2008 Dodge Magnum consumer reviews

135k miles, 2nd owner since 2013, added over 100k miles since purchase. Minimal repairs, excellent road/highway car, quiet, stable and smooth; Holds everything needed for long family trips. Stay on top of oil and fluid changes and it will run another 100k.

My husband and I have owned our 2008 Dodge Magnum for almost 10 years, and we have had to have a few normal wear and tear things fixed over the last year. Our Magnum is currently at 230,000 miles, and it still has a lot of life left! The interior has held up very well and the durability of thw car has been way better than we expected (being that this was the 1st Dodge we owned). I definitely recommend the 2008 Magnum!

We loved it! Powerful, Sleek,Fast, cornered beautifully, very roomy, Worth every penny. Comfortable. Only car that ever caught my eye. Just be careful when purchasing a extended warrenty. Beware of small print.read everything.

A great example of a sleek, comfortable AWD wagon that beats any SUV. The 2008, sadly the last year and with many improvements, is essentially a rodded-look wagon based on a Charger. The AWD system is from the Mercedes E-Class (when Daimler & Chrysler were friends). The Chryco 3.5L six is good on the highway, and medium (not high) performance, but it has great ride, looks, and just plain comfort (seats, adjustable pedals, etc.). I am taking steps now to preserve it--body and mechanicals, and have three other cars, DODGE--BRING THIS BACK! These '08 AWDs will be a classic.

I love my mag is perfect is big and comfortable has great power has the space of suv i wanted it for so long but i finally got it

I LOVE my 2008 Dodge Magnum R/T. I've wanted one since I could start driving. Even after 4 years of ownership I still love this car. It's worth mentioning it's quite a rare car. 2008 was the last model year for the Magnum; it was then replaced by the Journey. One of the most surprising experiences I've had with the car is its dependability. No matter the weather, hot, freezing, rain, snow... it has started and ran every time. Since it's basically a stationwagon version of the Charger, there's no shortage of storage space, especially with the rear seats folded down. Perhaps the best part about the car is how it drives, the handling is surprisingly good for a big car. Putting a HEMI in a stationwagon is a marvelous decision. You can't complain too much from getting 340 horsepower and 24 mpg highway for big car pre-2010. This car is happiest on the highway doing 65 mph. Great road-trip car. The Boston Acoustic sound system does not disappoint either. If I were to be picky, the only two downfalls of this car in my opinion is the 5-speed transmission and minor discomfort in the front seats after long periods of driving. I'm 6'1 so there isn't much upper-back support for me. The 5 speed isn't problematic it's just slow to downshifting to lower gears from when you need to accelerate to pass someone.

Very reliable. Lots of leg room. Very spacious interior. Easy to add aftermarket products. great engine performance.

I just drove from el paso to austin and back, then to odessa and back, and it was one of the most comfortable trips in a car i have ever driven. the deal from the dealer was great, aside from the "as is" clause, but a great deal nonetheless. The response from the site was spot-on. I put in the request and had a response within 24 hours, and an offer within 4 days. I will be using this site again if I choose to purchase another vehicle.

I like the room in the interior. I do not like that the flashers stay on even after you turn, you have to manually turn them off. i dont like the fact that there aren't over head lights on the interior that light the whole car, there are some in the front and some by the doors in the back seat, that is not enough lighting. I also do not like that there aren't more heating vents in the back. These are all minor the major dislike is no awd, which would have cost a few thousand more to purchase. Overall I am happy with the car, it seems safe.

I bought Magnum after owning many SUV's, a sports sedan and a crossover. This car has performance, a great sounding engine and you can fit the dog, 2 kids and your wife! I get as many compliments on the Magnum as I do for my Ragtop Mustang GT. With cylinder deactivation Fuel economy is good on the highway at about 22 but subpar around town at 15. It probably doesn help that I use the 0-60 automatic timing feature standard on the RT. The all wheel drive handles well for performance and in poor weather conditions. The fit and finish is typical mediocre Dodge type stuff ( if you are familiar with imports tighter gaps, softer materials and less rattles). However there is no import that looks, sounds or has the utility of an RT AWD Magnum. They should've never cancelled the model as those of that have the unique look, fun and practicality they offer over almost anything.
