  Took it on a 1000 mile trip to Florida first month. 4 adults no one crowded. Good ride for an 8 hour trip.

  Its OK - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By tg - January 4 - 11:53 pm

  The first weekend we owned the Journey the brake module went out and then during service found the cv boot was torn and about 2 months ago had to have the wrieless ignition or whatever it is replaced. Overall though it has been a good vehicle and the service has been great. Havent paid for a service yet nearing 11000 miles. MPG can get up there as long as your not in traffic but thats any. Got it based on room being we have two full sized dogs that ride in the back(no thrid row). Tranny whines a little too loud i think. But its quiet for the most part.

  LOVE MY JOURNEY!!! - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By DodgeGirl09 - December 23 - 3:43 pm

  I really havent had it that long, but I must say, for a crossover, you really get a lot of features and extras for teh price. It has a lot more leg room that it looks like from the outside. Drives smooth, and handles very well. I have seen in other reviews that customers were not happy with the way thinterior is made, that it is too cheap, but I disagree. Yes, its not a lexus, but for a mom driving her 5 yr old, and 17 yr old around, it is very sturdy and functional. Its easy to clean, and takes the abuse that my boys have to offer (LOL). Its also very easy to fold the seats down, or scooter them forward, very user friendly for a mom on the go!

  Great Car for a Low Price - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By nywoman77 - December 14 - 4:23 am

  Ive had my Journey for two weeks now. I looked at many other vehicles and found this one to offer all the features I was looking for. It was the best price in its class. It has fair gas mileage for a vehicle of its size, weight and engine size. I think the space and convenient storage exceed any expectations I had. I cant wait to take it on my first road trip. All in all, its fun to drive

  Love my Journey but - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Susan - October 25 - 3:56 am

  Bought my Journey over a month ago. Love the way it looks, love the way it drives. got it in green. Everything works good , except for that strange noise that occurs when turning left. Went to the dealership and was told they havent had any complaints about it. Not sure what it is but I sure hope my doesnt fall off. So far the gas mileage is good, but havent taken a long trip yet. Not really loving the plastic interior though.

  SE is a good Common Sense Car - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By HMK - September 18 - 11:33 am

  Wanted to replace our compact care with something more practical. Was impressed by the low base price. You get a lot of car for the money. Lots of extras and safety is standard (ABS, ESP, Airbags). Good car for driving around town. Car handles and drives well.

  Fantastic Value For The Money - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By sfriend - September 7 - 12:33 am

  I have read other reviews here and I have to say that most of the complaints about the Journey are just absurd and elementary. Most all brands have plastic interiors,power wise this is not a sports car,we are consistently getting 18mpg in town and 25mpg highway. As far as transmission problems,we have have not experienced any,but thats not to say there arent a few. As I drive around town I cant help notice all of the well marked courtesy vehicles from Mercedes, BMW,Acura and Lexus. Why do your think they are out there? Its not because they are getting an oil change! Most All brands have issues & recalls. We have the SXT model. Overall we feel the Journey is a fantastic value for the money.

  Great Family Vehicle - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By nl1223 - July 6 - 3:50 pm

  This has been a great vehicle for me and my 2 girls. On the 3rd day we had the Journey, we went on a camping trip. It held all our gear and supplies easily. The seats and the handling made the 6 hour drive a breeze. When my girls want to take a couple of friends along, its no problem with the 3rd row seat. As a busy, single mom, I highly recommend this vehicle.

  Finally a SUV for a realistic price! - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By BBall Mom - June 23 - 6:43 pm

  Just purchased my first SUV yesterday. Previously I had Chrysler Town & Country LXI for 6 years and wanted something sporty but yet roomy enough for my children. Pricing is very reasonable for a SUV type vehicle. I went with the XLT w/o the 3rd row seat. Both versions have plenty of room. I purchased the black with silver chrome wheels very stylish. I am very happy with my purchased!

  Excellent Choice - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Journeyman - May 12 - 2:10 am

  I absolutely love this vehicle! After shopping around, we decided on a Journey for its combination of basic features and price. Our red V6 R/T cruises effortlessly, noiselessly and comfortably. It sits 7 and the layout is ingenious. Elegant, less nerd than a mini van. Fun and well designed. Wholeheartedly recommend.
