    I love this guys constant suggestions to keep an armory in the dodge journey... This space might even be big enough for a grenade.. This hideaway compartment can also easily house your enemy's souls. Check under your back seats for a blood... I mean water-tight compartment for human hearts.. er ... sodas.

    I have a 2016 Dodge Journey (red too) and I LOVE all the storage compartments. I have two kids so I keep some wipes and other stuff for them in there. I didn't know about the integrated booster seat. I'm not sure if mine has that or if I just never noticed. Definitely going to check. And the storage compartment in the back is awesome too. I keep a small air compressor, jumper cables, and some other basic repair tools in there for emergencies.

    My mom has 2016 Dodge Journey. Its very comfortable, with lots of versatile storage space. My favorite features are the illuminated cup holders, puddle lamps on the front doors for night vision and in floor storage bins that can also be coolers for drinks. It has zero problems so far.

    great video!! I just picked up a 16 RT and because of the dealer incentives AND the square styling , I took a look/drive and thought this is a great American product. we will see how she holds up in the future ( my town and country has 110,00 no issues). 2000 miles later, I am impressed. I have read some articles saying this car was not refined.. in the RT trim and suspension tuning + 19s( although they are skinny prob for fuel econ) - more than capable . comfy and as friends would say" wtf kinda car is this? this is nice!" lol. but the best part...hehehe, is this video...room for some carryon arms, lol. no seriously, I have a young child and until now did NOT know about the booster seats... I went outside to check and walla!! thanks guys, u have a new subscriber

  • @gregoryguza4623
    @gregoryguza4623 8 років тому +2

    I got the 4 cylinder model. The 4 cylinder engine is mated to a 4-speed transmission (the V6 is mated to a 6-speed). Acceleration seems non-existent when you have the air conditioner turned on. With the AC off-acceleration is lively or dull-depending on the car's mood at the time. I installed a K&N replacement air filter and it does make an improvement for this. Gas mileage could be better for a CUV (I'm averaging about 19 mpg in the city). All in all-it's not a bad vehicle, it's a little out-dated (it hasn't received any changes since 2012) but it does have sharp styling and it's starting price seems better than a lot of other makes and models in its class. Oh yeah-the spark plugs have to be changed every 30,000 miles for the 4 cylinder engine-100,000 miles for the V6. But the plugs are easy to change yourself on the 4 cylinder-a lot of disassembly for the V6. The Durango is nice-but bigger and much more expensive. It depends on what you like and your budget.

    I have a 2014. I'm really sad it doesn't have a hard surface on the back of the passenger seat. Never needed to check until now, but that seat doesn't flip forward :( Goes to about 90 degrees and stops. It also doesn't have the passenger seat storage, which I never knew about, but it sure would have been useful ! I absolutely love everything else about the Dodge Journey.

    Also, changing the battery in the vehicle appears to be kind-of a nightmare-check out a couple videos here on UA-cam. But my father's 1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan has that same issue-so it's not just a Dodge thing.

  • @gregoryguza4623
    @gregoryguza4623 8 років тому +4

    Unfortunately, half of the features mentioned here aren't standard equipment. I have a 2015 SXT model that I bought last year and it doesn't have the fold-down passenger seat with the storage bin under the cushion. It doesn't have the built-in booster seat, it doesn't have the large entertainment touch screen or the heated seats. It doesn't even have an overhead console to keep your sunglasses safe. I like the styling of it but I do wish I'd picked something else with more standard equipment. But affordability is usually the biggest issue.

    • @medranofamilytx
      @medranofamilytx 8 років тому

      +Gregory Guza Did you get the 4 or 6 cylinder? We are in the market for one and are looking into the Journey vs. the Durango. How is it on gas and power when driving? Thanks

    • @evanlandry7271
      @evanlandry7271 7 років тому +3

      If your still looking, do not get the 4 cylinder. That comes with a 4 speed automatic... You may save at the pump but the lack of power and gears if just stupid. Go for the Pentestar V6 with the 6 speed. Gets you 20+ combined MPG. But there are missing features that just aren't even on the Journey including cooled front seats, panoramic sunroof, heated rear seats, power liftgate, and also no lane departure warning and forward collision alert. The Journey is expected to be "redesigned" in late 2017 so hopefully that gets it to be a little better..... So, if you need a roomy 3rd row seat, good towing capabilities, more features, and also the HEMI V8, go for the Durango. If you need value and versatility in a small package, but don't want a hefty price tag, go for the Journey.

    • @medranofamilytx
      @medranofamilytx 7 років тому +1

      Evan Landry We ended up with a 2015 Durango SXT V6. It had a few added packages that made it really nice. Enough for what we need and we love it. THe v6 Pentastar has plenty of power and is good on gas. We ended up test driving a brand new Journey and besides smelling like something was burning and having the check engine light one (yes, it had 11 miles on it), we found it was a bit smaller than we thought. Test drove a Durango and it was a no brainer. I would recommend the Durango over of the Journey any day.

I have my self not looked yet but I beleve the spark plugs for the car are no longer good plugs they downgraded them from lifetime iridium to some cheaper 10000 mile plug. it actuley states right in the book and papers thay give you as well as online when you log in that you need to replace the plugs at 10000 miles however I was told buy the dealer that this is the required maintence for the warranty of the car and that if you come in before the car sys 10000 miles they would replace the plugs and do a oil change free of charge.
