2008 Dodge Magnum Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Passat wagon 35.8 73.8 Volvo V70 37.4 71.4 All data for 2007 models *With second row folded **With third row folded Drivers of any size should fit well in the Magnum, as a tilt/telescoping steering wheel is standard, and many trim levels have power-adjustable seats and pedals. I found plenty of range in the steering wheel and driver's seat, with abundant headroom and legroom to spare. There's equally abundant room in back, with good thigh support from the cushions.

2008 Dodge Magnum Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Driving Impressions Performance and handling in the Hemi-powered R/T are essentially the same as in the related Chrysler 300C. The suspension feels tauter, but not by much. Both cars ride comfortably on smooth surfaces. Each has a solid feel and confident handling.

Why should I also consider these?
If you're considering a 2008 Dodge Magnum, there are a couple of other near-wagon alternatives worth looking at.
The Ford Taurus X is a crossover (really a tall-roof wagon) built on the same platform as the previous-generation Volvo XC90.
The Taurus X is bigger than the Magnum, but offers none of the Dodge's handling or V-8 performance potential.
