The vehicle looks awesome on the road and has a smooth ride. The interior makes the ride a lot nicer.

Not impressed

I have had to replace the engine and now have to replace a second wheelbearing. There are just 56,000 miles on it. We bought this car because we wanted something with a third row that wasn't a minivan. I will go back to a minivan in a heartbeat.

Love it

This car is perfect for us with the size not so big to be bulky but enough room for our big family with room for storage to boot.

Not made for big guys W/ big Family

We bought this car brand new in 2012. Only issue where we had to replace the brakes a rotors after 50,000 miles. The factory tires, brakes, and rotors are garbage. It is a well built car mechanically. There are some issues with the wireless connect and blue tooth that I can't figure out. I am a bigger guy(6'1") and with a car seat behind me it is not enough room. It is not horrible with a front facing car seat but no way could i fit with a rear facing one.

Very Raliable

My Journey was a 2012 SXT AWD, it really was a Nice car, never sad an issue with it, it was great driving in snow, and always felt safe. It was good balance between Engine power and fuel consumption.

Greatest vehicle I have owned!

I absolutely love my Journey! It has plenty of "mini van mom" room with out being a mini van! It runs amazing and isn't too bad on gas for highways. I love all of the special features that are on mine. This vehicle will definitely last me forever!

Never had an issue with it

I think was a very nice car, I really never have an issue with it, drove me safely for almost 6 years, has good cargo space, it was a very nice and smooth drive, the engine really got power when needed but at the same time was a good value for gas mileage. Overall I was very happy with this car.

Best car in the world!

Got all my needs met with this car! The push to start is the best! Even though it is a 2012, it still feels like a 2017.

Best decision made in a long time

This is the best vehicle I have purchased in the last 15yrs. I love the look, stance, and feel of this car. It has all the options including a sunroof. The car is smooth riding and comfortable. The steering is very responsive and brakes are great. I would recommend the journey to anyone looking for a reasonably priced car that is very comparable to more expensive ones. The journey has plenty of power and will take you and up to 6 others anywhere you want to go.
