It will be interesting to see how long a 2.7L engine is holding up after 60K miles. The last Chrysler I drove was fine until it crossed the 35-40K threshold then it started to rattle like a tin can full of rocks and the V-8 began to tire. I cannot imagine that a 2.7L is going to hold up for a long life in police work, even a hemi. Would be a real wonder if it did. Don't use the AC, boys.

This makes for a nice K9 vehicle.

Faster than anything else out there, if equipped correctly. Needs better mileage so more agencies will consider it. Roomy and comfortable. As for Chrysler reliability...we'll see...

I HAVE ONE WITH HEMI FOR K9 WORKING CRIMINAL INTERDICTION NOTHING BETTER LOTS OF ROOM AND FAST

Can anyone tell me how these bad boys ride on ice, snowy roads.....Im researching them, but they seem to be pretty good

MY WIFE HAVE ONE WITH THE HEMI IN IT AND BOY IS IT FAST

looks cool!

narrow windows and very small trunk....no room for the monkey.

The Dodge came out with a nice package. As a driving instructor we tested ten models of the new Dodge Charger. We found several safety issues which include a delay when trying to go from drive to reverse, this raised some issues with me when an officer is on a traffic stop and needed to back away to get a reactionary gap, a second is to long. Also I found that only after s few hundred miles, the brakes needed to be replaced. This vehicle would be great for a highway interdiction team not for a patrol vehicle. There are defiantly to many blind spots, not enough room, but it is fun to drive fast.

it's the best.

We used these as patrol cars for a special unit in my old department, and the guys loved them.

The Dodge Charger looks alot better than the crown vics

I drive the 2005 Magnum. It has pros and cons. These are compared to the crown Vic.

Pros: More driver, passenger room. Very smooth driving and great handling. Faster pick-up and can beat v-8 fords ( I have the v-6). Better front seats with a high head rest.

Cons: Blind spots everywhere with a K-9 cage. Lower to the ground and cannot go up curbs very well without hitting the bottom. Trunk is spacious but hard to reach in the back without almost having to climb in. Center console on the 2005 makes it hard to grab the seatbelt with a gunbelt on. I have the shifter in the center console which gets in the way of my lights and siren controller.

One more thing which can be either a pro or con. I am the only one with the magnum in the city. Everyone stops and asks me about the car. People pull up to me at traffic lights, pull up when Im traffic stops. It really gets hard to smile and talk about the car for the 500th time. But then again I wanted to be a movie star before being a cop....

fast , great stability, fast pick up .

in my opion, wud make a great evidence tech/csi veh. the suv's are good too. but i wud prefer a car and this one wud be it. fast, sleek looking, trimmed. gotta love it!!!

Can see this as either a crime scene vehicle possibly K-9

Too big.

Heard that agencies that have them really like them. They have a lot of room inside and perform great

Damn sweet!

Plenty of room!

Looks like a good car.

Looks Great!

I hate the three second delay in shifting gears

Wisconsin State Police use the Magnum sweet car.

omg how ugly why dont they just put wood pannealing on the side and call it the road king family truckster. lol only a proud few will get that

OK - NOT MUCH HOSE POWER IN DODGES (THAT IS WHEN IT COMES TO PATROL CARES....ON THE TRACK IS SOMETHING ELSE)

Nice looking vehicle if the graffics are done correctly. We just got one on our department and well. It is roomy, starts like a nascar and feels like setting in a cockpit of a race car. Could use a bit more power, but they drive nice and well received in the village.

I own a 2007 V6 and it still has enough pep to do the job, tons of room, a great comfortable ride and not to mention it looks bad ass! I would love for Satellite Beach to add one of these. We currently have the HEMI in a Charger, from what I hear, we are possibly getting 2 more Chargers but these will have the V6. Gas friendly but still enough engine to get the job done. Only thing about the Charger is it's really small inside with all the radio equipment. The Magnum would be much better in my opinion.

Not a vehicle I would patrol in. It is too much like a family car.

I live in the Adirondack mountains of New York. We had two suvs but replaced one with a Charger.. I'm wondering if anyone has one in an area with snow. I know that the Charger did not impress me last year. I'll have my review on that one under the Charger. This appears to have the room of an SUV with the speed and agility of a car.

FAST. MOBILE AND VERSATILE

nice

We have one Magnum and the rest are Chargers. The Magnum actually handles better than the chargers when cornering, something to do with the weight distribution. I love it. I was recently in a pursuit with a Yamaha 600 "crotch rocket". He could not pull away from me. I topped out at 155 and it was as smooth as could be.

Its got my vote!

We just purchased 5 Magnum for the Traffic Unit with the hemi!!!! Next to the 95 Caprice, these vehicles are best and most practicle for our use.

We currently have Crown Vics in our department. We are looking to other vehicles for 2008, this vehicle is one of them. When I test drove this vehicle it was impressive. It is wicked fast and has decent room. I hope we purchase some this year!

the department just purchased several for the road.fast

I acutally drive a 2008 police pkg model, and I can agree with some of the comments about shifting from drive to reverse..there is a delay and is not practical when attempting to turn around after someone, it has some blind spots also but when you get used to them, u really dont have an issue. The brakes were changed for 08 and so far Ive put over 10k miles and havent had any problems with them. I can tell you that this vehicle will get up and go, and handles really nice, but you definately need to practice with it before going on patrol, definately not a crown vic!!...I really love it. and it gets alot of looks from the public...

I drove this car for five weeks during my vacation in FL. I think it is a good patrol car. The trunk is good to put all your stuff in and the acceleration was fine. I think that this car would be a good patrol car.The only PD I saw driving it down there was the Atlantis and Aventura PD. Also painted in black & white, they look good. Basicly it is a bit like a Charger, but as a station wagon.

because it the best car and a fast car i think it should be on the streets

this unit is awesome and great 4 K9

It is the all time muscle car made over with the new style and ITS A COP CAR. How awsome is that!!!

love the car and the yr! lol

This is a 5 star winner.This car is great for pursuits and does a mean ram.This vehicle is wonderful.

Wow, it looks amazing! Don't see that driving around Brooklyn everyday! Anyway I do think that for high speed chases it could probably use an 8 liter v8(correct me if I'm wrong).

This is an awesome patrol car. I prefer this patrol car over the crown vic, which I have personally own a police auction crown vic, police interceptor, and have test driven a similar Magnum Interceptor, and fell in love with it.

NICE CAR

this is a space friendly car great vehicle for a k-9 unit

After doing a few ride-alongs with my dad in his PD magnum, its just as awsome as the charger, with the extra space for more toys.

it's about time thay made something that will keep up with sport cars

My power....My Car...Just right for my foot and style of driving....But I also carry alot of gear....Or I use to carry alot of gear in 06

i love a dodge

Great for interstate pursuit.Does not have a questionable break wear problem like Chevy cruisers ,of the past.

Ok first off you can't jump a curb in it. So it's gonna be a bit rough trying to pursue down a messed up road. I'll stick with the ford it is proven to take what we dish out.

I want one for my partner and me...I better ask Santa because I don't think it's in the budget! LOL. I give it 5 stars for looks alone.

I love my magnum!

Awesome car.

Every police officer drives one of these.And they like the way it handles the road.
