I really like this vehicle because it has the space, style, and speed I need in an SUV.
I own a 2004 Dodge Durango SLT with a Hemi engine. I really like the SUV’s sleek appearance. However, the fiberglass body and bumper are easily dented and dinged. I like cars that I can fix up and personalize, setting them apart from the rest, and my Dodge Durango allows me to do just that. I can add a body kit, fender vents, bra, rain shields, spoiler, etc. to set my Durango apart from the rest. My Durango is very comfortable with its cloth seats. I hate leather seats because leather is so cold and impersonal. Externally, my Durango is not too big and it’s not too small, it’s just right for my taste. On the inside, I love that my Durango has a third row. I have three children that do not like to touch each other in the car, so the third row is definitely a plus for me. However, the trunk space is very narrow unless I let down the third row. I do like how my Durango has a secret compartment underneath the trunk where I can store my personal belongings, such as my purse or laptop. I am definitely not satisfied with the gas mileage of my Durango. I find myself paying at least $50 a week in gas just to take the kids back and forth to school. I know this might not sound like much to a working person, but I am a homemaker. I am, however, grateful for the reasonable repair costs. Since I bought my Durango used, of course it was going to need some repairs. But I receive free oil changes for life from my local Dodge dealership even though I purchased the vehicle from a police auction and not the Dodge dealership. My Dodge Durango is quite fun to drive as long as it’s not raining. No matter how slow I drive in the rain, I always get pulled to one side of the road by standing water, while it seems as though other cars race by me with no problems. Since my Durango has a Hemi engine, it accelerates like a race car. My family almost got whiplash a several times upon me taking off from a stopped position. The handling and control of the vehicle took some getting used to. Now I’m a pro at maneuvering around objects and through tight spaces.

The truck performed well when we first got it but it has definitely had its issues over the years. For a while the truck would randomly cut off while I was driving. I was on the highway once luckily nearing an exit and the truck randomly cut off. Another issue we had was that the steering wheel was off. I was trying to teach my daughter how to drive and had to be extra cautious because the truck wasn’t 100%. I do believe the truck is a good quality though. It is very durable and somewhat reliable. Many storms that are tough for people to drive through, I have made it home safely with the Durango. Because it sits up high and has nice strong tires, it makes it easier to travel through rain and puddles. The engine is great too, the truck picks up speed very nicely. I always make it to my events on time and safely thanks to my truck.

Spacious, practical vehicle
This is a good running vehicle. It has the get-up and go that our family requires in a vehicle. Surprisingly, it does not use an exceptional amount of gas either. I really like the style of it in addition to its practicality. The space that this vehicle has is really great! We can get the kids and all of their belongings in it very comfortably with minimal effort. Grocery shopping with the kids in tow is no longer a problem with all of the interior space that goes along with this sport utility vehicle. We also have the optional third row seat so if we need to haul additional passengers, it is not a problem.
