I love this car

I traded my 05 Bonneville for the 05 Magnum SXT RWD 3.5L. I am 19 and this is the perfect car- it's 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!

Reliability Issues

Although I've had many inquiries form people about asking about this vehicle, I hav not been able to recommend it due to reliability issues. This car has been in the shop for numerous, I would characterize as nuisance problems. The AM portion of the radio has gone out on the car twice. The left rear window has gone out twice. The rear hatch has stopped working. The transmission jerks. Even though this car is a great looker, and is very useful, I don't think I will own it very long.

Darn good car

2005 Dodge Magnum RT AWD 4dr Wagon (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

This is one of the best vehicles I ever owned. We live in upstate NY (snow), and with the AWD we have had no trouble getting around. It is very comfortable on long trips, and a lot of room for stuff. Comfort, performance, a real head turner. We plan on keeping it for a long time. My wife just loves it. I have my 4x4 Dakota, but I have no problem driving the Magnum in bad weather. Thanks

I had gotten into an accident and had to replace my Concorde. I did not want to, but my new Magnum is great. It has been more comfortable and it has been a lot of fun to drive. I have the navigation system in it and you will never get lost.

We replaced a 1995 BMW 525i with our RT. My wife couldn't bring herself to calling it a "Dodge" after owning a BMW. Now I can't get her out of it. She won't let me have it. Performance rivals my 95 Trans Am with LT1. Incredible ride, handling, power and the best stereo I've ever heard in a car. Comments from people never stop.Get the HEMI. Worth every penny.
