2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
Ride and handling is very good and responsive for a large wagon. It looks aggressive and fast just sitting in the driveway!!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?
Hot rod style.
Comfortable roomy interior.
Solid.
Oh, ya and it's got a HEMI!!!
VERY responsive handling for a large wagon., @5.9 - 0-60 it's plenty QUICK!! AND YOU can STILL GET 27 MPG on the hwy!
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
A little more high-end interior looks!!
Was a mistake for Dodge to put the small v6 in a 4000lb car.
The 3.5 is the min for the mag, the HEMI IS THE WAY TO GO.
2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
Overall the Magnum R/T and the LX line up is Dodge's best in a long time! A real head turner! it will be a collectible in the near future!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?
I love the way it feels when you ride a corner tight and fast. Seems to float on air around large on/off ramps that allow you to accelerate sharply.
My kids love it and think it is a RACE car because of the dual exhaust and the humm of the HEMI. Bad Ass.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
Seems to bog down when I get on it as though it is flooding.
Not a big fan of the bump shifter.
2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
Overall - I love this car. I have wanted one from the first time I saw the commercial with the 2x4 in the back and the gut in the ford asked "do that thing have a HEMI in it?" - "you about to find out" - 0-60 quick and the AWD R/T all tires grounded - License plate 'MOVE'.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?
Looks great, rides nice and has plenty of room for a family of 4.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
3.5l motor should have been the smallest available motor.
Better quality materials would be nice.
2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
I have an se with the 2.7l motor. If you plan on getting a magnum, get the 3.5l or hemi. Fuel efficiency on the 2.7l is not impressive and the motor doesn't have enough power for a car of this size. The seats are comfortable and has plenty of leg room. Not to mention it has fantastic looks for a wagon. I'm not impressed though with the fit and finish of the car. Chrysler really cheaped out the interior. Lights on my hvac controls no longer work and the rear passenger window works when it wants to. I notice an occasional shudder from the transmission and my check engine light comes on and off occasionally (problems never happen though when I bring it to a mechanic, typical). While I do love the looks, size and ride, I wouldn't recommend getting one unless you really wanted a magnum.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?
I love the styling. I love the looks I get...even with three car seats in the back, I can still turn heads. My wife says it is a very "sexy" car and she's not sure she likes me driving it. Very roomy, great storage, great handling, and I actually love the simple clean interior. Many people say it isn't nice enough...I love simple and clean.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
The front cupholders are awkward with the shifter. A big cup gets hit when you shift into drive. Otherwise perfect!
2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
I have had my Magnum since the summer of 2006 and I have NEVER had to take it to the shop...NEVER. I haven't had even one problem in almost four years!! It is the best car I have ever owned! It has about 40,000 miles on it so far. I have actually been afraid to drive it much since they don't make them anymore...if someone totals my precious Magnum, I can't get another one. I LOVE this car.

Very spacious.
Good mileage for a car that size.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
Should have only put the 3.5 or bigger in it. The 2.7 is just too small.

Excellent for looks and if you have a family.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?
Personalizing with aftermarket add ons, I've done My WAGGNUM with great taste, It's beautiful! Engine accepts soo many modifications, there is a ton of horsepower hiding in the SRT-8. Very comfortable, very attractive in BLACK, handles like an expensive Mercedes, pretty much glued to the road, might be because the drive-train IS Mercedes.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
No spare tire.
Looks mean but 2-inches higher would be a blessing to all who own one (truth be told) Yes we have to be careful pulling in.
O.E.M. brakes are retarded E.B.S. brakes are the answer for sure, (What brake dust?)
Rev limiter a no no only because it'll die out and fall on it's face.
2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
I could not buy a 1964 dodge with a Hemi for $4.700.00, God knows I wanted to, now I've a new computer car Hemi, I'm quite happy with it, what the folks at dodge giveth in respect to tuning for the average buyer----Diablo Sport Prediter will take away and make your srt-8 a screamer. Long live our MAGGIES!
