Ownership: 2005 Dodge MagnumOwnershipThe Magnum surely won't appeal to all tastes, but if you're taken by its striking appearance, it's certainly worth a closer look. The roomy interior and ample cargo space make it an appealing SUV alternative, with better road manners and head-turning styling in its favor. The Hemi-powered Magnums, although certainly more fun to drive than the six-cylinder models, can be startlingly thirsty, despite the presence of the highway-biased Multiple Displacement System. The 3.5L variant is the best package for most consumers. Magnum pricing is highly competitive, and the Chrysler Group's warranty terms--including seven-year/70,000-mile powertrain coverage--are generous. Review the IntelliChoice Ownership Cost Value ratings closely, however, as there's notable variance among trims and drivetrains. Find the right combination for you, and you'll be rewarded with a distinct, rewarding machine with the heart of a muscle car.
