btrcp2000 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hello all- Two days ago we picked up our first Dodge/Chrysler since a 1998 Avenger. I did an exhaustive search based on 3rd row, MPG, and well under $30k, including calls to the US DOT about importing a Canadian Chevy Orlando, which holds 7 psgrs and gets real life 34mpg (40 rated), but is not street legal in the US. I had hoped to make a bigger MPG leap, but very happy with the Journey otherwise. I am coming from a 2005 Pontiac Aztek, which I am still weirdly fond of. 21mpg, decent cargo hauler, and dirt cheap off the lot in late 2006 because nobody else liked them. Two row seating can no longer contain the family though, so it will be moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on your new Crew! We got our 2013 SXT in December and I'm still in awe. I have the five seater. Although I have basically the same options as the Crew I opted for the SXT because I wanted to stay away from the 19 inch tires. Mine is Copper Pearl Coat. I hope you enjoy yours as much a we enjoy ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey13_SXT Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Welcome, I am also new to the forum. Purchased the 2013 SXT with the third row as well... Family is growing! I find myself still after 3 months sitting in the car messing with features. Just put up an overhead DVD player and so far the kids love it!

I'll have to wait for a few weeks before I can sit in mine to mess with the features. It's still a little too cold here yet LOL. We got the Copper Pearl Coat. What color is yours?
