I have always been against buying a Dodge. I have never heard anyone say anything good about them. Usually I hear that they break down after 70,000 miles. My wife and I found out we were having twins and our five-seat family car wasn't big enough for use (we have two other kids). We researched SUVs with a 3rd row, since I'm against minivans. We found the Dodge Journey to be the most affordable, so we went to the nearest Dodge dealer to test drive one. We had no intention to purchase one, but the salesman showed us a basic Dodge Journey, and we were surprised how much it came with. It even had built in booster seats in the middle row, which is huge with the family we have. It even got better gas mileage than the car we traded in.

I love the space of the interior and the style of the exterior. The gas mileage could be better, but the cost of the vehicle and the handling makes up for it.
