andrewamberleigh Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 On Friday i traded my wifes 2007 tahoe in on a 2012 Journey SXT. It has the 3rd row, and we are very happy with it. I would say that I will most likely never own another Tahoe, or anything similar to that. we changed the oil every 3-4k miles with mobil1 and changed the transmission fluid and did filter changes regularly as well. But within the last 12k miles the tahoe began burning a ton of oil. Roughly 2 quarts every 3k miles. This is horrible because it only had 88k miles on it of being pampered. never towed anything, or drove it hard at all. The last couple of issues that took me over the edge were the front speakers all stopped working, and the windshield started leaking heavily when driving you would get rained on. None of that was worth the 14-16mpg that we got. I am incredibly happy with the journey so far. My wife loves it, and it seems better built than the tahoe was.

Rubberdude88 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Congratulations. The journey is a very nice car. Good luck with it. Same here... 2012 SXT but in Red Tri-coat Pearl. Congratulations and oh by the way, we refer to ours as a "Truck" - not a car :-) Loving it. Just 2 months in and first oil change to full synthetic completed (4210KM's). Enjoy.

pcrmike Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 My wife bestie has a Tahoe. Her opinion our Journey is a lot better too. IMHO, the 12 is WAY better than the 09 or 10 for quality. It is almost like someone cares now. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
