Hi

We are just back last week and we had a 2 month old Silver Magnum with 1900 miles on it when we picked it up.

It is a really decent sized car. At home we have a Mazda6 estate and this magnum was definitely bigger. I would say as big as an Audi A6 estate. The front seats seem really far apart. We had 1 large, 2 medium and 1 carry on case. We couldn't have got all our suitcases into anything smaller, and that includes the Dodge Charger which is the non-estate version of the Magnum.

The car seems very slow to accelerate. Big car, not big enough engine!

Here's a photo...

A couple of niggles were...
1) The drivers seat was not height adjustable. Mrs Freaks had problems seeing over the steering wheel! She had to take a cushion from the villa sofa.

2) We never seemed to be able to get the temperature right in the car. The air conditioning was manual. Maybe we are spoilt at home with our climate control but it was just one of those things.

All in all we were reasonably happy with it.
 
I cant comment on the Dodge Magnum but we went for the Dollar full-size car which we expected to be a Dodge Magnum and ended up with a Dodge Charger as all the Magnums were gone.

Not only is it the ugliest car around and the worst for visibility it broke down within a couple of days and we ended having to go back to MCO to exchange it.

DH did manage to get us a free tank of petrol and an upgrade to a Chrysler Pacifica :)

Next year we're going with the Luxury car and hoping to get the Pacifica again - I would certainly want to avoid the Charger.
