  Couldnt ask for a better wagon! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Jon - August 12 - 7:51 am

  I absolutely love this car. When I was looking for a car to trade-in for I wanted something with style that stood out from the rest. I would have to agree that the car is difficult to keep in alignment but for a heavy car the mileage is great. We have three daughters and always have enough room for car seats and all of their stuff. A must is the Electronic Stability Program - it really works great on icy roads.

  I like my " monster" - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Davide - August 8 - 8:23 pm

  I bought the car used, 1 year old, with 19,000 miles. Now the car has 60,000 miles, the few problems are just little annoyances, the battery light comes on most of the time 10 seconds after I start the car and the drivers side door sometime does not open using the remote. The rest is great. Style, engine, comfort, space. I average 24 mpg in the summer, 21 mpg in the winter, on the highway, not bad for a 5000 Pound car. I am very happy with this car. The handling in the snow is good for a rwd.

  Family Hauler + Hemi Fun = SUV Alt - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Toonzz - August 3 - 9:17 pm

  I just traded my Durango for the Hemi powered Magnum. Frankly the family didnt need all the space in trade for MPGs. I had to have the utility of an SUV just not the size, but I personally wanted some style. The Magnum was the only option. Toss in the Hemi and it was a no-brainer. I love the agility and responsiveness of the Magnum, the wife loves the practicality, and the kids arent embarrassed to be seen in it. Ive only had it a few days, so the verdict is still out on the quality and reliability. Everything else is nothing less than perfection, given all other things being relatively equal. I hope to enjoy it for many years to come.

  Love the Car Hate theTransmission Leaks - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Barb - July 26 - 7:40 pm

  Over all I love the look and handling of this car. Plenty of room for the grandkids and all their toys, etc. On the highway gets decent gas mileage however, the intown mileage stinks. The price you pay for the HEMI. Main concern is the transmission leaks and the wheel alignments. Weve had it to the dealership twice for both issues and were assured that the problem was fixed 5 months later we have another transmission leak and it already feels like the front end is out of alignment. (We just purchased new tires before the last alignment)Tires are very expensive for this car and they are already showing significant wear without a lot of miles on them.

  My Magnum - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By cc - July 18 - 3:26 am

  Before I purchased my dream car, I had read and read and read everything I could find on it. While doing the test drive thing at several dealers, my husband would always ask, Why dont you try the Chrysler 300 but my mind was made up long before getting behind the wheel....Just the sleek look, especially in the Black. I wanted the everything that the Hemi version had but didnt want the added insurance costs, plus the chance of any speeding tickets so I found an Special Edition SXT with everything I wanted. After after almost a year of driving it, and still answering questions from complete strangers, I am still in love with it! So easy to drive, comfortable and secure..

  We just LOVE this car - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By Barbara & Mike - July 17 - 10:00 am

  People ask What is it?? I love it! Can we look inside? Is it a car or a SUV, heads turn on the street when you drive by. We traded in a Mercedes SUV and didnt look back! I love the way it handels through town and on the highway, cloth seats are very comfortable,

  Best car I have owned - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By techi214 - July 17 - 10:00 am

  Incredible, so fun to drive and comfort has not been forgotten. It is the most comfortable and roomy interior of all the cars that we looked at. The RT model was great but the 3.5 V6 SXT has just as much power when needed. Thank you Dodge for finally making a cool family car.

  Bad On Gas but Really Hauls (Fast) - 2005 Dodge Magnum
  By rad dad - July 12 - 10:00 am

  My Magnum RT RWD is a keeper. People stop, point, talk, stare and roll down windows, they ask "What is it? or "Love your car". It is thumbs up everywhere. Manual trans is a blast - winding roads or freeway. Huge inside for towing or guests. Stero rocks. Satelite radio is fantastic. U connect is the best and safe and really works! Love the car, but ran out of gas twice already by not watching the gauge. It goes and goes fast and is expensive to keep filled and prices are not going down. Dealers are demanding $5K-$10K over MSRP and not budging in negotiations so far.
