rakden Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 After much trepidation I am the owner of a 2013 V6 Journey SXT AWD. My wife and I thought long and hard about what to get for our soon to be family of four. We wanted 7 passenger seating as somehow our 4 year old son already has friends we are hauling to and fro and with a second child on the way our Focus would no longer be able to meet our needs. We looked long and hard at vehicles like the Crosstrek, Flex, Outlander, Journey, etc... To be honest I was pretty sold on an Outlander but we are in semi rural Iowa and the closest Mitsubishi dealer is over 60 miles away. This gave me some hesitation which my usual mechanic confirmed as far as repair should the need arise. After somewhat setting the Outlander aside the Journey really did grow on me, especially the storage options, and when a 2013 in the color, trim, and powertrain we had been considering in a new Journey showed up at the local dealer and took a test drive on Saturday, we bit the bullet, signed the papers, and picked it up yesterday. I had heard some horror stories about the Journey but those seemed mostly focused on pre 2011 models. Here's hoping to a long and fruitful partnership between me and ol Coppertone.
