Anyone have a Magnum?
« on: October 16, 2007, 09:03:32 am »
We are looking into purchasing a new (or, newish) Dodge Magnum. We're waiting on the dealer to get us a deal on one (like a 2006 or 2007 for approx 19G). Anyone have any experience with these? I think they'd be great for the dogs...

My husband and I test drove one last May it was a year old at that time so I would say a 2006.  It was pretty basic just electric windows and door locks - pretty color red - but the seats were soooo hard and I found it hard to see out the back windows to the side - the blind spot - we were considering that our son will be learning to drive in March and didn't think this was the car for us - but it is very sharp looking - definately take a long test drive for those seats (or maybe they have changed since then)

And of course this is just my opinion!!

Good luck

LOL First thing I thought of was you got a new dog  :)  My sister's first dog was named Magnum~!  I've heard good things about the car, but never driven one.

I test drove one when they first came out. It was awesome of course it had all the bells and whistles. Yes it had a Hemi and it really can hang in there in a sharp curve ;D I think the salesman was a little scared as he sat in the back seat :o I would get one if I could afford it.

i looked at magnums, they are sharp looking but i didnt like the fact that they were an average of 19mpg. thats just tooooo low for me for a vehicle. im looking at the older VUEs instead. i dont like the shape of the new ones, but i do like the older ones
Shes not a dog... shes a Great Dane!

Darcy's manager (at work) has a VUE. she really really likes it. they are pretty darn fancy! :)but a bit pricy for us, and we dont have a saturn dealer near us, we had a saturn before and it was a PITA to fix when it would need new parts
