BarrettsMama Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi all, New to the Dodge family and new to this forum. We chose the 2013 R/T in Winter Chill. She's pretty! Fully loaded. We're coming from a 2005 Ford Freestyle that we loved. When we were car shopping, we looked at everything from the Terrain/Equinox/Escape/Venza/Santa Fe to the Traverse/Acadia/Flex/Edge. We originally thought we would go smaller than the Freestyle but when we started driving, we found we wanted the third row seat, but didn't want to go as big as the Traverse/Acadia, or spend as much as the Flex etc. When we got into the Journey, well, she wrapped her leather heated arms around us and we were sold. The biggest things on our wish list were the AWD and DVD that we were accustomed to in the Freestyle. We got so much more than that! We're getting it undercoated because we live in Saskatchewan so salt is an issue and fabric-protected because we have two small kids that are perpetually messy. Looking forward to exploring this forum further... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohazard Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 congrats !!! we too will be taking possession of a 2013 RT Journey in about a week or so. We currently own a 2010 SxT Journey and LOVE IT so we knew trading intoa newer one was the right choice for the value. They are amazing vehicles for what you pay for.

brian sullivan Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hope your car serves you well!! I have a 2012 white SXT that I purchased in Oct. So far so good for us and it really drives nice too. Smooth handling and strong pulling with the 3.6 V6. Good luck with it and enjoy!!

Windancer Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) We're getting it undercoated because we live in Saskatchewan so salt is an issue and fabric-protected because we have two small kids that are perpetually messy. Not sure where you live :cold: but, I have lived in Regina all my life, and Saskatchewan doesn't use very much salt on it's roads (due to the fact our winters are cold and the temp. rarely goes over 0°C throughout the winter) when compared to even Calgary where I also lived for a couple of years. If you want to see salt being used, go to Montreal (where my brother lives). They use 2x in a day than what we use all winter. I wasn't saying you're wrong, just curious that's all.
