I love this car!!!
I've owned this car for about three months now, I read all of the reviews before I purchased this car. I got it at a steal. I wish I could have gotten more of the upgrades that I've gotten used to through the years. Like leather and sunroof and the radio controls on the steering wheel, but to get those upgrades I would have had to purchase the hemi, which wasn't in my budget nor did it make sense with gas prices on the rollarcoaster ride these days. And it has hub caps, I had no clue that they still made those things anymore! That was a major disapointment for me, but upgrading the rims isn't that costly. I absoulty love my car though, it's as good on gas as my Impala, but it's roomy like an SUV with out feeling like a bus. It lacks a bit in power with the small v6 but don't get me wrong it has enough power to move the car with no problem. It's slower at the start but it has more power on top end.

Best car I have had.
I bought my 07 Magnum in Nov. of 08 and for the past 6 months it has been the best car that I have owned in the 15 years that I have been driving. This car had 34,000 miles on it when I got it and you would think it had 0. I hope to put alot more on this beautiful car. I can trust this car in the city or on the hiway with no problems.

Great Car
I just bought my 07 R/T AWD Magnum last Nov. of O8 and I love it. I have traded 5 vehicles in the last 5 years and I believe I will be keeping my magnum for a while. I am 6'3" and I fit in great with plenty of room for my tall friends in the back. It definitly has the speed that you need and gets average gas mileage. I previously owned an 06 pathfinder and believe it or not this gets better gas mileage. I have put my own touches on the mag. and I love the look. I bought the car with 3800 miles on it and have 6,000 on it now so it is still being broken in. Great car for the money!

I Love My Hemi
I special ordered my 05 R/T with tons of toys. The heated seats are the best. I absolutely LOVE my car. I have had no problems with anything. I've had it 4 years now and still love it! It handles and holds the road perfectly not to mention the great power of the HEMI. Gas mileage is pretty good for a car with guts, 17 City 23 Hwy. People stare at me all the time, it is a BEAUTIFUL car!

overall review
I bought my 2007 Dodge Magnum SXT Dec 07'. I enjoy the car overall. I'm 6'3" and I fit comfortably in the front seat as well as the back set. The cargo room in the back once you let the seats down is great. It almost reminds of the old el camino. I've hauled wood for a deck, and I've moved my sister's furniture. The power is respectable. Although you won't peal rubber from a take off, you won't be left behind either. My car has 250 horses and the torque to match, and it passes on the expressway with ease. I've driven thru a Chicago winter. Not once did I get stuck nor did I slide out of control. My magnum is rear wheel drive and although I'm a good driver the car handles well in the snow as well as dry pavement. Everybody likes my car, they think it's a cool design and I must agree. However I did have a transmission leak. The seal or o ring was leaking a little, the dealer knew exactly what I was talking about when I called and they replaced the seal;it was still under warranty and I haven't had a problem since. I currently have 36k miles on the car and I hope to get 200k miles on it just like I did with my 1996 Buick Riviera. Yes I drive a lot of miles. Also the attenna being mounted to the window is not such a good idea, because when you turn on the defogger the radio station doesn't come in as clear. Other than the transmission issue and the defogger. I haven't had any trouble with it nor any complaints.

LEMON
I will never make the same mistake twice. I have a Magnum RT, I love the look and room the car has. But looks are not everything. I purchached my Magnum new and have had nothing but problems with it. It has been to the shop 10 time within the last 4 months. I have had front bakes replaced, rear brakes replaced, parking brake is making a metal to metal noise when you drive the car. It has been in the shop 5 times for the parking brake and it is still not fixed. The car will surge forward when you are stoped. The car has died when I was driving it twice. The trans. got stuck in 3rd gear and had to be towed to the shop. There is still a problem with the trans. Ohh, I allmost forgot the air went out also. Maybe the car was made on a Friday. This is the wost car I have ever owned. This is the first and the last Dodge I will purchase. The car is due to go into the shop in 4 days to see a Dodge Rep. so the can drive it. Wish me luck ;(

My Baby Mag
I previously owned a Dodge Durango and loved it. When my husband traded in my Durango for a 2007 Magnum SE as a 2007 Mother's Day surprise, I was a little apprehensive. The first time I drove her, I wasn't happy at all. I took the on ramp to I5 and it seemed to take forever to get up that ramp! With a little more time and getting used to, I knew how to better handle my Magnum and absolutely love it! I am a mother of 2 and feel absolutely secure when transporting my "Precious Cargo." Also, we love to travel and find the MPG for freeway driving to be great! Though I miss my Durango, I cannot see myself letting go of Mag any time soon. For Mother's Day 2008, Mag received 20" rims and boy is she a beauty!

The last car I'll ever buy!!
I have owned more cars than I can count. I would trade in my car for a new one about once a year, usually when registration was due. But in 20 years of doing this I've never owned a Dodge, until now. I have just bought my last car!! I love it! It looks great and has great power. It also catches your eye because they aren't over sold like some cars. I drive from AZ to Ca and that 5 hour drive seems like nothing w/ my Hemi. I have a lead foot so power is important and I am very happy!! I recommend this car for experienced drivers as it does have a pretty good size blind spot.

SRT8 Magnum
This is by far the best car that I have owned! I love the power of the 6.1 engine. It handles like a car half it's size! Take one for a test drive and you will hate me! You will end up buying one! The only complaint that i have is getting used to the front facia, (it will scrape on the parking blocks, curbs or out of driveways). If you want a wagon that will do what a wagon should and go and play with the Vetts and Mustangs, this is your car.

Cool Wagon
I didn't need the power of a Hemi, so I went with the base model SE. It handles well in city trafic, which I am in most and it has enough "go" to get me where I need to be and to pass safely. The seats are taking a little getting use to. I don't know if station wagons were cool before the mini van, but I own a cool wagon now. I love the exterior styling and have heard complaints about the windows in the back being too small when you are backing up. I haven't noticed and I back into my parking space at work and at home. There are a couple of blind spots that may be problematic. The only complaint that I have is with the outside mirrors. They just seem to be in the way while cornering, but are great for checking traffic behind you. The speakers could be a little better also, but it seems like the ergonomics are good.
