I live in the country and there are 6 people in my family, so I have been looking into the 2011 dodge journey, as it seems like it could handle gravel roads and it has enough seating for the family. What is your opinion on it?|||According to edmunds.com (one of the most respected auto reviewers in the world), here are its pros/cons:
PROS:
- family-friendly size
- low price
- wide-opening rear doors
- sophisticated, high quality, and innovative interior
- good fuel economy for a 3-row SUV (20mpg city/26mpg highway)
- Excellent safety scores--earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick Award.
- Quiet, Smooth, ride.
- interesting entertainment/communication options
- ultra comfortable seats
- brand new 3.6L PENTASTAR is more powerful, efficient, and refined than those of it's competitors
CONS:
- Base model's lackluster 4-cylinder engine
- limited third-row leg room
It can handle gravel roads very well (I have testdriven it extensively, but did not buy it due to towing capabilty that didn't meet my needs), significantly better than many of it's competitors, but not as well as Jeep Grand Cherokee of course. You can't really improve on it if you want a car-based crossover.
Just make sure that the person who sits in the third row, either does not mind the limited leg room, or is short enough (it did not bother my 5' 2" wife) that it is not an issue.
Good luck!
