2007 Dodge Magnum consumer reviews

We have both the SRT8 and the R/T AWD Magnum. In my 30 plus years of being a "car person" I don't think I have found the equal in value, performance and street appeal. The SRT8 is a true American Performance car and the R/T AWD poses no problems in any weather. Sure you can pick any car apart about the use of leather or "the plastic look", but (after drag-racing as a hobby for over ten years) I know cars, and if you want a true performer that will pull away from many cars two and three times what you pay for the SRT8, then check one out. It has been flawless since 9/2006. (Bought both within a month of each other) My wife drives the R/T and loves it, so do the kids, plenty of room, 5 star crash rating, power and looks that start conversations all the time-from all age groups. Dodge has a winner with the Magnum and makes one for any level of performance and/or practical daily use. I am very confident that some of the surprised BMW, Corvette and "others" have not gone to work and told their buddies that a station wagon slapped them down. Best bang around for under $40 K, and more.

I found the practicality of this car as wonderful as the versatility. I think its fabulous how you can have the economy and the power all built into one. This is truly a work of art. The simple yet sleek lines, versus the bold grill and deep dish wheels make for an image forever to be etched in your mind. The price is right for this car, considering all the options available.

Once they finished designing a car with a 10" rear window and a chest-high beltline, did DaimlerChrysler's designers ever try backing out of a garage, parallel parking, or any other activity that required being able to see what's behind the vehicle? The Magnum's design seems to be the automotive equivalent of platform shoes. Given the right place and the right circumstances, their appearance can be powerfully attractive despite lack of function. It just may not be right for the real world.
