Isaiah6113 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Greetings DJ owners, Here's my new ride; 2012 Journey Crew in the Storm Grey. My 99 Sable decided enough was enough . . . Hummed and Hawed, thought I’d get another Impala (bought an ’09 in summer 2010). Then two weeks ago had to rent a vehicle; gave me a Dodge Journey. Drove it for three days and loved it! Quite possibly the most comfortable car I’d driven, especially for my . . . uh . . . stature (6'2" and 270lbs). Did some research on the model and trim levels. Some problems reported with front brakes wearing and rear calipers sticking, some tranny performance issues under certain conditions, and the weird 19” rim size complaints. Other than that, people seemed to like it. This forum is a great resource for first time Dodge/Journey buyers. That having been said, a local dealer had a 2012 Crew with 32K on it (in service 8/11), 5-seater, V6, FWD, very clean, not a mark except for one tick on the bonnet. So I got it along with a 7/160 $0 ded. extended warranty. Tons of little storage places, storage under front seat, in second row under the passengers feet, under the cargo space at the back, etc.. NB When buying used always ask for the service records and build sheet, tons of information. Lots of options are standard in the crew as you all know. Some additional options the previous owner had ordered: - Bluetooth/voice activation for phones - Upgraded speakers w/ subwoofer - Engine oil cooler for towing - Cross bars on the roof rack - 4.3S (dealer gave me a Sirius 3-month trial) - Tonneau cover for rear cargo area - 10-way driver’s seat - Other stuff too So lots of fun to drive, I love the feel, little higher up, stiffer ride (compared to my Impala). It’s a crossover as you know, more of a car really with a couple of suv pieces thrown in to make the owner feel tough. Enough babble . . . No pictures, it didn't happen . . . so here are the visuals . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
