the interior is not up to the rest of the car. materials are neon-like and nothing fits all that well. i am of short stature and find the front seats to be abyssmal. you sit on them, not in them. way too much "lumbar effect" even at the minimal setting. but the worst thing is the rattles from the dash, console and rear cargo area. on the freeway, it is a CONSTANT crescendo of squeaks and rattles. naturally, they come and go (usually when i am at the dealer's they go). very un-germanic, that. worst car i've owned in years in that respect and i will probably sell the car because of it.

If you have rattles and sqeaks, tell the dealer to keep it and drive it untill they fix it.
If "neon like" interior meant bright? Not !
If you meant inexpensive, I would have to agree but MY Cadillacs, chevy's and fords are no different. The porche was a joke and Jags were not much better for the cost.
My Nissan 350-Z is almost excellent but the leather is so thin, if you leave a heavy note book or brief case on the seat in the summer, it can/has left a permanent indentation in the leather seat.

I would say the let down of the Magnum R/T wagon is it's totally screwed up transmission, 4/8-cylinder, computer operated BS.

This is the worst transmission I have ever expirienced!!!
The fuel consumption 13-mpg to 14-mpg, no matter where I drive.
It still sounds like a 1970 Datsun, WHERE's THE BEEF ?????

Oh yeh, lets not forget the play stick shift, designed to give you the stick shift feeling....While seated and in first gear, you floor it...it is next to your hip...the natural movement to reach the stick or to shift....is to pull or bring your arm in to your body. Your arm is naturallyresting on the right outside center of the stick.
You would pull or bring your arm/hand in to shift......They have it set up for you to bring your arm in and past the stick, twist your wrist in a counterclockwise position...to an un-natural position and then push the shifter away from you.
How dumb is that ?
However, that would be perfect for a european style (right side) driver.
What's up with that ?

This is what happens when you put a product out too fast, too soon.
I'm not sure whoose transmission this is, but I'm guessing it is from a country that drives on the other side of the road. :VHOT:

Wow, I would never say any of that about the Magnum's interior. Its just as good as anything else you can get in that price range, and by far the best Chrysler interior ever in terms of fit and finish.

I said interior was OK.

I said MPG, shifter, 0-60 were BS on my vehicle.
Do you have an R/T ?

If so, how can you say the auto shift is good or even OK ?

If youre talking to me, I dont have a Magnum *yet* but I have driven two of them, neither with AutoStick though, so cant comment on that.

How many miles are on your car now? It may take up to 5000 miles before you start getting the best fuel economy.....

The tranny is MB. They drive on the same side as the US.
So, are the only complaints about the transmission the poorly implemented "auto-stick"? My guess is they wanted it to be like the "auto-stick" in previous cars. Doesn't make it good, but I understand why it was done.
I am thinking about a Magnum as I have a 3rd child on the way and my current car (M3) is not going to work.

Well....as far as a grocery getter...it's excellent !
As far as a "Sports Car...Muscle car" not even close yet.
My local dealer claimed to have chips, headers, valves, etc... and thats the only reason I settled for it.
Jax. Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep on (9-A in Jax. Fl.) largest Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep store in North America.
I guess their salesmanship (BS) matches their store size.

Why would they put a 282 rear end in a sports car ?
This last tank of gas got me 11-mpg by useing the autostick only.

Fuel consumption SUCKS !!! Literally !

I don't know what the trouble with your cars are, but.... I've had my R/T since May 8th and now have a little over 10k miles on it. I average 18-19 in combo driving, about 22-23 on the highway and 16-17 in town. If you are winding up the engine at every opportunity and "racing" from light to light, why would you expect mileage to anything but what you've gotten? I've gotten as high as 26.5 on the highway from Nashville to Atlanta....
As far as the AutoStick goes, get used to it; I don't have any trouble with it at all and it feels very natural, unless of course there is a drink in the cupholder. Mountain roads are a pleasure to upshift and downshift manually in. The tranny shifts as smoothly as ANY car that I've owned and most that I've driven (including Mercedes, BMW, Acura, Jag, et al).
My interior doesn't rattle, sqeak or otherwise make anything more than normal noise. The car will certainly be louder than a small car simply due to the interior volume. I suggest that you ride in comparably sized vehicles to guage interior noise levels (Escalade, Aviator, etc) I think that you'll find the Magnum very comparable.
It sounds like you're disappointed with your car. I'm sorry. I absolutely love mine. For the money, I couldn't find a car that even came close in terms of fit, finish, performance and styling. I suppose we are the reason that there are so many different cars on the road. Sure, there are things that COULD be changed so that car might suit ME better, but overall, I don't think DOdge could've done much better. Different strokes for different folks.

At over 4000 pounds and almost the same room as the Ford Explorer and at least $25,000 less than th M5 Go for it. Personally I cannot wait to lay a nice tasty patch as I leave the next soccer game. Having fallen into the soccer dad role I cannot stomach the idea of a minivan. The magnum is a prefect answer. In a perfect world my daily drive would be the Viper. At 340 Horsepower and who knows what kind of mods will be possible. I'll take one.

In a straight line the Magnum might make a good run at the M3 and moded out might just take the M5. :rck:

"Personally I cannot wait to lay a nice tasty patch as I leave the next soccer game"

That's great!!!!
I have decided that I am looking forward to it. Black RT, with the matte black grill louvers from the lower models. (the less chrome, the better) I need to not be concerned with numbers. There's supercharger kit coming out soon... http://www.kennebell.net/superchargers/dodge/hemi57/hemi57.htm
My M3 has neck snapping acceleration shifting and handling.
That all is becoming less important to me. I'd like to keep that acceleration, though!
Does anyone make a set of coil-overs or lower/stiffer springs yet? That would be a nice looking mod... given a nice set of rims that didn't come anywhere close to looking as if they could have "spinners" on them. God, I hate those things.

Eibach is due to release their springs in a few weeks. I believe it is about a 1.5 or 1.75 inch drop. It still uses the stock shocks but hopefully they will come out with a better shock for the car soon. Not sure what the cost will be but if it is just springs shouldn't be too bad.

Sounds to me like he's racing it everywhere he goes. Remember, that's a big 5.7 ltr V8 you got in there and if you're foot is heavy then you're going to go through some gas fast. Haven't really checked the MPG on mine yet but I drove from Palm beach County to South Dade on 1/2 a tank round trip. That's about 110 miles. Not bad IMHO. I'm getting about the same gas mileage as I did in my stock PT Cruiser. Driving from South Beach to Boca every day had me filling up $20 evey other day. Now that I live closer to Boca, I have more gas to play with with that juicy Hemi. :)

As far as the interior goes, I like it. I'm 6'2" tall and about 270lbs and it fits me like a glove. Plenty of leg room as well. My brother, who is an inch taller and about 50lbs heavier than me, sat in back of the drivers seat with it all the way back and still had plenty of leg space. The dash is simple and unattrusive and everything is within reach. As far as the Auto Stick, I'm yet to even use it. Haven't needed to shift lower or higher yet. Nothing on the road next to me has posed any real need to downshift to pass it.

IMHO it's the best damn car I have ever bought.

I have an SXT and it's really surprised the heck out of me mileage wise. I just took a trip to north carolina and back and got 30mpg!! Cars only got 3,000 miles on it. I actually bought the car because I needed something with better mileage...I know, but my Jeep only gets 9mpg!! :( Sure is fun in a pile of rocks though! So far, I love everything about my Magnum, though I'm sure I'll be itchin' to start playing with it soon.

Just did a trip to chicago from omaha 500 miles each way, when i got back it had 1930 miles onit. Got 25mpg driving 80 one way and 70 the other. Had some fun with a late model mustang. He shut down at 100 i got it to 118ish before shutting down for traffic ahead. Still trying to get to the 128mph cutoff. The H speed rated tires are to 130 that why the limiter is there. V to 149, w 168 and y to 168. The 3.5 SXT pulled good all the way to 118. NExt summer i foresee some v or w rated tires in the future haha

Repeat after me --- The Magnum is NOT a sports car !!!!

You have to be kidding me if you think the Magnum/300C is even close to a sports car. This is an old fashioned Muscle Car. Just blast it off at Stop lights and forget about trying to keep up with M3's in the twisties (or the straights, for that matter) !!

And, there is no way in hell a Magnum, without some rather serious Modifications, will come close to a BMW M3 !! The BMW IS a sports car. One of the best. Have you looked at the price of a new M3 recently. You get what you pay for dudes.

So, quit trying to make the Magnum into a wanna be sports car, it ain't.

If you want good Gas Milage, you should never have purchased a Magnum RT. Have you even noticed that the engine is 5.7 liters ?? You don't get good gas milage from an engine anywhere near that size. Please enlighten me if you find one that does, cause I sure as hell don't know about it. For a 5.7 liter engine, the Magnum does real good, as long as you keep your foot out of it. Simple physics dude.

MagnumMan
10-12-2004, 09:03 PM
BlanchMan sounds like a Magnum hater! BOOOO! HISSS! BOOOO! LOL! :D

Which model of the M3 are we referring to? I just checked the specs for a stock 2004 M3 and here's what I found:

2004 BMW M3 - $55,600 MSRP
Engine type: 3.2L, 6 Cylinders
Power @ rpm, hp: 333 @ 7900
Torque @ rpm, lb-ft.: 262 @ 4900



Magnum RT - $29,370 MSRP
Engine Type: 5.7L V8 HEMI
Power @ rpm, hp: 340@5000
Torque@ rpm, lb-ft: 390@4000

I dunno man. While the specs on the B'mer are impressive, it still takes an extra 2900rpm to get it there. In torque it loses by 128 lbs-ft (big difference). And as far as price, can you imagine what we can do with a Magnum Hemi if we put the extra $26,230 that the BMW costs into it? Hmmm...

I do agree with you that the Magnum is no sports car. Hell, how can anything with four doors and a liftback be called a sports car? :D But from what I can see, our MAgnum family car station wagons still blow the doors off the M3's. :rck:

BlanchMan
10-15-2004, 03:57 PM
Nice try MagnumMan...

While I truly love my new Hemi Magnum, can I say that again... HEMI Magnum....

It will not hold a candle to a BMW M3.

Find an M3 owner, and get a ride. You will be summarily impressed, guaranteed.

I wish i could say that about the M3 or even the 7 series Bmrs i have driven both and i would have to say that BMW's are not made for a BIG MAN :) I am not saying that the magnum is better just more comfortable

Just got my wife the RT... I drive an Audi and have been through a hand full of German cars (BMW's).

M3 will smoke a RT anyday. It is much lighter with roughly the same engine output. The power band is FLAT!! It pulls from beginning to redline. This is a very unfair car to compare. The RT is fun and does have lots of power especially for a car of its size. One is a scalpel the other is a chainsaw. How much of a mess do you want to make? Choose your tool.

FACE IT. We all got the Magnum as a compromise. It was this or the van. It is a great car for the money and still leaves us some "cool" guy points.

Actually, this isn't quite correct. I love the Magnum because it embodies the spirit and badass attitude of legendary Mopar muscle-cars. I don't have a family (yet), just a single guy who loves a car with attitude. I usually enjoy playing hard rock when I drive, windows rolled down, and the Magnum just fits that mental image perfectly.

Beamers may be nice cars, but it'd be a cold day in hell before you'd catch me driving one! I wouldn't want to be seen in one! Here in Montreal, Beamers are a dime-a-dozen, the city is full of 50+-somethings driving around in their Beamers, more for the 'status symbol effect' than anything else.

Strong words maybe, but I started my driving days in a 1970 Charger, and the day I step into a Beamer is the day I give you full permission to shoot me! :rck:

BlanchMan
11-01-2004, 12:44 PM
Haha, nice post Coel.... Same way I feel dude...

Started my driving experience in a 69 SuperBee.... Wow, what an introduction...

But, I'd watch my words there. A BMW, albeit, one of the planets supreme status symbols, really is a "drivers car". Just because the majority of the people purchasing them don't have a clue, it doesn't distract from the fact that the BMW is a fine vehicle, especially the M3.

I don't think Blanchman is "hating" anything. Just pointing out that other nice cars exists. I dearly love my Magnum... My Audi is a "tighter" car though in its fit and build. Different strengths.. Different cars.

I think that we have finally recaptured the Americana' in our car lines. True enthusiasm and craftmenship is coming back. I ran around town last night BLASTING a punk/swing CD (Royal Crown Review.. great tunes) with the windows down. We drove through a got some shakes.. was asked questions and ended up popping the hood for a guy to look at. Was a scene straight from American Graffiti. NEVER WOULD HAVE FELT THE SAME IN MY GERMAN CAR!!!

BlanchMan
11-02-2004, 11:18 AM
Well said Slowcode... There is a reason i purchased my RT over all the other, great vehicles out there... And it is because I too think that some american car company's have finally started to get things right. And to my extreme surprise, one of the best right now is DC. Like i said before, this car brings back my vast enjoyment of another Chrysler product of my youth, a 69 SuperBee. I have such fond memories of that vehicle I still get wet dreams. In fact, I saw a beautiful Green Superbee the other day, and stopped to talk to the fellow. OH man, so cool... And guess what, this fella was oooooggglling the Magnum. Had to pop the hood, rev the HEMI etc. The connection between these two cars and their generations is unmistakable. I love it.... (man, that superbee was sweet !!)

Even though I would love to drive a BMW M3, I'm not. I'm driving a Magnum, and loving every bit of it. It doesn't help that I like to buy american if possible. Its just that my selection of American automobiles over the last 20 years or so has not been up to my standards. Its not my fault ???

So, the issue that started this whole thread...

That "cheesy, cheesy interior" is EXACTLY the reason I really bought the Magnum... LOL

One of my BIGGEST criticisms of american cars of the last couple decades is that there interiors SUCK !! It's true, don't deny it !! Well, check out my Magnum. This interior is great. I have grown to like its elegant simplicity more and more over the months. There are no distractions. It is quality, good fit and finish, and wow, no exposed screw-heads. I got all the options, and even then, it is not complicated. Man, I'm in love....

Keep up the good work DC, and all american car company's. I'm rooting for you.

The European car designers use a term to describe their interior designs. Masculine. Not in a made for men versus made for women kinda way. It refers to simplicity and utilitarian. Look at classic BMW or Porche. The guages are simple and in your face. The dash is square and sharp. It almost looks stripped. Look at American cars. Very curvy. Most American dash and guage panels have flamboyant fonts or non standard size Tach's and Speedos (Look at the 65 Mustang or Early Vet).

The cars are getting back to that feel. The new Magnum is influenced by GERMAN design teams. Look at the difference between the Magnum and the Impala or last year. See the influence? The Magnum has the sharp corners, simple guages. It seems almost plain. That is the beauty of it.

Look at the other HIGHLY successful American cars and you will see them emulate this. Shelby started making the Cobras using British bodies and cramming 289's in them.. He continued it in the GT350 interiors... Away with the Ford design influence and in with the brushed steel and bare simplicity. All of which was Euro influenced.

No.. I like the interior. Glad to see it toned down and not curved up. Let the car speak softly and carry big torque.

11-02-2004, 02:14 PM
You forgot to include the weight, and power to weight differences between the M3 and the Magnum RT. Not sure what they are, but I am sure there is a significant difference. What would one expect for performance, economy and handling? Let's compare apples to apples, not apples to hot peppers.
Additionally, how many 2 X 4's, fence posts, or bags of groceries can you put in the back of an M3? Can you put a wheel chair in the trunk of an M3?
All I know is that I can put lots of stuff in the back when I need to, and still have fun driving a great looking 4000 plus pound vehicle that handles great, gets descent gas mileage, and turns heads everywhere I go. Just remember, no matter what Dodge or anyone else calls it, its still a fun "station wagon"---not a sports car, performance coupe, minivan or useless yuppy SUV.

Anyway, The M3 is a true sports car. It handels much better than the Magnum ever will. It also accelerates, and stops quicker. It truely make me grin from ear to ear.

That being said, It's gotta go! :-)
The magnum is a GREAT car and for 25K less.
I'll have 3 kids in about 8 weeks.

I don't know if anyone has seen the TLC Rides show when they built the Cuda for Joe Rogan which he called sick fish, but his comment at the end pretty much sums it up. He said he has a Porsche 911 Turbo, but this car is COOL!! There is something to be said for the good old American muscle car, which everyone wants. I had my greatest comment tonight on my Magnum when I pulled up to our local corner store.

My best moment came this weekend while I was refereeing a soccer match. We were in a very rural area. As we were getting ready for the match, and the Magmun is parked in the parking lot, a couple 10 or 11 year old boys come booking by on there scooters. Nearly out of ear-shot, I here one of the kids yell out, "Oh look, a HEMI!"

I think they are very nice cars. Ours has really no noise, although I am used to driving a 1994 Ram 1500, lowered on some 20's, you want to hear rattles and squeeks, get in a 10 year old truck with stiff suspension and no nice thick tires to help soften the blow. Another thing I was cruising the ole R/T to one of my college classes ( the Magnum is my parents), and damn these things feel like your putting along, until you look down and you're doing well over a 100 mph, at one point I felt like a was going a little too fast, and when I looked down I realized why, the beautiful speedometer said 140 mph, needless to say I slowed down so I didn't get my parents car impounded. But this is between you and me.

Nick who did you go with for the kit? If you could post some picks when you get it done. I'd love to see it. I'm thinking about buying 2 kits and do a combination of Burl wood and Aluminum. Think all that wood would be too much but have a few ideas with combining the 2 together.

You know what I did? I was ready to order the Sherwood package but then I shot over to http://www.nycdashes.ca/shop/customer/home.php and I couldn't help it I ordered the whole magilla wood dash kit. the price is right they got this sale on till late sunday at 30% off and you can still use an additional coupon for doing a survey for another $5 off..All said and done I got mine for $207 free shipping with chrome magnum insert for the above glove box panel. deal of the day for me. I'll try to post pics when I get the kit installed. bty I got the walnut burl to go with the IN RED MAGNUM it ought to look fine..

EIbachs are out and they on on my Magnum! I thought the Mag hanled good but now.....WOW! This thing sucks down to the road like a hog suckin' down slop!! The stance looks mean as hell from the front and the drop really made my 20's fill up the fender wells nicely. Check out the attached pics for example. Total cost installed $468.00
