Smaller than the typical mid-sized SUV, the Journey is a dated and mediocre performer. It rides well and is quiet, but that's about all. It suffers from a lack of agility, lousy fuel economy from the optional 3.6-liter V6, a reluctant transmission, and a tiny third-row seat. There are 2 recalls on this vehicle.

The Journey, Dodge's first car-based SUV, used the Chrysler Sebring/Dodge Avenger platform. The fairly compact vehicle offers a tiny third-row seat. A noisy 2.4-liter engine is standard, but the punchier and more refined 3.5-liter V6 engine is a better choice.

SXT models include cloth-trimmed seating, while Crossroad models include leather-trimmed seating with Sport Mesh inserts. The SXT has a driver's seat height adjuster and the Crossroad upgrades to a 6-way power driver seat with 4-way power lumbar.

Overall, the Dodge Journey is a decent vehicle in reliability. Although there are a few faults with the model, it's a decent ride if you invest in one of the best years.
