"I bought my 2005 Dodge Magnum in Aug 2005. I have 352,000 miles, YES, thats correct. Every 100,000 miles I change out the timing belt, water pump ect... This is one of the best cars I have ever owned. I drive for a living and used the vehicle most of the time driving all over California. Very comfortable car. Some have complained about blind spots, but ya just need to know how to adjust the mirriors just right. My only complaint is the cargo space is a lil tight. hard to get luggage and A GOLF BAG in there at the same time. thats my only complaint. I am, unfortunately going to sell my baby, but with all the highway miles it will be a great car for a high school or college student or anybody... it even has the original windshield..."

"I bought my 2005 AWD RT brand new in 2004 (from the serial number, it was about the 20th AWD RT off the assembly line) and I'm still using it as my daily driver. It now has over 130,000 miles (210,000 km) on it, and I've had almost zero issues with it. Fantastic power, an amazing highway cruiser, lots of room, and looks great. In AWD trim, this thing is a tank that will get through anything in the winter, and far better than my wife's AWD Yukon Denali. The only downside is the less than stellar gas mileage, but you can't have everything. I would wholeheartedly recommend this car to anyone."

"My dad bought me my Magnum R/T as my first car and, initially, I wasn't too thrilled with a station wagon. But over the years I've come to love my wagon. The power delivery is excellent and I've come to appreciate the space this car provides now that I'm married with two young kids. It's a big car but not so big that I can't parallel park it here in Boston. The fuel economy is less than desireable on this car, which truly is its only down-side. I'v held on to this car for five years and I intend to keep it for another five if possible!"

"I'll start by saying that this still is the coolest looking car on the road. BUT if you arent going to go for the sxt or better DONT BOTHER. I bought my 05 with 60,000 miles and by 65K I had already dumped nearly $1,000 into this thing. The front suspension is GARBAGE! Three sets of tie-rod ends and upper and lower control arms in 5000 miles is unacceptable. not to mention rack and pinion, wheel hub assemblies, countless sensors, EGR valve twice. Come on Dodge put a little pride in your vehicles not just the models sporting your gas hungry HEMIS!!!!! Oh and whoever had the idea to put a 2.7L engine into a 5000+ lb car should be shot I need to shave after my 0-60 time. Anyone who tells you the SE model is a good car hasnt got to 63000 miles yet."

"$25,000 2005 dodge magnum(lemon) rt awd sits in the shop every other month!! overpriced, falls a part, cheap cheap cheaply made and the chrysler doesnt take responsibility for it. whoever let this car leave the factory and whoever knows of all the problems it has should man up and take responsibility.... how long have you been making cars again?... it should be about time to put something more reliable out there for hard working people that pay for something they depend on for making a living... is that too much to ask? Hope you feel good about rippin people off on a cheap car and reaping on the problems it has, for instance, torque converter goes twice under 90,000 miles and that is not even scraping the top layer of the barrel. Recall recall and reimburse ought to be demanded for all the unsatisfied dodge lemons out there."

"the only thing I would change is I wish I would've got the V8, other than that I love this car. It would be nice if it had a third row also, but I still love it"

"Overall I would recommend this car to anyone. I purchased an 05' SXT with around 40k miles. It now has about 77k and I've had limited issues with it. The only issue I've really encountered is suspension/wheel related. Had rattling in the front right wheel when I turned hard to the right. Got that fixed then had crackling sound when I went over bumps (No matter how small). Got that fixed then a constant squeel from the rear. It turned out that the rear caliper got slightly warped and beat on my rotor... Maybe it was my mechanic not knowing what they're doing etc. Other than that, the vehicle has been extremely reliable. The car is very comfortable. I've taken it on trips that take over 2hrs and I felt like I was sitting in my livingroom! Great amount of space throughout the vehicle as well. I work in law enforcement and I have A LOT of gear. All of it always fits without a problem. Performance wise the vehicle excels as well. I only have the 3.5L but it gets up and goes when I need it to. Handles great on the highway and everyday travels as well. Due to the fact that its a rear wheel drive, I would absolutely recommend another vehicle for the winter however. With that said though, I've had a Ford Mustang and a Nissan 240SX and the Magnum well out performs them in the snow as they were both RWD too."
