2009 Dodge Journey Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by rlpersinger

Ride smoothness

Rides great for a work and secondary family like car

Price or payments

Low financing available at 4%. I paid just over 1/2 of MSRP with discounts/incentives

Discounts & incentives

List just under $24k...with dealer and Dodge incentives along with the cash for clunkers dollars I paid just slightly over $13k. I run all my cars past 200,000 miles and the lifetime warranty made this car a very good consideration.

Safety & braking

High safety rating for its class. Brakes are very good.

Interior styling

Lots of plastic but tolerable. Unless I find and adjust to a "sweet spot" in the seating it is abit tough to see the speedo and other gauges around the steering wheel. Climate controls and radio controls should be switched around in the dash.

Cargo capacity

Towing capcity for the 4 cyl is rated only at 1000 lbs...more so because of the powertrain. Fine enough for my dog trailer (850 lbs loaded) but not much use past that.
