  2009 SXT Dodge Journey - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Rich Gordon - October 7 - 9:13 pm

  Ordered it from dealer. Got the SXT with all of the options at 3000 less than an RT. Hi Quality SUV for a low price. Good "value" car. 24mpg on the Highway, 18 in town. Super Crash rating, quiet, and comfortable. 20000 miles on it and absolutely no problems. High Tech car on inside. Would definitely buy it again.

  So Far, So Good - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By New Dodge Guy - September 8 - 4:20 pm

  Im up to 7k miles on the Journey. So Far this car has been great! I was considering a Murano and after a friend bought one and had many issues, I started looking at other options. Came across this vehicle and the price/options/warranty that it offered were too good to pass up. The storage in this vehicle is awesome! Very comfortable seats for longer rides.

  Classy and Fun to Drive - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Momcat - May 7 - 2:33 pm

  Got this car in May to replace my previous SUV. So far, I love it! It has so many great features, and my kids love the comfort. I love the safety features. I would have the the R/T, but I did not want leather seats (I hated them on my last SUV) - these cloth seats look great, are comfortable, and I am quite happy with my choice. Drives beautifully,and is so very quiet. My only complaint to date is there is a pretty good blind spot in this car, but it helps leaving the extra backseat mirror down to help with this. I love this vehicle and would recommend it to anyone not wanting to be a minivan mom!

  48 hour ownership - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Michael Arbuthnot - April 9 - 6:20 am

  We had our RT for 48 hours! Woman on a cell ran a stop sign in a rural area and we drilled her! The air bags performed perfectly.... I had a small contusion on my left knee and my wife has lingering aches in her chest from the shoulder harness. Thats all. The car was declared a total loss and the crumple zones worked as they were engineeered to. We replaced it with an identical vehicle and hope to hell this one lasts a bit longer. We are both 70 years young!

  Brakes - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By Thom179 - March 22 - 9:03 pm

  Most complaints seem to be about the brake system. I had to replace the brakes and rotors at 24,000 miles. The vehicle wants to "take-off" going down hills because of the 6th gear. I learned to use the shift lever, placing the transmission in a lower gear, to slow the car down and stay off the brakes. Its disturbing when the service rep tells you that the rotors are "throw-away". This is a good vehicle and I would buy another one in the future.

  So Far So Good - 2009 Dodge Journey
  By JON - January 8 - 12:00 am

  Went to the dealer for a hole in one sponsorship for a golf tourney, parts guy remembered that we had been there a year ago looking for a crossover, and asked if we had seen the journey. long story short, I saw it, loved it, called my wife to come down. She test drove it and told me that it was what she wanted. We had looked and driven many in the $26,000 and under range, and she only liked the Mazda Tribute, until the Journey that is. The journey drives great, and is comfortable. It is perfect for us. Controls are good, sound system is good, plenty of room and storage. After 1000 miles we average about 20.5 mi per gal. It is no speed demon, but as a family vehicle it is perfect for us.
