Hi there.... I'm from upstate New York. ust bought a 2006 Dodge Magnum SXT this past November. Sure gets alot of attention when I drive it.
Yep... I'll be putting some anti-sway bars on it soon. I'd also like to lower it a couple of inches, but I think if you don't lower a car properly, it can really mess up your suspension geometry. I also plan to add a honeycomb grill, a dual tailpipe kit or at least a chrome exhaust tip, and ditch the OEM Goodyears and go with a softer compound tire. Other than that, I will keep the car pretty much stock. No hood scoops, graphics kit or what not. I'm keeping that "dark" look.
Greetings, and welcome from Ontario. I've caught myself thinking about getting a magnum wagon a couple of times, but the rear blind spot view and lack of a 3rd row seat kind of turns me off... That, and I can't afford one either. What's it like driving one?
welcome Mag i gotta go with War on the blind spot...i borrowed dear old dads the other day...that was the 1st thing i noticed...otherwise ...nice lil bomb
Yeah, I have a 2006 SXT which has the 250 hp 3.5. They were about $27,000 new, so I bought a used one with about 16k miles and paid about $17,000 (before taxes, financing, etc.) The car looks new, not a ding on it, so it's like new anyways. It seems the car was a fleet vehicle up in Canada before I bought it. It sounds and feels like a V8 under acceleration... easy to get some tire spin when the ground is wet and I stomp the gas hard. Which I do wayyy too much... So far, it handles good through the snow. Yeah there are blind spots to get used to, but the cars are pretty tough in accidents. They take a rollover pretty good. I get about 21 mpg highway/city combined and about 26-27 mpg on the highway if I drive it gentle. One things for sure.... I get alot of looks and compliments on it. It definately stands out from alot of other cars on the road.....:banana:
