  Love my Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By LIFE IS GOOD - July 26 - 2:53 pm

  I love this vehicle. Smoothest ride I have ever had, it feels like I am gliding down the road. I have owned a Jeep liberty, rav4, Blazer, Camry. This is the best ride by far. Handles great!

  Love my Journey! - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Sundance - May 15 - 7:10 pm

  When my Saab 9-3 was in the shop, the rental car agency gave me a Journey. I fell in love with it immediately. Long story short, retired the Saab after 10 years of driving and bought a Journey. Lots of conveniences that make travel with 2 and 4 year olds a breeze. Lots of room for groceries, stroller, toys, change of clothes. No third seat in mine, so I have a great area for changing a diaper when on the road. Some little quirks (like a vibration in the dash over 55 MPH that sounds like a bee) but I expect they can be taken care of. Great price, and great mileage -- much better than the EPA estimate. If I had it to do over, I would buy another in a heartbeat.

  Great vehicle for the money - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Greg - May 2 - 8:33 pm

  This vehicle has to be one of the best made vehicles I have driven. Very comfortable ride. Tracks well on wet or dry roads. Handles bumps extremely well.

  Wifes car - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Ryan - April 27 - 5:40 pm

  I dont get to drive this a lot it is the wifes car. She absolutely loves it. I like the AWD and the styling. Add some pin striping and it really makes this vehicle look good. Would recommend this crossover vehicle to anyone not wanting a minivan.

  Was hoping for better - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By usmc - April 6 - 2:36 pm

  As soon as I drove this car home, there was a squeak on the drivers side undercarriage. I took it back and it was fixed in a jiffy .. something hadnt been tightened down. When I turn on the A/C there is a "shushing" noise. I need to get that checked out too. Also, it doesnt seem to me that the rear window defroster is working at all. I have put 3500 miles on it since I bought it in Feb.09, with no problems other than what I first mentioned. It is quiet on the road and has enough zip when I need it. The seats show dirt quickly so I have to stay on top of that. The wiper blades are not good quality. They squeak and streak, so Im not happy about that. Decent gas mileage.

  Family Truckster - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Paul K - March 24 - 4:10 am

  This vehicle is by far the best in its class, and priced well for quality and performance it delivers. As many first set of brakes were replaced at 12K, but under warranty. Dealer adv that Dodge is making improvement to the brake pads soon. The V-6 with quick shift option is great. The national safety ratings are excellant. Only complaint city MPG could be better, but again my wife drives like she trying out for pole position in NASCAR. The under hidden storage, beverage (in dash), built in power converter, and recharging flash light, and rear doors that open 180 degrees are options you wont find in an import. Would by again..

  A Good Purchase... - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By The Madd Bulldog - February 12 - 1:26 am

  Overall, I am very happy with my Journey... its put together very well, is comfortable, and has an "edge" to it. Was definitely worth the purchase price.

  Get rid of 19" tire option - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Mbardsley - February 9 - 8:53 pm

  My wife really wanted the 19" wheel package, giving the vehicle a bigger look. Wow, did we learn. This was a Demo unit, when dodge dealers closing, so got a great deal, almost 10,000 off. We have gone through 2 of the 19" Kumho tires. They are way to soft, cant get them aftermarket. Discount tires is Dealer for Kohmo, but fount like 1 tire in texas. New dealer does not care, since we did not buy from them, oh well. No warranty, take it up with Kohmo. They want $360 per tire for replacement. Only tire made in that size or even close.

  The best SUV nobody knows - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Juan Marcos - January 8 - 1:26 am

  First time I saw the Journey was on the road. Chrysler was not advertising at the time and then early last year went on a trip and rented one. I was very impressed by the sure footed handling, styling and interior design. Then I bought one. I tow a medium sized boat so I got the 3.5L V6 AWD and the optional 19" tires with the sport suspension and trailer package. The handling is almost sport car like, towing the boat is very secure, love the convenience of the interior compartments, IPOD in the glove box and I get great millage on the highway. Compared to other crossover SUVs, the performance and looks is as good or better, and a much better value. This is to me, the best SUV nobody knows.

  lemon of a car - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Kiki - January 4 - 1:46 pm

  One month after purchasing my 09 Journey, I was locked out in the extreme cold because the computer system went dead. I brought it back twice to be repaired. I noticed a rotten egg smell that I brought the car back for twice and was told there was nothing wrong. Then it leaked water through the roof, that was repaired. Now as I was driving 60 miles an hour on the highway, a very loud bang and then the speed immediately dropped down to 2 miles per hour and barely moving. I have been without a car for 2 days while they replace the ptu unit in the transmission. To say this car is a lemon is being nice.
