Replying to: crh47 (Apr 04, 2008 12:28 pm) Glad you are happy with your purchase, but for me to get a Journey Chrysler would have to throw some ridiculuos discounts on the tag. Actually, they probably will. But if I had a choice between this and the Highlander, I'd take the Highlander in a heartbeat (and I'm nowhere near a Toyota fan!). The Acadia in half a heartbeat. I can understand the big aspect, but I still say the Acadia is a much nicer vehicle. If price was a limiter, why didn't you look at the Acadia's cousin, the Outlook. It starts a little cheaper and since it's not selling quite as well as it's two upscale siblings, there are some attractive deals on it now.
#63 of 162 The Competition by albook Apr 20, 2008 (2:28 pm)
Honda just showed the new Pilot. I was wondering what are the oppinions of the Journey in comparison to the Pilot and other competition (Highlander, Veracruz). If given the choice, I'd rather have any of the others, as they have more space and utility, even the Pilot, which styling is a bit out there for me.

Replying to: albook (Apr 20, 2008 2:28 pm) I really dislike the new Pilot design. Replies to this message: albook (Apr 21, 2008 3:35 pm)

Replying to: qbrozen (Apr 21, 2008 8:30 am) I'm not a fan of the front end either, but I think it's nicer inside than the Journey.
#66 of 162 Just bought one by birdmandave Apr 27, 2008 (3:39 pm)
I purchased an SXT yesterday. Not sure if what I read here is based on facts or opinion. I am totally impressed with the handling, acceleration, and the storage is perfect. Fit golf clubs in the back without putting the second row seats down, and the storge box in the crago area is great for golf shoes, balls, and more. Not to mention you can keep ice cold drinks in the two cooler on the floor. I traded an 07 Ram with the Hemi engine. Even if I get three to four MPG more, I'll realize a significant reduction in fuel costs 3.70 p/gal. in FL. I would suggest before you post a negative comment, test drive one. I could have bought any crossover, suv, or whatever you call them, and the Journey by far offers more bang for the bucks.

Replying to: birdmandave (Apr 27, 2008 3:39 pm) just to help the board along, I'll ask ...   so what other vehicles did you test drive before buying the Journey? How do you think those other vehicles compared? Replies to this message: birdmandave (Apr 28, 2008 3:27 pm)

Replying to: qbrozen (Apr 28, 2008 10:45 am) Tested a Ford Edge Limited. The ride was good. It also had the SYNC system which is cool. It had very limited cargo room versus the Journey. Would have to keep the back seats down to fit golf clubs.I like the looks of the Edge,but if you want the moon roof, you give up the roof racks, The racks add a nice appearance. The Edge was about 6K higher. The Journey is already showing 19+ MPG with a mixture of city and long back road driving. I woulld have checked out a Murano, but once I heard Premium, I didn't even make it to the dealer.

Replying to: qbrozen (Apr 07, 2008 9:41 am) You are not correct. this was a FWD SXT w/ 3.5 under the hood. As for all the "I'd rather have an Acadia/Highlander/Pilot replies, we drove all of the above, and picked the Journey. Replies to this message: albook (Apr 30, 2008 3:15 pm)

#71 of 162 Price & Drive by jayadalla May 11, 2008 (5:37 pm)
I test drove a Journey yesterday. My thoughts - comfortable to sit in, drives like a car, plenty of space, should you need it. At my local dealership there was one parked next to a new grand caravan. The Journey is almost the exact same length, so if you don't want a van, but want the space - this might be a good choice. The other thing I noticed was the price. Very competitive. You could pay (at least in my area) $6-7k more for a Highlander similarly equipped.   Some of the odd things I noticed - odd center console for radio, HVAC, back-up camera, etc. It seemed, too, that the controls for the rear heating and cooling were up front. Maybe that's not the case. I didn't investigate it quite as well as I should have. I'm also not wild about the two-toned leather seats. We keep our cars for a very long time, and it could become a "shag carpet" moment at the time of sale. Replies to this message: albook (May 21, 2008 3:47 pm)
