Likely Jumping Ship...

Might want to let the missus sit in the Magnum before you go out and buy one. A common complaint with women i hear in the magnum is the high sill height and poor visibility.

There's a reason the magnum is being discontinued, and it's because it's a car I only see men driving because women really don't feel comfortable driving them.

The drive itself isn't too bad -- having taken my buddy's R/T to pick up my stang's tires from the dealership. It's got plenty of balls, but it turns like a battle ship. Compared to the stang, it feels like driving a mini van.. the steering wheel feels like it has a good 3-5 degree dead spot on center, and chrysler puts every function onto the left stalk, so hitting the signals will turn on your wipers, high beams, and set the cruis control, and open the sunroof. ok, it won't open the sunroof...

I just found it less intuitive to drive.

so the magnum has looks and it's got balls. Just be sure you can live with it day to day and that the missus can deal with it.
