  • Dodge Magnum- Top notch quality and fun - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    In 50 years of driving, Ive owned a lot of new cars from all price ranges. This Dodge Magnum exhibits the best overall quality of any vehicle, foreign or domestic, that I have ever purchased. It combines great looks, great performance, and solid quality. I waited for GM to come out with something like this vehicle and they never even came close, so my next new car in a few years will likely be another Dodge Magnum, probably the SRT. With the Magnum, American made cars are again fun to drive.

    THIS CAR IS THE BEST AUTO I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. A VERY SMOOTH RIDE, EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE, AND VERY RELIABLE.

  • I love this car - 2005 Dodge Magnum

    I traded my 05 Bonneville for the 05 Magnum SXT RWD 3.5L. I am 19 and this is the perfect car- its definitely a sporty college kid car, and I got mine with under 20k miles for under $10k. What a steal! Gas mileage is not bad. I get 21mpg driving around town but I do a lot of interstate driving and i maintain 25-27mpg. Not better than my Bonneville no, but it certainly gets just as good gas mileage as any other car on the road today. I only wish I had a Magnum R/T. I want the dual chrome exhaust with the Hemi!

    PURE JOY, GOBS OF POWER, ROOM FOR WIFE AND KIDS, GETS PLENTY OF LOOKS, GETTING 27 MPG ON STRICT HIGHWAY, LOVE THE FACT THAT IT IS DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING ELSE ON THE ROAD, THE HEMI IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO ON THIS VEHICLE. ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE MONTHLY NOTE!

  • Possibly my all-time favorite vehicle!!! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Dont be fooled by the "station wagon" description assigned to this beautiful, terrific machine (although we appreciate it, because it no doubt helped with our insurance rates)! The Hemi engine is awesome, and isnt the gas-guzzler you might think. Over the years, weve owned Corvettes and Cadillac Allantes - our Hemi-powered RT gets as good or better gas mileage than they did. We read a review recently that trashed the cruise control system in the RT (mainly its location) which totally amazes me because its location on the steering column is one of the most accessible/handy Ive ever used, and its very easy to manipulate. Go with the RT - I promise you wont be disappointed!

  • dodge does it right!! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    this car rocks!!!!! the hemi is a sweet addition to a cool looking car. i opted for the v-6 for fear of my right foot!! the 6 is a capable motor, it moves fairly well and with the stability control turned off and with a little water under the tires they can be turned!!the ride is smooth,and you don`t get the feeling of being in a land yacht.

  • Car to heavy for smaller 190 hp engine - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Love the car, love the design but the 190hp 2.7 6cyl does not have enought power for this vehicle.

  • Gittn ur done! - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    What a ride? Everyone asks me 2 questions? Does it have a Hemi? YES Does it live up to the hype? NO- It exceeds the hype! My commutes have become way to short. I love to do errands for the wife. Just another excuse to be in the Hemi for a ride. You will not be disappointed in this gem.

  • MAGNUM REVIEW - 2005 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT R/H DRIFT. DEALER IS UNABLE AND UNCONCERNED. THEY SAID IT A PROBLEM WITH ALL MAGNUMS AND 300MS. NO FIX IN SIGHT. CHRYSLER "WORKING ON IT" BUT STILL SELLING THEM. GAS MILEAGE NOWHERE NEAR ESTIMATED EVEN WITH A VERY LIGHT FOOT. IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES SINCE JUNE 04 INTERIOR SPARCE. NO MEMORY SEAT AVAILABLE.
