Amazing Wagon
Wow ! I never thought I would see station wagons come back, and certainly not like this. The styling, the handling, the power; all amazing. I got the SXT with AWD and it really handles so wonderfully, you'd think you were driving the Daimler car that they took the 3.5L engine out of - the ride, the feel, the overall quality of this Dodge is more than the sum of its parts.
Don't Let Magnum's Good Looks Fool You
Bought my Magnum in June. Within 1500miles had to have the rotors replaced, they were defective. At 3000 miles the A/C was recalled and replaced. Now at 10,000 my transmission failed, started smoking, had to be towed, and it has to be replaced. Fantastic. Good thing I decided I'd buy a new car instead of used, so I'd avoid lots of time at the mechanics. Second Dodge I've owned, and it will definitely be my last. I'm considering contacting the major networks to do a story on the crappy quality of Chysler/Dodge products. Warning to the wise: they may look pretty, but don't get suckered in by a pretty face!!!
Where is the quality?
Bought my Magnum RT with only 30K, black, fully loaded, heated leather seats, GPS, CD changer, sunroof... Love to drive, lots of power, but a bit sluggish when driving in the city. The front end seems to be weak. Had a clucking noise from the front and it ended up being the both strut arms, and the sway bar bushings. Was also told that the tie rod were a bit loose. For that kind of low mileage, I would expect more durability. Winter driving was great. Traction control is almost always on, but had no problems. Would I buy another one, maybe, but it would have to be a car with a Hemi. Once you drove one (Hemi), you will get bored in any other vehicles.
Magnum, one fun soccer mom vehicle
This car has it all....power, convenience, style, and fuel economy of a V6. We get a lot of looks and comments on this car. The one word I love is HEMI= raw power and fun!
dodge magnum 05 de junk
05 dodge magnum shifter gets stuck in park due to cheap you plastic in shift assembly. Had it repaired at dealer for 390 but still pump brakes to get it in gear. Engine rebuilt at 60,000 miles due to lifter failure and I use synthetic 05w20 oil. This is my 3rd dodge product, never buy another. I see why they got fined 105 million
