    Im probably the only woman my age (58) to read about the Magnum (with the Hemi) in January and get to order the first one into the Dodge dealership in Rockwall, Tx. My husband and I picked it up in late June and we cant stay out of it. In less than 2 weeks, we have 1600 miles on it. It drives so smooth and has so much power that its a little scary. I dont like the navigation system in it, as its not as precise as my G35s. The gas mileage isnt the greatest, but I didnt buy it for that reason. We replaced our big and bulky suburban with this wagon, and for the price, we got a winner!!!

    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.

    The styling of the new Dodge Magnum caught my attention as soon as I got near it, and caused me to want to look and look some more. The long, low stance, the tall wheel/tire combination, the short window chopped top look, made me think this was a custom vehicle. Drove one (the hemi) at the dealership and was sold on it. Nice looking inside, but not frilly. Looks strictly business. Gets more serious when you apply those 340 horses under the hood to the pavement. This thing gets the drivers attention! Surprising headroom too! Im 6-6, and no problems!

    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.

    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.

  • Just got my Hemi Magnum! - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    The car is an eyeful! From every angle you smile when you look at it. I selected the Black Metallic Pearl with every option except the trailer package. My first impression when I saw the car was astonishment with the unique stance and look. For a US carmaker, Dodge has definately outdone themselves. I have waited 18 months for this car to happen, and I am not disappointed. The car drives incredibly well at all speeds. Acceleration from a standing start is not stellar, but the car comes into its own when entering the on ramp, and from 60 to 100.

    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!
