    Since 2008, Dodge has had quite the difficult time with their Journey crossover and only recently shown signs of bigger gains in sales in North America. For 2017, the company has made revisions here and there, along with some new cosmetic additions as options. But are there still some good things to like about it, despite it's rather negative history? I've compiled at least 5 things I like about the Journey, to see if I can shed some light on its good side.

    We just bought our 2019 Dodge Journey GT AWD V6 and we love it. The kids enjoy the rear entertainment system and the second row easily slides to allow access to the third. Third row is small, but good for the two little ones. V6 provides a lot of power (it's no Bugatti though). Love the large U connect Touchscreen, very easy to use. Leather is very comfortable. Great car, also compliments my 2014 Avenger nicely.

      Biggie Cheese no it’s because I actually have taste in cars and want something that’s faster than a lawnmower. Last month when I went to Florida, I got a 2019 Dodge Journey GT FWD as my rental. It came with the upgraded 6 speed auto and 6 cylinder engine, but it was so slow I honestly thought they had given me the 4 cylinder at first. Look at any decent review of the Dodge Journey, absolutely NO ONE likes this American hunk of crap. The journey is one of the worst cars on sale today, and that’s probably why car and driver rates it 2 out of 5. On the other hand, if my car was such a waste of money, why is it that the only ratings I see for it are 4.5 out of 5 and above? Also, just because I can afford something nice unlike you doesn’t mean it’s a waste of money.

      Dylan 81 something I can’t afford?🤣 you know your poor when you flex a 40 thousand dollar car. And the reason it has good reviews it’s bc the only people who drive bmws are old white people who know nothing about cars. And if you have a “taste for cars” then why is your x5 stock😭😭

      @@mattX5 Buying a BMW is only bragging rights to your friends who don't know that BMW means "Broken Mechanic Wanted" that's why you can pick them up used cheap. BMW lose value faster than any car on the market for this reason they are a nightmare to own (I've owned 3). My friend owns a BMW dealership and he doesn't recommended owning. If you need to drive a BMW just lease it either way your losing a ton of money.

Got the car brand new the first week out of the dealership the engine light came on, the radio does locks very often, it won’t turn on or off, the uconnect future doesn’t link with my phone all the time.

      Got myself a 2011 Crew Édition with 187,000+ Kms on it. 80% highway, brakes have been changed 3 times only. Suspension is flaky and cracks even with links changed twice. Climate (2 zone) failed this last winter and couldn’t warm up the cabin, this has been the biggest concern and problematic since purchase. Highway ride is nice and quiet only buy the best rubber money can buy for summer and winter tires. Engine is quiet smooth even after all these years, doing 8.6L/100Km on highway on our trips fully loaded so it is better than I expected. Have used only synthetic oil from the beginning.

      Also. Transmission slips when cold. FCA has “tried” to fix this but they are clueless of why. So on a cold morning you’ll press the gas and engine will rev but it won’t move then it kicks in. Highway passing or green light acceleration: WOW, got plenty of poneys under the hood to burn some rubber or to pass any car at “legal” speeds.
