The Journey is not a horrible vehicle, but the seats are uncomfortable and the ride is jittery. Fuel economy is poor for a vehicle in this class. For the money, this ride has good features: keyless entry, sunroof, heated seats, car starter, bluetooth, 20 inch chrome wheels, plenty of power. There are better choices if you are willing to spend 33% more. Problems with reliability, the ignition and the power steering have both gone already. Luckily it's still under warranty.

Loved the car, hated the engine. The thing had 100 000k on it and blew blue smoke at any acceleration. Evidently a design flaw with the engine. I would have kept the car forever without the blue smoke. Probably the reason for eliminating the 2.7

I bought this extended cab to tow a fifth wheel. The only thing it can't pass is a gas station. It has been highly reliable. I would highly recommend this model to anyone looking to tow, without the cost and the fuss of a diesel. Did I mention the big block 8.1 liter engine?
