Very Happy
The ride with the appearance group/sports suspension is so smooth and quiet. The engine seems well mated with the six speed auto and once again is very quiet. I also like the drivers seat. I have manual lumbar, power adjusting seat, tilt telescoping steering wheel. The adjustments are almost endless.
So far so good
It drives really well, even though we took it in because the transmission can't always make up its mind what gear to be in on a slight upgrade. So far major disappointment with the gas mileage,only getting about 25 MPG on the highway not the 35 MPG its supposed to get. We asked about it at the dealership and were told the vehicle isn't broken in until its got 15,000 kilometers, which seems like an awful long time to brake in an engine. We got the journey because of its (rated) good gas mileage, so we are keeping our fingers crossed hoping it will improve in the next few months. After reading some of the other reviews we consider ourselves lucky.

Bad fit/trim - Beware 19" tires
After having this vehicle for a few months, I really am not that excited over it anymore. Lots of interior fit/finish issues that lots of people having. The make-up mirrors on the visor, will be the first to break, very cheap. Watch out on your brakes, this vehicle will eat breaks in 10k, and warp the roters. I do work of a large rental car company, and they have major issues with this vehicle and its breaks. 19" Kumo tires, avoid the 19" option. The tires are cheap crap, went through 3, road hazards, thin sidewalls, soft tread, and you can't get the tires. Discount can get them, order only.
Journey review at 3800 miles
Was reluctant to buy Journey but was replacing a van and liked the style. So far is a great car. Avg mpg has been 24.5 with a low of 21.3 and high of 26.1. Ride is comfortable, quiet and steady. Just finished 1500 mile trip and loved driving the car. So far everything works including tire monitor which came on when I picked up a nail
Disappointed
Was very excited about buying this car but now have been let down have had the brakes done 3 times at 48,000 and they tell me its the way I drive. Both visor mirror covers broke off. Passenger window needed to be fixed 3 times. Diver door needed paint because the tape was peeling off. Had to have it brought in because the car would start but no lights, radio, or signals would work. And never mind bringing it in for the recalls. Will never buy Dodge again
