This Year's Model Updates:

The popular Dodge Magnum remains essentially unchanged, but bright trim on the SXT's grille, doors and interior is new. The SXT now comes with standard foglights, and both the SXT and RT now have an optional rear-seat DVD player that flips up from the center console. Eighteen-inch wheels are now optional on the SXT and 17-inch machined aluminum wheels are offered on rear-wheel-drive versions. Later in the model year, the SXT's four-speed automatic transmission will be replaced with a five-speed unit.

Pros:
  • Aggressively handsome wagon body style, powerful Hemi V8, quiet ride, roomy interior, lots of safety features, available all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • Sluggish acceleration with base V6, too much hard plastic interior trim.

  • Needs Subtle Changes - 2006 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    The SRT8 Magnum is a thrill to drive and brings back muscle car excitment! As your heartbeat increases and your palms get moist, you accelerate from a complete stop, the G-forces press you into the seat and you smile as the speedometer eclipses the century mark in under 13 seconds. The highly bolstered seat holds you comfortably in place as you execute corners like youre glued to the road. This automobile is also practical because you can take along three passengers and their luggage with ease. I would recommend you at least test drive a SRT8 vehicle before you buy anything else!

  • Family mans sprts car - 2006 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    When you need a car that can haul and haul your stuff this is it. A true sleeper. I stepped up from a SRT4 and never looked back. If only it had the 300C interior and a bigger rumble out the exhaust. You have to go with black as your color choice. It looks so mean in black. Uses a lot of gas but what 6.1L station wagon doesnt? Ride is smooth and seats are great for long trips. Easy to drive with a great turn radius. U-turns are a breeze. Stops on a dime and handles better than most cars on the road. If you can afford a SRT8 go for it.

    I love my SRT8 and am still amazed at its driving capabilies and stopping power. This car is a must for a hot rod momma!

  • Great Fun Family Wagon - 2006 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    A great excuse to buy a hotrod and say its for the family. Amazing perforance as expected. You sink into the deep bucket seats when you step on the gas. A lot of looks and compliments from other drivers and curious onlookers. Fun and functional, I can carry my boys in the back and still have plenty of room in the front for me. Im 6-4 so that was important. A real sleeper for people that dont recognize what exactly the SRT-8 badge means. I have routinely smoked other unsuspecting sports cars. Always great fun.

  • Comfortable, great ride, nice handling - 2006 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    This is a company car for us. The 2.7 liter engine provides merely adequate performance from a stop and at speed, and Id recommend one of the larger engines. The legroom is excellent for front and back passengers. The headroom is very good. The telescoping steering wheel is extremely helpful and complements the power drivers seat to find an ideal driving position relative to the fixed position pedals. The ride is excellent. Cornering feels solid and not as though its a 4000 pound vehicle. Rear cargo space is limited, unless folding the rear seats. Weve needed to use the optional roof rack during trips. Coupled with a bigger engine, this is a very fun, comfortable car.

  • Awesome car Dad! - 2006 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I have only had it 4 weeks, and I love the car. I have been approached twice asking about the car. I bought the car used, saved myself $4K. I will not miss my Surburban. My 8 yr old will only go with Dad, forget about the minivan.

  • 2006 Magnum from Ontario - 2006 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I am a lifelong Dodge fan. From the Dodge Dspen to Dakota now to the Magnum I am very impressed witht the structure of the whole car. I believe they spent time on this and made it right. Spacious in design with a whole lot of sport.

  • Why purchase a Subaru - 2006 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    Wow. I am a 60s child. What an increase in quality, driveability, utility, and performance. Commute 70 miles one way to work. I am much fresher upon arrival than I was driving an " all wheel drive import". Exceptionaly quiet, solid. I have had the vehicle four months and have put 18k miles on the clock.

  • SXT 2WD 2006 3.5 250hp V6 - 2006 Dodge Magnum
    By -

    I have just purchased this car recently and took a trip of about 1000kl/600mi. loved the way the car handled and comfort was very good. Fuel mileage was above my expectation as I averaged 39.84 mpg hwy and 34.32 city, very excited about that. 3.5 engine has lots of power and is all that is needed in this wonderful wagon
