Most comfortable car I’ve owned.

Such a comfortable ride. Has plenty of legroom in front and back. Love that it has third row seating. It’s very spacious and drives smooth.

Excellent vehicle for large family

I am a mother of 6, 5 boys 1 girl. Having 4 children in car seats. This vehicle accommodated my large family well. I had the fully loaded vehicle equipped with a tv/dvd player. So many compartments and storage spaces, perfect for a sports family.

Best all wheel drive vehicle on our MN winter road

Love the color we chose-pearl surf blue, can plow through snow no problem, lots of interior room- seats fold down. Had some minor issues at first but was all under warranty. Love my Journey!

Not worth all the headaches

I have owned this car for 19 months and it's nothing but headaches! It IS great when it's running properly BUT it has issues starting. (Starter has been replaced) I am on my THIRD battery. It has a major battery draw, so guess have to be pulled if it's going to sit for more than 4 hours. I only have 145k on it and I have had to do a LOT of front end work and replace the inner transmission bearings and seal. I wish I would have NEVER bought a Journey.

Owned the car for 8 years

Have had on going starting problems for the past few years. Intermittently it won't start, leave a couple of minutes & then will start.Have had a new starter recently but the problem still occurs. Very frustrating.
