Alot of space

I love this car. The newer verizon has more space. Love the 3rd row. The drive is smooth. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Great SUV for the money!

No wonder the Journey is the second-best seller for FCA. Great value when you look at other seven-passenger SUV?s. Purchased a 2017 GT AWD brand new in January. My wife absolutely loves this vehicle. She says she feels safe when driving it, and she loves the ride and handling. Plenty of room for her and the grandkids, and power to spare. Our GT does not have the nav system or backup camera, but it doesn?t matter to her. We also purchased the lifetime warranty for this vehicle, so my wife can drive the heck out of it and it will still be under warranty no matter the mileage or age. Rear heat/a-c works great and the leather seats are very comfortable for long drives. Sticker price was about $35K but we paid much less than that due to rebates. We got this vehicle for about the same $ as much smaller SUV?s from other manufacturers. Great value!

3rd row seating, comfortable and lots pep.

I love it. It drives great, peppy, comfortable and spacious. My favorite part is the extra storage in the floor and front seat. The crossroads edition is good looking.

No thanks

I hate it ! it?s to small for a family !multiple things wrong with it and it?s new wish I never purchased this vehicle no trunk space we have 3 kids and they hate it they cry when we have to go somewhere because of how crowded it is and the back seats if they sit in third row there no space for legs and their isn?t enough cushion for their head and somehow there is no recall on that it?s a main safety concern for my kids and they are 5,6 ,11 and heater and air conditioning don?t work in back they would can?t wait to rid of this vehicle

Don?t purchase !

I bought my 2017 Dodge Journey new. I only have 6k miles on it as of today and it?s smoking , my radio changes on me by opening car doors, it will slow down on its own and when driving up hills it smells hot and rolls back . Horrible mistake on purchasing . Do your research first ! I?m stuck with this crap vehicle.

Be very careful before you purchase.

I went from a Ford Escape to a 2017 Dodge Journey. I needed more room. The extra row of seats makes cabin room extremely tight. My kids are never comfortable. Front seats are very nice though. The MPG is HORRIBLE!! The amount of money it takes just for keep fuel in this vehicle is ridiculous. I average around 18 mpg and this is being very cautious while accelerating and driving the speed limit. (BTW-Escape was 38 mpg w/ eco boost) My tires were slick..like racing slicks at 28000 miles and there is a whistle in the cabin if you lower your window down if you use do not use the recycled air option on your console. The brakes seems to bounce but I've not had an issue with them not working properly as far as stopping the vehicle. Very little adjustment options for the front seats. If you have all three rows of seats in use there is no storage in the back. There are nice little storage compartments in the floor boards and thats good because there is NO ROOM for anything in the glove compartment for anything other than the owners manual. I miss my wireless connection for my phone and hands free command options. And now I'm being told the trade in value on a dodge journey is awful. I'll keep mine a few years to get the money owed down to a manageable number then I'm not keeping it. It was a huge mistake.

I really like the vehicle. It's roomy, it rides good and it was priced reasonably. I can fit my whole family in it. The vehicle is a flex fuel model which means it takes e85 gas which is awesome because it's cheaper. It's very reliable and safe.
