Insurance totaled my daily driver

Insurance totaled our van...we were looking at Tahoes but our dealer found us this diamond! Better gas mileage and not as big and still have room for family!

Not my first, second, or even third pick

Let's start with the good things. There are little storage compartments all over. These are big enough for hand guns or small amps for a stereo system, but other than that I'm not sure what you'd use them for. Radio is great with a graphic interface that's easy to catch on. My model does not have Bluetooth and I thought that by now Bluetooth comes standard in every car, but you know Chrysler. Great steering feedback and a heavy gas pedal keeps you from floating your foot on long drives. Power is fine, but steering receives massive torque steer when shifting to second. Enough of a jolt to pull you onto the white line of the lane. No gas cap holder. Delay in the electronic gas pedal will give you unexpected acceleration. The ceiling is too low to open an ice chest that's in the trunk. Otherwise the keyless entry and locking is a good feature as it's becoming a standard today.

Best bang for your buck!

I enjoy having this vehicle as I have 3 kids and it's roomy for all of the kids and they don't feel cramped. The seat are comfortable and the ride is smooth! I love having it and for the price you can't go wrong! The extra storage spaces are always helpful especially with a toddler!

Awesome family car with plenty of room

We love this car, its ultimate family car when it comes to cargo room and head room all over, its full of various storage compartments goodies. Great standard accessories, we love the folding 3rd-row seat that allows driving easily kids friends around when necessary. The keyless entry is brilliant, you don't have to touch the key as long as its in your pocket you can pull the door and enter. The handsfree Bluetooth phone connectivity is great and has an awesome sound plus noise filtering. Never had any mechanical issues it feels safe and good solid road handling.

Journey Limited

I recently bought a 2014 Journey Limited. When I went into the dealership I was going in to look at a different SUV but this guy caught my eye. Interior is cut to the finest and the exterior is the same. The one minor issue I have is that it could use a little more on the front end acceleration. The one major issue I have is the gas mileage is nothing to write home about. It does have the option for the E85 but that gas is a joke. I can't speak to the reliability because I have only had it for 2 and a half months but overall I am extremely satisfied.

Not a mom car/mom car

With only two kids, we don't need a van. But we do need space for gear. Even with leather, the seat backs and sides are plastic. Easy to clean and easy to maneuver seats to clean. This is our second Journey. While I wish it got better gas mileage, it can reach the high 20s on a trip.

Most reliable car I've owned.

David M. Deza was very welcoming, helpful, and he will make sure you leave with the best car of your interest with his great customer service. This car has so many different features to it I just love the interior the heated seats and steering wheel, the Bluetooth radio there is too much to say about this car.

Not bad

Its been a good car mostly. Bad gas mileage though. Front end control arms were bad from day one. They were replaced but are starting to make noise again. It has really bad blind spots as well. Other than that its been ok. The battery died at one year old.

Love it

What a great experience I had at Honda cars of Bradenton Kaylin was the person to help me find a car to suit my families needs. I highly recommend going and seeing her and getting your next car. A ++++++

the biggest regret.

I bought this car with 200 miles on it in august of 2014. At 7000 miles the front end started popping. At 21000 miles I had to get the car realigned but the dealership still couldn't pinpoint where the noise was coming from. Now at 36000 miles I just got it out of the shop for the second time this month. On the first visit I had to put 4 new tires, another alignment, new front struts and strut mounts. This time they replaced the sway bar links and sway bar bushings and there is still a lot of noise coming from the front end. It sounds like im driving around a 10 yearold car. I will never buy another dodge!
