Very comfortable and plenty of room

This suv is everything I was looking for. Met all my needs at my budget. Very comfortable and a smooth ride . Plenty of room and still looks sporty.

Worst car I've had

I have had my 2013 dodge journey for almost three years. I bought it used from a dealer in 2015. It was an impulse buy and I have definitely learned my lesson. Either my dad or I do the maintenance and labor, occasionally my grandpa who has been a mechanic for a few decades. So my review is focused on fixing this vehicle yourself. It has been more of a hassle trying to replace parts on this car than it should be. The fender is too low to jack up the front of the car. The jack needs to be carefully maneuvered behind the tire and little room to start pumping the jack at first. Changing break pads wasn't too bad but getting the lugs off was a nightmare. After using two different air compressors we found an impact that plugs into the lighter port that took them off. I highly recommend those, especially if their were an emergency. I haven't had issues with the battery, crossing my fingers, but getting to that is a big inconvenience. You have to remove the front left tire, remove the plastic underneath to get to the battery which is behind the fender. Most newer cars cheaply made and are a challenge to fix. Currently I am trying to find out how to find a vacuum leak to fix that and have to replace either the ball joints or wheel bearings and break pads. My job requires me to use me vehicle and I have had things broken inside the car because most of it is cheap plastic. The arm rest in the front seat opens upward or slides back. I'm worried about that breaking as well. 75% of my driving is for work. Overall, it drives. I hate the 4 cylinder so much. cheaply made and is a pain to fix. Not worth what I am paying for it.

Most affordable crossover suv ever

This journey is very valuable and affordable. That?d perfect for small family or friends. Its excellent towing capacity. It?s slightly small than Durango. There is no V8. Fuel economy is average but still good. I?d recommend this car! I give it five stars! ??????????

reliable, good gas mielage, best price

Best deal you can find with gas saving and people hauling . Only down side was that it didn't have a whole lot of power.

Great value for the price!

This vehicle exceeded my expectations and is priced well under similar style vehicles. Best part is it seats 7 but doesn?t look enormous! Has all the bells & whistles and gets great gas mileage.

Just what I wanted

This car met all my needs and is very roomy. Loving the leather seats and the heated steering wheel is fantastic.
