Anyone drive the 3.5liter Magnum
Just wondering if the Hemi is a must. The 3.5 has 250hp which sounds pretty strong.
Here's a review, enjoy.. http://www.automedia.com/autoReviews...1dm.asp?affid= |

My parents just ordered a 3.5 AWD Magnum, we test drove one at the dealership and it was all right. I still wanted the Hemi though but my mom didn't think she needed it to get to work haha..the 3.5 is not as fast as my car...but then again, niether is the hemi haha.

I know some that has one with the 3.5 and he probally likes it so far.His does not have AWD.Stay away from one with a 2.7.I cannot believe Daimler Chrysler put a 2.7lL engine in the magnum.The 2.7L engine is a pile of Junk and has no power at all

I have to disagree.
The 2.7 is just right for the daily driver. My Magnum, with the 2.7, seems to be status quo in the power and performance department versus any other comparable family sedan. You must remember, this car is focused for three types of people, comuters, comuters for performance, and muscle car buffs. The range of engines fits the car into all of these. |

The magnum with the 2.7 is going to do the same thing in the intrepids and concordes,The motor is going to blow up.That person that is a friend of my dads has one with a 3.5, does go and it is powerfull.

Re: Anyone drive the 3.5liter Magnum
no it won't, I work at a Chrysler dealer and the only magnum that has come in was an SXT b/c the intake gasket had slipped on it, common problem on the 3.5 V6. The 2.7 has had some issues, which I have yet to see in FL, it's a great starter off engine, get's great economy and has the oomph to go when it needs to go.

Re: Anyone drive the 3.5liter Magnum
So what's all the hype you hear about the 2.7 having problems? I've heard bad things, but you seem to be working on them....

Re: Anyone drive the 3.5liter Magnum
I beat a chick in a supra today in my awd
a point to consider, the rwd has only 4 gears while the awd has 5, the awd also handles better, has a tighter turning radius and the 18" wheels look a lot better |

I own an SXT w/3.5, I believe the car has plenty of power, I also didnt want to pay the extra 6k for the RT package. I also got the upgraded 18" wheels without buying the AWD, I have some pics of the car and my truck at:http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2102381
check it out and let me know what you think.

Re: Anyone drive the 3.5liter Magnum
2.7l is a great engine if you keep up the maintenance on it. i work at a dodge dealership in stlouis and the only thing that i really see that the 2.7 has a problem with is sludging up because people change the oil every 5-6k. the 3.5 is a great engine. my parents have a 3.5 magnum and the thing does really well for what it is.

Re: Anyone drive the 3.5liter Magnum
The 3.5 has been around for a long time and it kicks but for a 6. It runs real strong. Ive had several and always got upwards of 30+mpg hwy. But to compare it to the hemi is like oranges to apples. You wouldn't be dissapointed in the 3.5, but you would be very pleased with the hemi, depending on what you find more important in your car.

Re: Anyone drive the 3.5liter Magnum
I have an 05 3.5 and love it. Plenty of power. Have had some issues with engine light but nothing major. I bought it with 1500 miles now has 70000. Good luck.
