2009 Dodge Journey

Pros: Seats 7, peppy engine (3.5L), good ride, great combination of tech toys for the family and great value.

Cons: None so far.

Summary: For the cost of what I got my Journey R/T fully loaded I could not get another car in this class with so much to offer a family. Through Dodge incentives and dealer negotiations I was able to save over $6500 off MSRP. I tried other brands with test drives and negotiations but could not even come close to the savings with the same or better tech packages. Currently, I am averaging 21 MPG driving a mix of city and highway. I will be going on a road trip to Disney soon and anticipate getting closer to the 24 MPG as stated from Dodge. Bottom line is that my two girls love to ride in the car and my wife says it rides better than her 2010 Passat wagon. That's enough reviews for me to be happy with this car.
