Great handling, good looks, lots of storage, has many of the same features our Chev. Impala had. Gas mileage is around 22 MPG IN THE CITY. WE HAVE TWO PROBLEMS: the air conditioner is making a whistling noise when it reaches 55 mph. Just started making a noise when turning left. so far the dealership has been great to work with.

I went from a Mustang GT to a SUV due to my daughters booster seat. I am impressed with the comfort and safety. The 3.5 liter provides wonderful power. 1300 miles no major problems yet, other than the panic alarm randomly going off (had to start the car to shut it off), a small clunk in the trans when shifting (only on inclines, think it has to do with the stress the drivetrain is on at an angle), and a very low drone on some left turns, which goes away after a few seconds. I will follow up with my local dealer if any become real problems. Gas mileage has been a pleasant surprise to my Mustang's 16.5 average. I am averaging 21mpg on mixed freeway roads, and 25-27 on nothing but freeway.

I have been a dodge fan for over 10 years. This car has been great on the since that it has more room, and I can deal with the gas mileage. I had a noise every time I turned left, they fixed it, and I had vibrating in the dash, they fixed that the second time. But now my brakes are completely gone on the driver side. There is no way that should happen at this many miles. Chrysler said they would pay for the labor, well I guess that is something. If I have to go back in another year or after 26000 more miles because the brakes are gone, we are going to have major problems.

I have a had my Journey for a year now and so far, no problems at all. It is a comfortable ride, reliable, reasonable gas mileage for its size, lots of storage and plenty of leg room for back seat passengers. Quiet, and has good visibility when changing lanes.

We are very happy with our Journey. We bought it out of town and on the trip home it got over 25mpg by the built in computer. Loaded with items that are options on other cars and at a very good price. Ride is great and people can talk without shouting over road noise. 6 disk CD player and 6 speakers are standard, rear air and heat an option that is not over priced. Great vehicle!
