I haven't driven any of the 2012 or older R/T's but the suspension in the 2013 that i bought my wife was one of things that really attracted me to these vehicles. I drive a Civic Si 4dr and the handling is honestly comparable, just that Journey is larger and heavier (obviously LOL). Even with stock tires, it 'sticks' rather well in the corners. just my .02
