Dodge Magnum SRT Review
Today, i have for you car lovers all over, a review on the renowed Dodge Magnum SRT, a car that i don’t really regard to much. After a really bad point in Chrysler motor history, something clearly had to be doned to make profit. That something was the new and exciting automobile called Magnum SRT. This move was very bold, as this car isn’t a really conventional one, with a really aggressive looking automobile but which has been getting awards from all and sundry. Why is it not for me? Maybe it’s becouse of it’s???? 6.1 liter hemi engine, wich i found no troubles, in terms of controling it, but the power did come in rather suddenly and it did call for a great deal of concentration.
I see this as a great car for young Texans blasting to a rodeo but genteel Marin County is not like that. Percentage wise there are more Priuses here than anywhere else in the country and that probably says it all. Don????????t get me wrong-the Dodge is amazing value at around 40 thousand dollars. It is a bit of an International cocktail-the engine is made in Mexico, the transmission in Germany and final assembly is in Ontario, Canada.
Still, what matters is that the Dodge is very well screwed together. The instrumentation is excellent as are the seats. What I missed was the brilliant TV monitor - aiding reversing- from the infinity. The Magnum is a long car and the TV would be a God-send.
The Dodge has all the standard equipment one could reasonably expect from a 60 thousand dollar automobile and as I????????ve said huge fun and huge value for the right person. Having said that I am not that person. I am delighted they are doing well but as we all know the other half of the company is Mercedes Benz. For me an E series 320 with 4matic is the answer to my prayers. Until and if the new S class had a 4matic option as well.
For the record the Magnum does 14 to a gallon in town and 20 on the highway, although the chances are that the sort of speeds this Dodge is capable of will tempt people to put pedal to the metal and really go for it.
This is a rough car, not one for those who don’t like to “play it hard”, mostly for those of us who enjoy getting a speedying ticket.
