Forget the big rating commentators
I would have never bought the Journey if I went by the big "consumer rating" blogs out there. My experience has been just the opposite than most of them. Good ride, comfortable roomy interior, decent fuel mileage for a 7 passenger SUV (V6 engine) reliable, easy to service. I've had 1 repair, the check engine light came on and it turned out the oil pressure sending unit was bad, reading 40psi all the time. On a recent extended trip through Oregon (about 2500 miles) I averaged 27mpg. Using synthetic oil seems to improve the fuel mileage.

Awesome SUV for the money!
I have the Crossroad model and love it. Fun to drive and plenty of room. Seats fold down and I have plenty of room for my hunting gear. The storage compartments in the floor and under the front passenger seat are an awesome idea. Had a factory recall for a minor issue, but other than that it's been great. Get over 30mpg on the highway. Third row seating is great if you have kids.

Hands down GREAT vehicle
This Journey has so many features we still have not figured them all out. Never thought we needed a vehicle that is this loaded but may never buy another vehicle besides the Dodge Journey. Handles great in the snow, very reliable and there is something in it for all 4 of our kids aged 3-18. AMAZING vehicle

Critics most hated SUV
This is a great vehicle for the price. It rides and handles just fine. It comes with many standard features that would cost extra with other SUV’s. You can buy a loaded Journey for around $29,000. You would have to spend thousands more to get a fully loaded SUV from any other manufacturer. So what if it is an old design. ( The VW Beetle was around for 30 plus years and sold like hot cakes.) It looks like an SUV should and is super smooth on the rough roads of California. The automotive critics hate this SUV for reasons I can’t figure out. Read the critics reviews and then drive one. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this SUV. If you buy a Journey and are worried about reliability, purchase an extended warranty. You probably won’t need to use it though. If you are in need of a new or used SUV and don’t want to spend tons of money, then the Journey is a great choice for an SUV.

Great car. Lots more power than expected.
Bought this car to replace our van. Fit our faul family of six due to three third row seating. Was very surprised by the power. The V6 is quite responsive and geared like a rocket. Seats were comfy for us all and the sound system was great. Overall very pleased with the value and performance.

What an amazing SUV
This Journey is amazing! It has so much room and storage options. I can take my daughter and all of her friends and even her grate dane in the back. The options to lay all four back seats down allows so much cargo space. The car drive so smooth and handles way better than I expected. Since this is not the top model, it does not have the high end radio etc, but it still has some power to it. I love this car! My mom borrowed it to go out of town and she has called multiple times to let me know she is enjoying driving it. Great value for the money to!
