1978 Dodge Magnum XE review from North America
"A good comfortable highway cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windshield wipers quit. Plastic piece broke due to age and wear.
Flip headlight stopped working. Bad motor.
General comments?
Great styling for 70's "B" body car.
Comfortable and easy car to drive.
Excellent handling for heavy car due to torsion bar suspension.
Parts difficult to find due to car age.
Never met a Magnum owner that didn't like the car.
