News and reviews on
new motor vehicle
R o rtìa n d O b s e rv e r A u i o R e v ie w
It was not long ago when consumers
were reluctant to purchase a Dodge prod­
uct, how ever Dodge has changed its prod­
ucts. The new look ofD odge is b o ld , hot rod
and heavy duty. The new Dodge Magnum
is a full-size American crossover vehicle
with spacious cargo capacity and is avail­
able with all wheel drive. They have taken
what once was the family station wagon
and re packaged the exterior to give it a bold
hot-rod flare.
The Magnum SX Tcom es w ith a 3.5 liter
high-output 24 valve with 250 horsepower.
The 2005 SXT model is also offered with
five-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.
The other M agnum models available are
the SE($21,870), 2.7-liter aluminum V6or the
R /T ($29,370) w itha5.71iterV 8 H em i.The
Hemi is equipped with the multi-displace­
ment system (M D S) which allows the en­
gine to run on 4 cylinders when not as much
horsepower is needed, allowing an increase
in the fuel economy o f the vehicle. You will
not be able to feel the change from 4 to 8
cylinders but you will see the results when
you need the extra power.
Certain vehicles may give one a feeling
of power and strength behind the wheel.
The 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT
Tested Vehicle Information: Price $27,435; Engine: 3.5L High-Output 24-valve V6: Transmission:
Four-Speed Automatic.

The Dodge M agnum is one of those. Even
though there is plenty o f power the accel­
eration it is smooth, allowing your neck not
to snap back when stomping on the accel­
erator. The M agnum excels with its smooth
and solid ride, tight handling and quiet
cabin.
Optional equipm ent on Leather trim med
bucket seats, heated and power front seats,
eight-way pow erdri ver seat, 17-inch painted
aluminum wheels, cargo com partm ent cov­
ers and net, anti-lock four-wheel brakes and
all-speed traction control. Another item that
is becom ing increasingly popular is the
pow er adjustable pedals, this feature is
especially popular with consum ers that are
under average height because it allow s the
pedal to be raised to a higher level so that
one does not have to put a pillow behind
their back or sit on top o f the steering wheel
to drive.
W hile driving around town I received
several positive responses about the style
and bold look the M agnum showcases al­
though one person thought that it look like
a hearse with tinted rear windows. I can see
sales rising in the D aim lerC hrysler Motors
