2005 Dodge Magnum SXT review from North America

Warped rotors (premature wearing) and a misc. brake problem that I can't recall, but basically something came loose; but was repaired with the rotors.

Have owned the car since new, 2005.

Have high praise for the car. Very comfortable ride, good performance with the V6, not overly thirsty and handles nicely.

Repair costs have been low, especially for an American car, and especially considering the high use and towing I have put the car through!

Lots of towing room and power. Added roof rack for added versatility.

Very unique, very nice looks.

Since being discontinued, there are very good deals on these cars, and I can recommend buying one, as long as you get one with decent mileage on it and a good service record.

A shame more people didn't buy these, as they are a great alternative to the minivan!

Only improvement would be tighter suspension (may have been improved in later models, and definitely improved on the R/T versions). Perhaps nicer interior materials too, but American cars aren't known for their interiors are they?

Recommended add-ons:

Did a dual-exhaust upgrade on my SXT model, as the undercarriage (being the same as the R/T) is already setup for a dual muffler exhaust. Greatly improved sound and performance!

Also added CAI which further improved performance and mileage.

The R/T model I hear comes highly recommended as well!
