Review

I bought a used 07 after renting an 08. Mine is 3.5L RWD, Inferno Red Pearl. BEE...UTIFUL!!! All leather and great stock stereo. Lots of space for my 3 tall teens. Awesome styling, very different from anything out there. A modern muscle car regardless of engine size. Joined a Magnum owners club last night and can't wait to cruise with all you Muscle Mag owners out there!

Favorite Features

Styling, Color, everything!

Suggested Improvements

Cruise control in odd place. (fixed on 08 version) Got to get used to the size and window size.

This car turns heads for a second look by all ages. Fun car to drive, I would have bought the 425 horse model if it weren't for price of gas.

Want-to-be Muscle Car!

2007 Dodge Magnum RT 4dr Wagon (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

Very attractive body style! My RT has 18s, nothing special, but I do plan on getting better performance tires and wheels after my first year with the car (8.08). Agree with some of the past comments about interior design, could've done better, especially that cruise control stick on the left. Had to add Navigational/6-CD, and BlueTooth for convenience; could use audio controls on the steering wheel (another option = $$). Blind spots can be trick at times, but when driving defensively, not that big of a problem! But still a problem. Brakes now beginning to squeak at 10K, need to have them checked out at next service.

Favorite Features

Favorite: the 5.7L Hemi! Good acceleration when needed. Comfortable ride on short and long trips. Driving to Vegas from L.A. was a breeze. Gas mileage was just O.K., but now at almost $4/gallon, driving becomes more expensive in this car!

Suggested Improvements

RT (and SRT8) are "want-to-be" muscle cars! All these vehicles NEED a MANUAL transmission! 5-speed at least, not these wimpy "auto-sticks". Too much engine to control for the auto-stick. If the car had a manual transmission, I would be completely satisfied with my RT, a classy muscle car!

Very Nice Ride!!

Review

Great Ride! Fun to drive. I got the SXT with leather, sun roof (huge opening), 3.5L V6. The 3.5 liter has great performance for the size of the ride. I think the 2.7L would be too small but just an opinion. Love the smooth ride (a lot of people don't know most of the suspension parts are Mercedes Benz). HUGE amount of cargo space in the back. And has a lot of great standard features. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an SUV type cabin but a luxury type of ride. Cons: Cruise Control Stick design takes getting used to. Some blind spots on the sides of wind shield. Parking is kind of tough since its a long ride. A lot of backing out and straightening to get into spaces.

Favorite Features

Too Many to name.

Suggested Improvements

Don't like the cruise control stick but once you get used to it its ok (wish it were on the steering wheel).

Reminds me of an old Chevy Nomad

Review

Fun car to drive. I installed a Jet chip to even out the sluggish starts. I can't complain, though it is only a V6 (3.5L) and not a Hemi. The chip worked nicely. Next is a K&N Air intake, cheap ways to gain a few more ponies.

Favorite Features

Black on Black, just a good looking car. I'd like to add is the chopped roof is suppose to be that way, it's not Gangster, it's the look of a Hot Rod. if you want better visibility you should consider a Subaru wagon. Not a knock on Subaru...just a thought.

Suggested Improvements

I have no complaints. But I would like to point out the blind spots on the side of the car, in case anyone is thinking of purchasing one of these.

Review

Every time I see my car I can't believe how good it looks. @hat a beautiful, fun to drive vehicle it is. I wouldn't mind having one of the bigger engines, however I enjoy the gas mileage and can't complain about power or acceleration. Overall I'm very satisfied with my car, it gets me from point a to point b in style and comfort.

Favorite Features

I like the quietness of the ride best. The tilt steering wheel is great and the stereo sound is surprising. Even though it's just a 2.7 engine, it has that little throaty growl when you put your foot into it a little!

Suggested Improvements

Access to the console storage between the front seats is a bit awkward, but manageable. Due to the size of the side windows, it can be tricky to see other vehicles in the blind spot.

Review

I had to decide what kind of car I was gonna get. I was more than surprised to realise that I was going to be buying an American Car (that wasn't a Jeep). After owning 3 BMW's, I was sure a European car would be sitting in the driveway but wow. The Magnum has been a favorite design since they hit the streets. After driving it, the handling, the fit and finish, the interior, the solid feel of well thought out construction, and most importantly, the way I feel when I'm driving this car. How did Dodge manage to keep the vehicle so tame and peaceful on the inside. It kinda feels like a Mercedes... OK, maybe it is the Daimler influence on Dodge.

Favorite Features

My favorite features are the dash layout and the fold down rear seats. Believe it or not, the interior space is far more than my Jeep Wrangler. I cannot believe how much cargo space I now have. Oh yea, the sound system is amazing. It's without a doubt, the best sound system I've heard in a car.

Suggested Improvements

I really have no improvements. I would say I'm kinda partial to hard plastic dashboards so I can stick stuff on them but, The padded dash is of far higher quality. I don't know why there is no interior gas door switch. This is the petty stuff.

Early Magnum results

2007 Dodge Magnum SXT 4dr Wagon AWD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Nice comfortable car with lousy windows and mediocre controls. What were they thinking? Hard to see stoplights, tops of hills etc. through narrow low windshield, the back has a narrow slit that gets dirty fast and is hard to see much in the rear either. Only question was where to mount the machine gun in the bunker. The cruise control, trip odometer are poorly located and designed, who needs an extra left handed stalk that runs right across the gas gauge. Did you hit the turn signal or the cruise control? Bad design. Controls and instruments have been much better designed in nearly all cars for over 50 years. Styling just to be different just dosen't cut it.

Favorite Features

Engine was quiet and responsive, the 5 speed A/T with its upshift and downshift controls were well designed and worked well going uphill and down hill in the mountains of Colorado. Highway mileage averaged over 26 mpg--just as advertised. Keep engine and transmission replace rest.

Suggested Improvements

Terrible window design (unless you are playing junior gangster) seriously cuts visibility. They need to steal a better instrument and control design (hire a Honda designer or buy one of their cars).

Great car

2007 Dodge Magnum RT 4dr Wagon AWD (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

We recently took a 2300 mile trip in the car with four people and full of luggage, no problems. Ran great, average 20.9 mpg, even with a few high speed bursts.

Favorite Features

The side view is the best, and being black. Besides the great performance, it attracts as much attention a my street rod.

Suggested Improvements

When you spend the extra money to get the AWD, they should give you the better looking chrome wheels.
