Just picked up my new Magnum today. (RT AWD FULLY LOADED total: $39000 discount $34000.) Last fully loaded Mag with AWD and everything on it in Michigan. Some people like to have the first but I got the last   . Is there any Mag owners on this site that live In Michigan? sometimes I see a black one and a white driving around. I live in Farmington MI on the border of Livonia. OH..... I was out late last night and there was a Mazada 6 (manual) at the light in the right lane so I say W.T.F it will be my fist kill and I get in the left lane next to him. I dont have to do a thing and all of a sudden he starts revving the hell out of his mazda. so I put her in park revved it and put it back in drive sift down to first light turns green and I think you know what happens from there  . Oh and I was wondering is there any good way to make my mag faster with a good mod? I did a run to 60 in 6.4 sec and want it to be a least 5.8 is there any way to do that? P.S. If any one on the forum wants to have a meet/get together let me know. |

I've had my '05 RT for 5 mo now/8300 km. I LOVE IT ! ! I look forward to getting in and driving anywhere, anytime. No warranty issues, no repairs, just fun, solid driving. I can't say enough good things about it. I guess the only possible negative thing will be the tread wear issue. With only 8300 km, its not an issue yet but I'm watching. And that's not the car, it's the tire mfg. THANKS DM. Got a winner here.

Hey Mitch Got my 2006 SXT AWD 4 weeks ago, had test driven a lot of cars before, the last was a Dodge Caliber R/T, but car is too small for me. Like you, I felled in love with the Magnum. I don’t know if really need AWD (I live in Quebec, so it’s better to own an AWD), but pay attention to the fuel consummation. I have only driven 2000 miles with the car (50% city and 50% highway at 70 mph) and got an average of 18mpg (city 15mpg, highway 22 mpg), hope it will be better after the first oil change. Unfortunately most in this board is about Magnum R/T, so it is difficult to get an opinion on SE or SXT. I don’t have self-sealing tires or load leveling and height control, so I can’t tell you about, but I don’t think you need power adjustable pedals, unless you are less then 5’-0.  Anyway the SXT AWD is a great car

Well it finally happens next week. I take possession of a Blue 2006 RT AWD, (a used 10K mileage), DCX Program car. It has every option except the roof rack, listed for $40,110, and I am paying $30K and will become the first titled owner with 26 months left on the warranty. I think/hope this is a decent deal. I have been reading this forum for about six months and am quite excited to join the "family". I live in Madison, WI. home to Subarus, Audis & Volvos; haven't seen more than 3 Magnums driving around here.

Replying to: lennysky (May 11, 2006 5:07 pm) It replaced a 95 Mark VIII Lincoln that was an incredible car in my opinion. The RT is quiet, powerful, plenty of leg room front and back. I find the seat to be a little hard, but with the adjustable pedals, telescoping/tilt steering wheel and the 8 way power seat, I was able to be quite comfortable. I drove it 565 miles each way from AL to NC and back. My Mark (280hp) usually got 28mpg going and 26 coming back(premium). I checked one tank going and it averaged 22.4mpg. The tires were at 32psig. I pumped up those contiseals to 45psig coming back and it averaged 22.8mpg for the whole trip back. Most of the trip is interstate 20 with a 70mph speed limt. I set the cruise on 80 everywhere possible. I did NOT experience the pull to the right that many drivers speak of. The check engine light came on at one point. I think it did that so I wouldn't miss my Mark so much. I may not have tightened the gas cap enough. It went away and has not reappeared. It appears to use a little oil. It was 1/3 qt. low when I bought it and after driving it 700 or so miles including the interstate trip to NC, it was 1/2 qt low. My Mark did not use any oil even with 113k miles on it. Overall, I think it is a worthy replacement for my Mark that I owned for 9 years. I am very happy so far. |
