2010 Dodge Journey User Reviews

Pros

A spacious and fun crossover to drive

Cons

The battery is hidden under the fuse box.

Purchased As New

I live in NZ and bought this crossover for my family. The van is shorter than a GMC Acadia but a bit bigger thon a Toyota Highlander. The interior is much better then most Japanese and Korean cars. And the van is just the right size fit in my garage..

I have no complaints about the 3rd row of seats as other reviewers have written on their blogs. You can adjust the seats in so many different ways to make a passenger feel comfortable in the third row without sacrificing 2nd row seating comfort. And there are oversize seat cavities to stretch you feet on long trips.A Mazda 9 cannot even come close to the 3rd row comfort of a Journey.

As to interior features- the list are many. The van has lots of storage spaces to hide and stash your things. Outlets to power your electronics in the front, middle and back. Lots of cup holders. Focusable LED interior lights. An awesome car stereo. A 3 zone climate control Aircon. And other niceties.

The van has numerous safety features- among them are ABS, ESP, Airbags and anti-Roll feature. And an EVIC system which Japanese and Korean manufacturers do not bother to include in their cars.

I chose a 2.7l V6 Petrol Engine mated to a 6 speed automatic with Autostick. On highways the shifting is smooth. On uphills, I use the Autostick to gear down to a 5 or 4 speed automatic as adviced in the owner's manual.

Great job- Dodge! This is one crossover I am proud to be an owner....read morehide

Pros

Comfortable, quiet ride, fuel economy

Cons

none

Purchased As New

My Journey is a 4-cylinder SE model. The engine is getting smoother and more powerful day by day. Not as quick as a 6 or 8-cylinder engine, but you save more gas. At 20K, it is a bargain for a ride that is safe, economical and dependable.

Pros

Wife loves it.

Cons

none

Purchased As New

I'm 6' and 240#. I fit in it and have leg room to spare. Seat is adjustable enough to accomodate my tiny wife. Easy access to the back seats for car seats, good amount of rear storage and a nice level of doo-dads on the base model. My experience with full size Dodge trucks has been great, hoping that this will be of the same quality.
Bought the Journey to replace a Honda minivan( I didn't find it to be comfortable). I will still use my 1 ton 4WD diesel for myself, this is primarely for my wife.
For the money, the Journey seems to be an excellent buy.Paid right at 21,000.00 "out the door", cash deal, no financing. They do have nice rates for those who wish to finance it....read morehide

Pros

Great SUV

Cons

None

Purchased As New

This SUV is a Winnner! It handles great, generous interior space, head-turner and the third row seat is fantastic. I looked at all the other small/mid-size SUVs and this one had them all beat. The Journey gives you so much more for the dollar with the standard V6, 6 Speed transmission, tons of safety features, Sirius/Bluetooth radio etc....read morehide
