The Dodge Magnum was built for only a few short years and we think it's destined to become a future classic. Here's a guide to shopping for one.
takes that nod and earns a pile of extra credit for being offered with a high-performance V variant with an available manual. But the Magnum's combination of looks and everyday-branded availability made it accessible to enthusiasts of virtually any budget. Sadly, due at least partially to Chrysler's cringeworthy build quality at the time, many of them are. Cleaner ones far more difficult to find and it's only a matter of time before they'll be truly scarce.
Put simply, though, wagons are cool. This is a wagon that happened to come with not one, but two potent American V8s. The Magnum was an early pioneer of Dodge's LX-led performance revival and was one of the first cars to wear the SRT-8 badge. We won't mince words: the Magnum, broadly, was not Chrysler at its best. Models produced for the 2005-2007 model years especially came with dreary cabins and a borderline-asthmatic base engine. The 2.
While there's often nuance involved in picking the best version of a car, this one's pretty straightforward: the SRT-8 is where it's at. It was the only model offered with the 6.1-liter V8, and while its performance is paltry by the standards of modern SRT models, it was the biggest, baddest Hemi rocket on the road in 2006. Unless you're only in it for the aesthetic and find a super clean V6, you're better off springing for SRT-8, or even the R/T.
