- Earlier I drove a Dodge Charger RT. It was pretty crap. Can this Magnum, a very close relation, be any better?

As an Englishman in the UK... I'd love to own a Mag RT!
The magnum has always been my favorite Chrysler product.
What about the 300 estate/wagon?
I cannot wait till you drive a Charger hellcat....MURICA!
Probably the best review of this car ever. I own the exactly same model, black also. Drove an Magnum R/T before that for 12 years.
It's a super-charged, Mob-Boss, hit-wagon. And hearse! Well, you need that kinda car, if you're "takin' someone for a ride", to Lorne Guyland.
My friend has a magnum rt and I’ve been In love with v8 wagons every since I first rode in it
GM platform sharing: “na, don’t change anything, just swap the badges”
It's not a GM product though
@@louisperron4918 True, but the point is still valid. How about "American platform sharing, so who cares samey that it might as well all be GM." ?
Thats what they did on 3rd Gen Camaro's and Firebirds. Hey change the taillights and headlights. Bamn its a different model !.
Only people who've never owned a camaro or firebird would think that they are that similar.
@@kenshu6813 Ive had two IROC-Z's, and they are similar. Just a nosecone, taillights, and small interior changes.
I just bought a 2005 magnum rt hemi...beautiful condition for 14 years old...runs super strong and is a blast to drive!! I only paid 3,200.00 for it and am extremely happy. Wanted one since the first ones came out...took me 14 years to get one but it was worth the wait! This car was maintained and kept in awrsome condition. Thank god it wasnt a bad year for clear coat lol...as mine still shines like a showroom car...no fading!!
@Ehianeta Obinyan Good job on getting a magnum...car is a blast to drive isn't it?? I still have mine and am still in love with my burgundy/brick red beast lol. There are a few in my city but most are torn up and not taken care of, and run horrible. Enjoy your ride...i do everyday😁. Magnum Strong!!
I paid 6k for my 5.7hemi AWD magnum rt. I picked it up with body damage and only 115k on the clock. Its pretty fun
Im getting one tomorrow morning for 4.4k
Very Rare Car . Keep it for a long time
Dodge magnum. That has got to be one of the coolest names for a car. Would you rather say you drive a 530d or a magnum..... Hard choice.
@ obviously but an m5 is probably 2-3x the price.... The same price BMW would be a 530d.
i wouldn't say that on a first date or i might get slapped! XD
Hopefully I'm buying this car tomorrow.
Glad you enjoyed our American Magnum just as we enjoy so many of the European cars! An upate on The Magnum. The Magnums hold their value quite well! The rarest of all Magnums is the 2008 SRT8...prices range from $20,000 to 40,000 low miles, untampered and condition of these hotrods is the factor.
I love Magnums as you can tell. Not only owning one but I own a Mopar Muscle car restoration shop, working on from late 1960s to 1974 Mopars from the American Muscle Car erea ( the ones that started it all ) Chargers, Challengers, Cudas, Road Runners, Demons, Dusters...you get the jest!
When drag racing was at its peak in America.
All cars, speed can be relative but, as you say in America we like the big Cubic displacement! The feeling of 'torque' off the line, always puts a smile on your face.
I also love the E-Type Jaguar ! So appreciate a variety of different kinds of muscle!
My Dad owning several 1950s Jags such as the XK 120, 150 etc and brothers with many American muscle...car crazy is definitely in my blood!
So the Magnum fits in there quite nicely! The Magnum is really what started all the newest Performance Mopars today..such as the HellCat Widebody ( does not disappoint ) as well as the insane Track Hawk @ 707hp!
These sound like great test cars for you!
Thanks for your great Video about the Magnum! 🖤
Where's your shop? I will have to pay it a visit some time
@@JayEmmOnCars
We would love to have you! We are in Belle Plaine, Mn
About 45 min SW of Minneapolis. thertgarage,com ❤
Love this review! 👌
me too
Add a tuner to the magnum then you will see what it can actually do
a lot of Brits laugh at American cars. I can't think of a car you can get in the UK for the same price as this that has the same performance and practicality. Plus, you'll probably get a decade of trouble free motoring out of it !
I had a 2006 Dodge Magnum SXT. All the problems I had with it were with the German parts.Kept replacing Front suspension parts, transmission module went out. I was a Chrysler buyer and out of 6 Chryslers, this is the one I really had trouble with.
Great video! what a car!
Based on a 300C says it all.. Looks good, sounds good, reasonably quick in a straight line for something that weighs more than Haleys comet, bucket of shit on a real drivers road, build quality about the same as a plastic bottle with a cheap leather label.. Job done...
Best description of the LX platform.
Well, I have a Dodge Magnum SRT8 in Torred and a 2010 Vanilla 300Limited
Don't sell the magnum its going to increase in value
I only watch the VIDEO because of the Magnum you are years late on this car
Fun fact, these have doubled in value since this video was made
The scenery looks like the UK. The road looks a lot better!
I cringe every time I see someone driving nice cars on those little, cramped UK roads. Like 5 cm from left wing mirror are some trees when 5 cm from right side you got others cars. Not suprised Fiestas sell there that well.
@ I've never been to UK but I imagine the only wide roads there are highways.
And I'm not really American. By heart yes, but by passport no lol.
That drone is those flowmasters
SRT Magnums got brake upgrade suspension upgrade, the 6.1 liter hemi
I hate so much until I want one,just one of a kind modern muscle
i had this car v8 engine 2006 hemi 5.7 litre.madness with AwD.sunroof etc
Why on AWD SRT magnum?
A beauty
The 2.7 motor is so bad! I haven't ever seen one last over 100,000 miles without serious work.
Same story with the smaller Jeep engines they went to in 07 if I'm not mistaken.
I used to frequently see a 300c in the UK many years ago, it drove past my bus stop every day. I don't know what spec it was in though, just that it was silver :p
do you remember the 300 estate?
The 5.7 hemi on that era was very limited in power for cost reasons.
A CAM alone can crank it to the 6.1 engine power level.
Ported head and CAM you can get 500+ still atmospheric.
Absolute shame...
"If I'm lucky, this is still not the last Dodge of the trip" Hellcat or Viper bait? Maybe even a classic Charger/Challenger!
I LOVE my Magnum SRT8. The SXT I had before that was reliable but just OK. For what these cars cost, I think they have done very well. Is it going to keep up with an M3 or M5? Nope. But it also costs peanuts in comparison (to both purchase and/or maintain.). I got a hitch for my SRT8 and can even haul lumber if needed! I'm tempted to buy another and put it in a time capsule so I can drive these things for the rest of my life.
Jay than you haven’t drove the Daytona charger it has the 5.7 litter 475 hp Hemi V8 with the same muffler and has sport tuning and of course it’s not a sport car they are muscle cars
What are you talking about?! The 5.7 hemi isn't 475 HP. The 6.4 hemi is 475 to 485 HP.
Give wheels, paint and headlamps proper polish and the car will look brand new mint condition.
not even worth the effort of polishing the headlamps they can be had brand new including bulbs for $126 for the pair on Ebay! major cosmetic improvement..
Had a magnum with AWD. cheapest interior ever. loved the look of the car but it was too low for a snow belt province I livecd in. Chrysler could have done a lot more with this car but they gave up on this great style.
kind of reminds me of the Vauxhall Signum
I bought this car today.
Hell yea! That thing sounds sick! Definitely a bad ass ride! Well have to go riding around soon
Dodge Magnum a bit like the ice cream on a stick -- Hard & brittle on the outside soft and smooth on the inside! A proper car like a MK1 Lotus Cortina would beat it hands down in the UK on all but a motorway!
Nah
Love your channel James and I've been watching since the early days, I also sub to Lawries channel. I often watch with my 2 year old car fanatic son, however if the swear count continues it will only be me who continues to watch. Fair enough if you think I'm a prude but bear in mind it will also effect your YT revenue. I swear like mad during the day but never in front of my son. Please keep your channel family friendly even though your swearing is admittedly very tame but it is still swearing and no need for it as you seem intelligent enough to be above this.
Hi Paul, I understand your concern. I believe the channel is more family friendly than The Grand Tour, and my ad revenue is quite safe.
I will where possible, try and use other colourful metaphors but I can not promise this will ever be a U-rated channel.
As a point of interest, I have more over 65s watching than I do under 17s
Uhm. So as it was called a Magnum in the states, it sold in EU and Aus. as a 300. Just an FYI
Turn that into a hellcat. It'll look good.. a nice new body kit
So how does the acceleration compare to a stock M3 E92 ? I own a Challenger SRT8 but I'd like to get M3 E92 soon.
M3 should he a touch quicker as it is much lighter. I havent driven a stock one in a while
Probably pretty close, the dodge is epitome of a bargain bin car and the e92 is a better car overall.
Good god, much better than the last one. You need to drop the jeremy clarkson talk that you used in the Charger video, and see how you look more professional, even if you have negative things to say about a car.
I told you so ;)
The autobahn cops in Belarus use these.
All European cops should use these. Instead of crashing expensive BMWs, why not crash a cheap Dodge?
@@LiamS94 they aren't cheap unless you get the shitty 5.7 that is so heavy that you are better off taking the v6
One hell of a car......I could just never justify the running costs to myself here in the UK, maybe in the US I could.
I used to run American cars in the UK. Corvettes, Fieros, Camaro IROC-Z. Its fun, but the fuel bills were a world of pain. Americans are still shocked when you tell them its the equiv of $120 per tank to fill up a regular car in the UK.
@@dj_paultuk7052 I could stomach running a Pontiac Fiero here but anything with a V8 like the Camaro or Corvette would have to be a second car for the summer, the thought of fuel at 15mpg (UK gallon) makes me feel weak 😂
@@graemew7001 The Fiero GT was worse on fuel than the 5.0 IROC-Z. Fiero was old-school batch fire injection. Where as the IROC-Z's TPI was sequential. But the Fiero was huge fun, such great handling.
@@dj_paultuk7052 Oh dear, I took it that being 2.5 and 2.8 litre engines that they'd be slightly more fuel efficient than the 5.0 IROC-Z. Think I'll just be sticking with things like the Ford Focus then 😂
@@graemew7001 Nah, they are a very old design V6. 2.8i pushrod. 140bhp max. I guess similar power to the Capri 2.8 V6 of the same era.
А мне нравиться машина и внешне со всех сторон, салон и то что под 200 л бензин меньше будет есть. Я бы такую взял, если бабки будут.
I woodent say its not fast with the right money you can get a 1000 horsepower out of that 6.1L hemi
Have an 07 srt8 in inferno red, 1 in 666 made
Keep that car !! I expect them to increase in value in the next few years.
@@jakey20022 I highly doubt anyone will want this in the future due to its fit and finish.
@@michaelgrant5258 R/T and SRT versions. Haha 😂🤣 look at all the 60's and 70's cars and the Jeep Grand wagoneer
@@jakey20022 If you think a v6 dodge will be collectible, you need to get your head examined lmao The only cars worth money will be the hellcat, demon, and red eye package. This generation looked cheap.
Lol you can't say it's not fast because it's a 15 year old car, back then 425 hp was tons for a stock car. When this car was released it was a high competing car.
But back then 4000lbs was also a lot
What you had to all change o need answers
I hope you complete a triumvirate with the Viper!!
Did you get your passport back?
Wow, I can't believe that the higher spec SRT is better equipped than the cheapest version of the Charger.
Cheapest charger had 190 bhp.
Its the dogs bollocks...
its not a 300c touring. the 300c touring was based off the united states dodge magnum that came out in 2004. i hate when people do this shit. even with other cars.
Nice shirt .......
Why do you keep saying over here?
Because I dont live in the USA
Please stop referring the magnum to that German junk company
1st
Congratulations
@JayEmm. Bollocks, shit, axe murderer! Having apparently abandoned the loud shirt gimmick, are you attempting a Clarksonesque impression by way of a personality transplant? FFS.
"I'm trying to be as politically correct as possible."
Why, though?
I know where an 73 corvette is
I love a fast estate, but God damb that's ugly!
I feel this generation American muscle was hot garbage. Car looks like it was built by Fischer Price.
