ingenuity" I feel like Im driving a Mercedes at a Dodge price.

    I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANYTHING BUT A FORD. 3 EXPLORERS,AND 3 MUSTANGS LATER , IM NOW A HUGE MAGNUM FAN. THIS AUTO HAS SURPASSED ANYTHING I MAY HAVE THOUGHT. COMFORT,SPEED,ROOMY,AND COOL LOOKING. I HAVE LETERALLY SPENT MORE TIME SHOWNING THE CAR TO PEOPL THAN I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT. A BMW SUV ALMOST DROVE ME OFF THE ROAD TRYING TO GET A GLIMPSE,AND THEN YELLED OUT GREAT CAR. THIS CAR HAS IT ALL. WHAT A GREAT CONCEPT. GOOD JOB DODGE.

  • Dont Let Magnums Good Looks Fool You - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Bought my Magnum in June. Within 1500miles had to have the rotors replaced, they were defective. At 3000 miles the A/C was recalled and replaced. Now at 10,000 my transmission failed, started smoking, had to be towed, and it has to be replaced. Fantastic. Good thing I decided Id buy a new car instead of used, so Id avoid lots of time at the mechanics. Second Dodge Ive owned, and it will definitely be my last. Im considering contacting the major networks to do a story on the crappy quality of Chysler/Dodge products. Warning to the wise: they may look pretty, but dont get suckered in by a pretty face!!!

  • I love my Magnum - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    I love my Magnum. Spacious, comfortable and its fun to drive. You wont believe the amount of attention youll receive! What a blow to my ego when I realized the men where gawking at my car and not me LOL.Ive had people stop me on the street and look it over. Please do yourself a favor if you are considering this car and "go for it". You wont be sorry!

  • Lots of Looks - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I feel that DaimlerChrysler should be paying me for all the advertisement I provide to them. To clarify-- everywhere I go I find people staring and pointing at my car. If they catch me outside of it I am asked lots of questions about it and told what a nice looking car it is. I have had 3 new vehicles in my life and I have NEVER had this much attention for an automobile. I feel confident and secure in this car and LOVE to drive it. I guarantee you will also find this car fun and refreshing to drive.

  • Very Surprised - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I rented this car on a recent trip and was very impressed overall, but not by the 2.7 Six cyl. My couriousity got the better of me and I test drove the Hemi. BIG MISTAKE. I was sold right there and then. I have had more attention with this car than I know what to do with. People follow me in stores and out to the parking lot asking to see the car. I feel like Im a spokesperson for the company. People wave me down at intersections and at gas stations inquiring about the car. I thought I would never own a station wagon, but as the saying goes, never say never. Plus the aggresive styling and suburb handling made the sale of this car a lot easier. Dodge did a great job!

    you have to drive it to belive it. not your grandpas dodge. awesome vehicle to drive. turns heads every place i go. loves to driven fast and hard.

  • Dodge + Mercedes = Magnum Hemi R/T - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    All I can say is that you must drive this car to fully appreciate it. I was granted the opportunity to drive a production ready version on a race track under the instruction of a professional driver named John Paul Jr. This car is built like a benz, handles like a BMW, and accelerates like a Viper. This thing is just DAMN fast for a full size wagon. The build quality both inside and out was as good or better than anything Ive seen. They claim the body gaps are only .116 inches. I could go on, but it would take days!!!
