What owners say
"Overall, owners appreciate the 2009 Dodge Journey for its spaciousness, comfortable ride, and decent fuel economy. Many drivers highlight its versatility and storage options, making it a great choice for families and road trips. However, some find it overpriced and feel the performance could be better, especially for a vehicle of its size. A few reviewers mentioned minor electrical issues but still consider it a reliable option."
Great vehicle. The 3.5L V6 is very adequate for this vehicle. You can't even hear it running and yet when you step on it has a nice sound through the dual exhaust. The ride quality is absolutely amazing! My buddy who has a Cadillac Escalade says it rides better than his vehicle. The 19" wheels and chrome plated rims really add a sporty appearance. I get compliments all the time. The gas mileage is pretty good considering it weighs 4000lbs. All in all I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for versatility and a very comfortable ride. Oh and I almost forgot....there is storage everywhere!!
June 26, 2009Performance - Braking is awesome, handling is very good for a SUV Build Quality - surprisingly good with it's Mitsubishi/Hyundai/Dodge world engine Appearance - exterior is nice, interrior needs improvement Cost of Ownership - gas mileage is good except on highway All in all, a very good car for the price!!!
December 28, 2009Vehicle has been great for our family... Love the fact we can get the whole family in the vehicle and still have some room. We had the vehcile for over 4 years and could not be more blessed. Great vehicle!

March 23, 2015Very spacious, good features, better than expected fuel economy while still feeling sporty and quite nimble.
April 27, 2021Front seat space is great plenty of elbow room, and can load up the cargo area with a lot of things! Does ok on mpg on highway I get around 25, but only 16 in town. I would buy another one.
December 29, 2014The Journey is the ultimate family car. Lots of storage, lots of options, and a great ride. Could use a bigger engine as it's a big heavy car, but what can I say, I like big engines lots n lots.
September 6, 2009its a nice suv to drive enough performance i like the double pipe at the back brake disks at the 4 wheels air bags all around a lot space inside doesnt take to much gaz suspension very smooth and quiet in general its a good vehicule inside sound systeme and control at dash super cool
October 5, 2008Some issues with the RT and drivers window not working and passenger heat. This is what you might expect with a car with high mileage. Just some general things that you need to fix and replace when the car get older.
April 22, 2015Yet another utility vehicle but this one is a keeper so far. Space and ergonomics sold this vehicle, even though nwe paid too much. It is primarily a postal delivery vehicle but does all of our towing. Good utility vehicle with all of the bells and whistles. There are some intermittant elictrical problems but the dealer has fixed them, no problem.
July 4, 2010My main critique of the Journey is the performance. Though I should not expect much since it's based off a minivan, I was hoping for more of an SUV platform. My wife loves the car and it's great for moving large objects. The main drawback is it handles just like a minivan. So if that is what you're looking for, you have the right car.
