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.

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.

2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
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!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?
The look of the Magnum is really nice.
The SRT8 has a lot of power and we love the sound of that large engine.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
The SRT8 is no surprise, rear wheel drive and is very bad in the snow.
The gas mileage is unimpressive and could be improved.

2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
We love our SRT8 Magnum. It looks great in black. We are very impressed with this car.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?
I have an RT - I love the get up and go of the Hemi, the sound system and body design.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
- The inability to control rear AC. The vents barely blow, so the kids burn up. Would be great if a fan is built in the rear.
- Skimmed on interior upgrades besides sound system.
- A better grill would be nice (standard option).
- I bought the car used and have had it for less than a year (now at 28k) and had to take it to the shop twice. First the service engine light came on due to a busted transmission hose. Second, there is a grinding/rumbling noise when I turn at medium speeds. Dodge states nothing is wrong with it, but I beg to differ (so no resolution on this YET).

2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
Overall, I am satisfied.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?
Space is great for a grown man, and a lot of his needs.
Throwback style.
Handles well.
Most of the amenities are solid.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
I now have 53,000 on my SE version of this car and here are my issues: Tread Ware on 75,000 mile tires, my blinker sticks and it's hard to see behind the steering wheel, my rear window sticks occasionally.

Heres some real issues:The car completely stalled out (Power and all) from a dirty air filter, oops my fault but some warning would have been nice as it almost killed me. Now I'm having some kind of electrical problem involving the keyless entry keeping me from turning the starter over, and it's popping a fuse in the box in the rear of the car? Stay Tuned..........

2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
Doh well, wonder why they need a bailout? Love my American vehicles but these kinda of issues question your loyalties........

gas mileage, hard to adjust rearview mirror, door storage compartments, visibility backing out of parking spots.

2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
Overall, I love the car, but the storage compartments on the doors are not that good and the center console storage is less than ideal. Other than that, this car is awesome.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
Would allow more distance between the edge of the front seats and the console. Have dropped cell phone, etc and are impossible to retrieve without stopping vehicle and opening back door in order to reach dropped item.

2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
Since July 2005, I have been the very proud owner of of a 2006 Dodge Magnum with a HEMI. These cars are great in any weather conditions. I always feel like I am driving a luxury vehicle when I take it out of the driveway for any reason. I love my Magnum.

2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
I have 2, an SRT8 and a R/T AWD, both are a great value for the money. Looks, performance and value with minor improvements the Magnum can be a front runner in the American Production market. I do NOT like the 08 SRT8, it looks like a Magnum with a Dakota grill. They took away the "look" that makes the SRT8 stand out.

Get the motor to work without spending so much time in the shop. (20 days in the first six months.) Provide no-hassle replacement vehicle to drive while the warranteed product is at the dealer for warrantee repairs.

2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
Except for breaking down frequently its a nice car. Why on earth should someone be making a car payment and paying for car rentals while the dealer's busted product is in the shop for constant repairs?

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Dodge Magnum?
Discussion starting looks, performance and value. We have both an R/T and a SRT8. Wife loves the AWD R/T and the SRT8 is great.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Dodge Magnum?
Both need more agressive exhaust, perhaps lower the AWD R/T and work on the brake dust on the SRT8.

2006 Dodge Magnum Review:
These two Super Wagons are in a class by themselves. Looks, quality, performance and everyday use. You fel like you are driving a much more expensive, engineered automobile.
