Great ride for long trips
We've had this vehicle for five years. It is roomy, reliable, drives smoothly, and has most of the bells and whistles. Equipped with some must haves: electric locks, windows, sunroof, heated mirrors, and seats; A/C; cruise control; am/fm radio, cd player, and UConnect seats 7; 5 reclining seats; extra storage in seat and floor. This crossover has great gas mileage and fold down middle and rear seats to haul all your necessities.

Great on gas!
We have owned this car for over 4 years and have had many problems that were not covered by the warranty-3 brake jobs +4 steering pumps. Finally, the steering pump was recalled after we replaced it 4 times at our own cost. Besides those mechanical problems, it has been a good car that has great gas mileage. It also is a comfortable ride.

Biggest Bang for your Buck
Overall good experience, good fuel economy and the pentastar V6 reacts quickly when you need passing power. Ride is comfortable and sound system is good, for the cost of this crossover, it is good value for a lot of car.

Great car!
This car has been a joy to drive since we purchased it in June 2012. We have a 5 year extended warranty that has not been used since we have had no problems. It is roomy, smooth riding, the keyless entry, dual front heated seats, dual temperature controls, and the large display screen make it a pleasure to drive. Lots of space in the back and racks on top which have never been used. The ABS system, AWD and 6 airbags make it a very safe vehicle to drive.

Great in Summer
Well lots of gadgets all over. Rear Camera gets dirty everyday and needs cleaning before backing up.
No heat in rear seats for the baby unless it is left on full bore. Front seat has great heat. Windows fog up very fast on rear sides with someone back there. Also noticed this on Drivers window . When we reach our first destination the baby was very cold and cranky. We don't travel far in winter with him unless we turn the heat on full force to make sure heat gets back there as much as possible.
Not a big fan of anti-slip on drive wheels as it burns out your brakes faster and cost money. But you can turn them off on the dash and drive old style. As for the seating, Even back seats are comfortable for me. Other then NO heat for the baby, the car is very good. Can live with dirty camera but not frosted windows or no heat in back seat.

Good Family Size Vehicle
I have 2 kids who both play hockey and suprisingly enough, we are almost always driving our kids and the other kids home from the games, practices etc. The Journey is perfect for me and my wife as it has plenty of trunk space and we can easily fit 4 hockey bags, (5 if we really try) so this car is perfect for us. Not the best on gas but it isn't like its a guzzler. All around this is the perfect car for our family.

The Amazing Journey!
I am so happy with the purchase of our Dodge Journey. We rented a lot of different cars before deciding on the Journey and we have not been disappointed with the choice. It is incredibly comfortable with deep wide seats that don't make your legs or back hurt after a long road trip. It feels like you're driving in your easy chair! The back seats have plenty of leg room even for people over 6'5. It's not uncomfortable at all. The hatchback part is roomy even for our larger amps and music equipment. The car drives like a smaller car but doesn't feel like one. It handles really well and the parking assist is a blessing! Considering it is a crossover it still gets good gas mileage and drives like a dream. The Journey makes the Journey a 10!

Nice ride
The interior of this car is spacious and the back seat comfortably seats three adults. the fold down arm rest in the middle is a nice feature. the key less entry and push start that comes as a basic on all models keep you from scrummaging through your pockets to find your keys, as long as there on you, you can enter and start the car.

Great Car For A Decent Price
My husband and I bought our 2012 Dodge Journey about a year ago, and I really love it. We were having a baby, and needed something with more room. Took it for a test drive and loved it from the minute we got in! His dad liked it so much afterwards, he went and bought one as well!

Luxury Feel Affordable Price
We bought this car while waiting for our son to be born. It is a very roomy vehicle with a very luxurious interior. The handling is decent and the gas mileage is above average. My only concern is that the 4 cylinder does not give as much power as I'd like but the more expensive model comes with a Pentastar V6 which I'm sure would be excellent. All in all this vehicle will do everything you ask of it and you will look good while driving it.

Love the truck, hate the "bugs"
While I truly do love my 2012 Journey R/T, I am greatly bothered by the weird issues my Journey keeps having. Love the exterior styling, the interior styling, hate the fuel economy (3.5L V6). Seem to have issues constantly with little creaks and squeaks from the interior, the HVAC whistles loudly on the hwy (dealer says thats normal) - TPS sensors keep going off (dealer cant find issue) and as of 12/24/12, the brakes have suddenly become very "numb" feeling and require alot of pressure to try and stop, which resulted in bumping into a family members Lexus on Christmas Day when it first happened - dealer says its our fault as we havent been servicing the brakes properly (the truck only has 20,000kms on it!!) -- while Im happy with the overall truck, the issues it has is really making me rethink our choice of this particular Dodge product. If we were to be buying again, we wouldve bought a Jeep Gr.Cherokee or Gr.Caravan instead ... just too many problems with the DJ.

Great Car
This car is very reliable for travel. It has superb fuel economy and is a beautiful car. It is the perfect hatchback for a family vacation. Excellent quality and quiet smooth ride. I have the rt with 8.4 screeen with nav . Easy to read and the bluetooth and voice recognition works great. I was surprised how well the navigation syncs with the two screeens when aturn is coming as well as the street view that comes up of major ramps coming . I drove it from Ont to BC already and now have 20k with no issues with the car. However the nav which is software from google maps are not upto date . That is to say they are as upto date as google has. Dodge needs to pressure google to update more frequently with no cost updates.

One of the cheapest 7 seater SUV
I haven't have any problems with my car. I definitely love it and will recommend to any one who is looking for a cheaper SUV. Just be wary that it will not seat 7 full grown people as the third row seat is definitely just for kids. Fuel economy is average.
