Used 2009 Dodge Journey Consumer Reviews
Should have asked a driver
This is a company vehicle, my last vehicle was a 2004 Dodge Caravan (which I loved). I've only had it 2 weeks and so far so good. I've just come back from a 1000Km trip and liked the feel and quietness of this vehicle on the highway. Handling is good, ride is a bit harsh, but I'm assuming that's because of the winter tires. My biggest complaint about this vehicle (to date) is the way it was designed to handle dirty road conditions in winter, ie. salt. First off the rear window wiper only wipes about a 135deg sweep. The wiper pivot is on the wrong side leaving a 45deg swath of dirty window right where you would normally be looking to find where a car should be when passing it.
Love my Journey
I love this vehicle. Smoothest ride I have ever had, it feels like I am gliding down the road. I have owned a Jeep liberty, rav4, Blazer, Camry. This is the best ride by far. Handles great!

Sweet
Overall very happy with our purchase of this vehicle. So many bells and whistles it's hard to keep my eyes on the road. Very comfortable, plenty of space, love the third row seating. Handles well, great on road trips. Gas mileage is very good, all in all a super family car that we are very happy about.
Loving It So Far.
I loved the look of the Journey when it came out. I leased mine in July when I turned in my much hated town & country. I don't have all the great available options in mine, but I have what I need. Love the 19" wheels, storage compartments, exterior styling, comfort seats, etc.
Amazing value with some uncertainties
Leap for the V6 and the AWD with performance suspension. You will not find a better value for towing, passenger capabilities and comfort with an AWD feature amongst any of its competitors. There is a glaring difference in the vehicle performance with either the 4-cyl or just the standard FWD/suspension unit. All around solid and have not had any significant quality or performance issues the first 3000 miles. V6 with AWD will now only be available on the 2010 R/T's. Model will be cannibalized by upcoming Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee as they are heading into the CUV platform. As Iacocca used to say, "If you can find a better car, buy it".
