GriswoldFamilyTruckster Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Hi everybody, My wife (we are expecting our first child in December) has about 300 miles on our Journey. Our hand was forced to get a new vehicle, and it seemed that the Journey fit our needs for safety, price point, and creature comforts. We got what she wanted in other words. Her old Mitsubishi Eclipse had an issue with being a huge pile of crap, and the timing chain decided to take out the entire engine. I feel like we took advantage of the junk yard in getting $750 for it. My impressions thus far are that it rides comfortably on the 19" wheels, and the bells and whistles are neat. It was made in Mexico I think, and has a hint of Daimler-Benz, but takes cues from the Caravan here and there. Casserole tray? :banvictory: I have a 2003 Mach 1 that beats up on those heavy $40,000+ Challengers at the track, and a 1997 Ram 4x4, my automotive needs and wants are different from most. I'm just kind of looking around on the forums, probably won't be too active. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Thanks Swerv, The tech gadgets are overwhelming at times, but I guess I will get used to them. I have taken three pretty short trips in it, so hopefully a road trip in the near future will break it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbird24 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Love the forum Name! LOL! Coming from a LARGE 60's family that lived in Station Wagons in the summer, I find that the Journey is going to be a nice change from Minivans and SUV's. Chrysler does seem to be able to create niche markets for some folks, and I believe this is one of those. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
