Low Mileage Used Bargain!

Our family drives them until they die so we looked hard and ever vehicle before we bought. We bought a used 2017 GT AWD with very low mileage on it. BARGAIN! 12K under new cost! We added the extended Warranty for $1,500 (7 years 100k miles bumper to bumper) for sanity sake. Be aware that on ANY new vehicle if any part of the electronics goes out....A 3K bill will be waiting for you!!! So far we have had zero issues. Vehicle is tight, no rattles, clangs, or bangs. We paid close attention to the Carfax and where the vehicle came from so we knew what we were getting. For the price you can't touch the features this comes with. It's loaded!! Nothing comes close. We looked and looked an compared and compared and again nothing came close. My wife loved that it doesn't look like every other SUV as well. It does ride a bit stiffer than other SUV's, but not an issue for us. The infotainment system is by far the most user friendly to use compared to others out there. It all makes sense. As an FYI, this vehicle is the same platform as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Mercedes GLK. We spent a lot of time getting in and out of many 3rd rows. This could seat adults fairly comfortably (Equal to a Ford Explorer). The second row heated seats are such a bonus too. I wouldn't pay the price for new one(let someone else take the hit!), but as a low mileage used SUV it's a standout for Price/Features. If you add a trailer hitch can take it to the dealer and have them add the towing feature to the computer.

First American Vehicle ever bought

Yup, I've had Volvos, BMWs, Lexus, Nissan, Toyota and Mazda in all the years I've been buying cars and this is the 1st American car I've ever owned and so far, so good. I love the vehicle and the entertainment system is very good. The one thing I'm wondering about is the feature for shutting the engine off automatically when the car is stopped. It's an auto stop feature for the engine and I'm wondering if this will cost the engine premature wear and tear. Yes, it can be shut off but I like knowing it helps to preserve gas and can bump up your MPG by 1.

2017 Dodge Durango Citadel 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful
The only con I’ve found so far is that it’s taller than our Trailblazer was, so it’s harder to get in the front seat. It has lots of pros so far. The ride is quiet and comfortable. It gets great gas mileage, 24-27 mpg. The gps is easy to program and easy to use. After owning this Durango for over a year, I think auto reviews under rate this suv. With great gas mileage, comfort and space, it has everything the owner could want. Extremely well equipped and we get compliments on it frequently.

This is the 3rd Durango for us. I mainly drive my Ram 1500 sport and my lovely wife drive this new Durango. We opted for the 3.6, the Ram does the heavy towing, because the family is pretty spread out. We wanted comfort, good looks and descent gas mileage. Having the Hemi in the Ram, I thought I might be disappointed in the performance... Nope, the 3.6 is plenty stout, reaching 60MPH in 7 seconds. The AWD is outstanding, push the sport mode button and back roads are a blast. Oh, did I mention that the styling doesn't look like pieces of the body are glued on. Most other SUV's, to me, look godey... I'll take good old American "Brownie", unibody, tough rugged stance any day.

Citadel V8 after 3 years

We’ve owned a loaded Citadel with the Hemi V8 for three years. It has all the options except for the appearance ones. Overall we still like it. It’s roomy with a truly usable third row, combined with adaptive cruise control and a rear Blu-ray system, making it a great family road trip vehicle. It’s fairly smooth and stable on the highway, but not luxury car quiet. The suspension is on the firm side, so the ride can feel busy on rough pavements around town. It is fairly tall and long for a crossover, so it’s not very nimble around corners. But its reasonable width makes it fairly easy to park. Running boards help ease entry to the high step-in. Given the vehicle’s weight, the V8 is almost a necessity. The Hemi is strong in the mid-range with a nice growl. But it drones a bit in mundane local driving. The transmission up shifts smoothly but has occasional rough downshifts when slowing down. Handling is decent considering the weight and height. The AC, heated seats/steering wheel, and cooled seats have all worked well. Rain sensing wipers do not go to the highest speed automatically. The rear Blu-ray system works well, but the Beats sound system sounds muddy. Third row is roomy and has good visibility and is easy to access with second row captain chairs. Interior is logically laid out, but the materials are poor. It’s showing a lot of wear after 3 years of gentle use. Our 5 year old Lexus looks almost new in comparison. There aren't many storage bins. When the third row is up, there's not much cargo room behind it. The rotary shifter design is just stupid and can be confused with the AWD dial. Reliability wise, the original water pump failed and was replaced under warranty. Also had a couple of recalls performed for free. I had a hard time getting the OEM Bridgestone tires balanced. Gas mileage isn't great, unsurprisingly. 13-14mpg in local driving. 20mpg on long road trips. On the tech side, it has all the modern safety aids. The infotainment system is easy to navigate but the screen is low resolution. Ours doesn’t have Apple CarPlay but I think it comes standard in 2018 and later. I also wish it had front parking sensors. Overall, it's a well-designed family SUV that is the right size for us. The Hemi and RWD bias makes it fun to drive. It has a 4WD Low option, as well. But if you want a smooth and refined crossover that drives and sips gas like a sedan, this is not it.
