2013 Dodge Journey - Great Economic Vehicle
This is a great family vehicle with a fantastic look! The Journey does great on gas with its v4 engine making it able to drive cross country on a tank and a half. The vehicle is very spacious with an optional third row built in. We use it mostly for hauling groceries but great when we have our nieces and nephews with us. The boys love that they can pack in a lot of toys for the long road trips and we love the space we get in the front seat to keep their snacks handy. We get a lot of questions about our car and most find it hard to believe the price tag on such a spacious vehicle. I would definitely buy this car again and am considering replacing our second vehicle with another Dodge Journey because we have been extremely happy with this one. The auto start feature is great for the Texa... (more)
Story
This car did so great on gas when we took our first family trip to Florida. Our gas bill was the lowest we have ever had and that allowed us extra funds to spend on our family's first vacation ever.
Pros
I absolutely love the gas mileage. This spacious family car does great on gas because of the v4 engine. The optional third seat gives us the ability to haul around extra kids or put the seats down for more space to move items around. The auto start feature is a life saver for the Texas heat.
Cons
Because of the v4 it doesn't pick up as fast as one would like, but that's not necessarily the worst thing. For a family car I would have preferred the luggage rack be included or even a hitch be included, our car came with neither so we always have to rely on that third row when we do our summer vacations.
2013 Dodge Journey - Love
The Dodge Journey is one of the best cars I've ever owned if not the best car I've ever owned! Not only is stylish but it's functional too and has such a smooth ride. It is one of the most affordable small SUVs around. I own the black top package journey and get compliments on how nice the black on black looks. The interior is beautiful and comfortable. Also I love all of the bells and whistles everything is touch screen it's so neat! My only complaint is we are n family of five and it can be a little too tight with car seats at time and the 3rd row isn't made for everyday use or for an adult. I haven't had one issue with this car and I love that it has quite a bit of power and get up and go.
Story
We have really enjoyed taking road trips in this car to the mountains to the beach all over!
Pros
I love how stylish this car is the exterior is the black top package it's beautiful and the interior is so comfortable and stylish too. I love that everything even the air conditioner controls are touch screen. The touch screen is huge as well. It also has good speed with the v6 engine.
Cons
The major cons I have is we are now a family of five and it isn't quite roomy enough for us anymore. Also the 3rd row that I was once excited for isn't really functional. An adult can't comfortably fit in the 3rd row.
2014 Dodge Journey - Great compact SUV
This is a great family car. It's really the perfect size, almost like a crossover. When we were living in Europe, this came in handy because parking spaces are so much smaller than in the states. I love that the third row seats are collapsible, it makes it so simple to instantly add more storage room in the trunk area. I love that, even though it's an SUV, it's still sporty looking. My Journey has the optional blacktop package, which makes it look even more sleek. The rear A/C is wonderful for hot days when just the front A/C would have a hard time circulating through the cabin. The large display screen for the entertainment system is wonderful. It makes it much easier for the driver to navigate the menus. Another great feature is the UConnect system which allows for hands free phone c... (more)
Story
The advertising slogan for the Journey is, "Life is a Journey", well, this car has driven all over Europe, through many countries and seen many castles. Most of the miles on it were spent on the German Autobahn.
Pros
My favorite features about the Journey are the large display screen for the entertainment system, and the sporty look of the exterior of the car. I also love that I'm able to fit three children's car seats across in the second row, and the fact that the third row folds down quickly and easily for instant storage space if needed.
Cons
The blind spots in this car can be troublesome because of how boxed in the design is. My biggest complaint, though, is the lack of storage space available when the third row is in use.
