2005 Dodge Magnum SE review from North America
"The car is great for moving things and going anywhere. Nothing is like it on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My sensor for the air bag on the passenger's side went bad. I went to the DODGE dealership and got it re-calibrated.
The gas mileage at first was not right, but I think the dealership also did something with that.
(notice all repairs are under warranty and at NO cost to me)
Some parts are made of cheap plastic parts (i.e. the seat-belt buckle, inside of armrest, molding on doors, etc.)
General comments?
Overall this is a Good car. The 2.7L V6 is great for commuter travel NOT FOR PERFORMANCE. The Oil must be changed religiously or the oil WILL sludge up. The handling is excellent around corners and on the freeway. The Magnum is great for space, the back seat lets down for a "boat load" of space.
