Best car I've ever owned!

The performance, styling and utility of the R/T Hemi model is outstanding. A very comfortable cruiser on the highway with options to rival much more expensive cars, especially being a 2005.

Great Truck

Our salesman, Tom Smith, was very knowledgeable. He gave us a great deal and had everything ready when we came to the Dealership to sign the papers. We would recommend Tom to all of our friends when buying their next car or truck. Great truck. Nice and clean. Ran very smooth. Reasonabley priced.

Smooth Long Ride

Bought this 2005 with only 39K miles back in 2013. I have had little to no mechanical failures with it. It drives great and runs forever

The only car I will buy!

This is actually my 3rd Magnum. The first two met an unexpected, rather unfortunate early demise but I liked the first two so much that it's become my only desired mode of transportation. From the spacious seating, room and raw utility power to the slick, streamlined luxuries and comfort, the Dodge Magnum has grabbed my attention, held my interest and exceedingly met my needs and wants in my everyday vehicle. With all the best of the worlds of luxury, sport and utility, Dodge Magnum is definitely an emeritus of its class.

250K and it runs like new

This car features the reliable 5.7L Hemi mated to a 5 speed Mercedes transmission. It also has the Mercedes 5 link rear design suspension. Faster than any 2005 full size sedan. 4.6 and old 5.0 Mustangs don't stand a chance against this beast.

250K and still like new

250,000 miles and all i've changed are upper control arms and a radiator. This is a great car with a 5 speed Mercedes transmission and Hemi that in 2005 could only be overtasken in a Corvette. 18 MPG, thanks to cylinder deactivation. Still worth about 3 grand even with all of the miles on it. Believe me it still runs like the day I bought it.

Delightfully amazing powerhouse

This car is a complete pleasure to own and drive. the 5.7 HEMI does surprise as it puts power immediately to the pavement (a few times at stopsigns in the rain I heard the back wheels spin - I need to be mindful of my pedal pressure). Traction control is amazing, stereo is base with Sat and CD, with 6 very nice loud speakers. Cons: cruise control is in odd place. turn signal controller I do not like... does not automatically go off after a turn, must be manually done. wiper control is weird, too many controls on one controller arm. lots of room inside, looks bigger outside than it actually is.
