    We had one of the new chargers when we rented one in Houston last year. I'm used to driving a Peugeot 307 and this charger does seem BIG when you start driving. However, for performance with the name of all that the charger name should be, i was rather disappointed.

    Can't say, as i've never driven one, but i certainly wouldn't pay extra for a charger.

    Isn't the magnum an estate version of the charger?

    We currently have a Dodge Avenger, which looks like a family version of the charger, and it drives about the same as a charger.

    I've read that Chrysler 300 is nice [msncool]

    We had a charger last year in San Diego. I totally fell in love with it but I guess it depends on what you are looking for!! I drive a diesel Discovery so I didn't think it was big but I thought the performance was good. Can't comment on the Magnum.

    We have just had a Dodge Charger. I only drive a Focus or husband's Jag (when I am allowed!) but felt quite comfortable driving it. We only filled up once - near empty tank cost $60 to refill but still much cheaper than the UK.

    We turned down a Magnum, as being a hatch back there was a only a tannoy cover. If you are touring around a Charger with a proper boot may be safer.

    We recently had a Dodge Charger for a couple of weeks, all noise and no go. Looked good though.
    Regards, Mark
