What Owners are Saying About the 2006 Dodge Magnum
"Great value and versatility."
"We have owned this car for quite some time and just love about every aspect. It has the 3.5 V6 which supplies adequate power and economy at the same time. Nothing spectacular but better than expected. It rides and drives well, smooth, fairly quiet, and is comfortable. It is an AWD and here in the Ozarks it's almost a necessity. Otherwise it's a pretty plain SXT without all the bells and whistles. It does have a sunroof, power driver seat, power locks (keyless entry), and a decent sound system. As for the style, the uniqueness is the most satisfying - you just don't see yourself coming and going but after so many years, it starts getting a little old and boring. So what do you do if you want to keep the car and make it a bit different? We put a nice aftermarket roof rack on it, BBS wheels, and a little pinstriping none of which cost much but changed it enough to make it like a new car to us. Evidently it's attractive because we get compliments we never expected. Would I recommend a Magnum? A definite "YES" if you can find one to your liking."
"Reliable and fun to drive"
"My husband and I each owned a 2005 Magnum RT. Both were reliable, powerful cars and very pleasurable to drive. Neither one of us ever had to have any major work done. The interior was not as plush as I like but it was very comfortable and attractive. And the exterior styling was beautiful. I could never figure out why car reviewers gave the car such poor ratings. The car was a great hauler of people and cargo and fun to drive! I think Chrysler Corporation just had bad market timing with this vehicle; it will be a classic car in years to come."
"Excellent"
"The best highway cruiser I've ever owned. Even with the Hemi I get highway gas mileage in the 21-24 mpg range. Enough room for my family of four and enough punch for the dragstrip. I've seen the cars out there that sell for the same price and they aren't near the value of the Magnum. Mine is black and looks like a hot rod hurse."
