I love this vehicle. I took it on a weekend trip last weekend and it performed flawless. I was a little worried about the 4 cyl. but it had all the power I needed. The seating was very comfortable. The radio was the best I ever had. The milage was a little disapointing ( 21 mpg ). But I was climbing some steep hills.

Nice car, but the brakes are terrible

My wife and I really like this car for all of the extra features and the nice ride. We've had some problems though. The first issue was a clunking sound when the car made a sharp turn. Turns out the engine mount wasn't secured at the factory. Also, we had to replace the brakes at 12000 miles and Dodge wouldn't cover it. Set back over $160 for a repair that shouldn't be made for another 40,000 miles. Very upset about that, but the other features are great.

Great Value

Having put in over 8k miles in 3 months, I've come to intimately know my car (yeah 60 mile commutes to internship). It is overall a really great vehicle. Yes there are downsides, the third row is cramped, but to get a crossover with out that, Highlander, Flex, costs around 5 grand extra. For the money that the Journey costs, you get a lot of things no one else offers in the price range. The biggest downside I've found is fuel economy, but I chose to sacrifice it for the other features. Hybrid Highlander, near 40k, awesome, yes, worth 12k extra, no. I will say, cruise control is friend, it changes economy by 1.8 mpg on my experience (120miles/day), and instead of going 75, go 65,

48 hour ownership

We had our RT for 48 hours! Woman on a cell ran a stop sign in a rural area and we drilled her! The air bags performed perfectly.... I had a small contusion on my left knee and my wife has lingering aches in her chest from the shoulder harness. That's all. The car was declared a total loss and the crumple zones worked as they were engineeered to. We replaced it with an identical vehicle and hope to hell this one lasts a bit longer. We are both 70 years young!
