Questions for all

I am rearching new vehicles and want to know everyone's opinions on their Magnums, especially those with AWD which is what i would be getting. I have a 12 month old and need this car to be my daily driver thru all sorts of weather conditions, especially winter weather in the NJ/NY area, heavy snow, light snow, ice, etc.
Those with kids, how much does this car hold? Can i get away with the stroller, groceries, shopping bags etc?
I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 now, but its too big and bulky and i rarely use the bed anymore. Thanks for your opinions.

Perfect for the kids and everything else.The rear holds a lot more than you think.Besides lots of room and you will be driving around with a grin from ear to ear. I am in NC and rarely see snow so someone else will have to chim in for that.

The name says it all....MAGNUM....it'll hold it all, carry it all, and arrive in stlye. Can't think of a car I'd rather have in the yard. 18 months and 34K.

For me a great family car. After having driven many alternatives - full size sedan, mini van, and SUV I have found them to be way too underpowered. Mag RT AWD assures safety with excellent traction and the ability to drive with confidence - merging, passing, and driving control. Altogether the best car that I have ever driven.

Negatives come through fairly heavy fuel requirements and some minor quality glitches, but totally offset by the benefits in my opinion.

I have a AWD RT Magnum. Last year I went through 8" of snow like it wasn't there. More then enough room for anything you want to haul, I've had 10' section of drainage pipe in mine. the car is the best one I've ever owened

Best car I've ever owned...hopefully the last one I'll ever buy...no kids but needed something to haul stuff

JUST DO IT!!! you won't regret it...plus your kid will have the coolest car at daycare!!!

After owning 3 Intrepid R/T's, the Magnum is SOOO much more!!
Very comfortable, looks great, decent gas mileage, really hauls ass, can haul my family and a very BIG dog at the same time.
I cannot think of any car I would want more, they are just not out there!!

If you've got a double stroller you'll be in for a bit of a crunch, but with just a single stroller there will be plenty of room for it and groceries. At least there is for my family of 5. There is plenty of storage capacity for road trips too. Our Town and Country has close to the same amount of space, but it's shaped differently. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes not.

Enough room for anything you need. Also the five star crash rating makes me feel real good about my wife and daughter traveling around in it. You will not be sorry regardless of the trim level you get.

I can vouch for the rear wheel drive only, but with good snow tires, its outstanding. Came up from Boston in a sleet storm last night, Magnum RT is incredible. Saw many 4x4's in the ditch.

Rwd RT. 15 months old 50,000 miles. I live in the high part of the Berkshires and have had absolutly no trouble moving through any of the snow we get. I can push the bumper through and it will continue to go. I have had 24 8 foot 4x4s in the back (cut into two foot chuncks). I have the trailer tow prep, even if you do NO towing, get it for the load leveling ability. I am NEVER going back to front drive. Good shopping.

I wish I could tell you how great this car is in the snow,but I don't drive it in the winter.I can tell you that for the other three seasons this car is the most fun ride I have ever owned,and I have owned plenty.
