RedeyeJedi Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hello all, new DJ owner here. Have had plenty of Chrysler products in the past including 06 Cherokee, 06 Commander, 08 Dakota, 08 Charger R/T, 10 Avenger and now a 14 Journey Crossroads AWD. The journey replaced the Charger :-( and that was the best car ive ever owned. Super cool car, but it got less cool when the first car seat went in the back, even less cool when the second went in. Also wasnt the best vehicle for these Michigan winters, so hopefully the Journey does better, and im sure it will. I know a fair bit about cars and will contribute where I can unless someones already covered it. One of my good friends is a new car salesman for Chrysler so I can help answer some of the purchasing questions if they arise. A good salesman is gold, its really nice to not have to "shop around".

rolly Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Welcome the forum Redeye. We're practically neighbours, I live just across the Detroit River in Windsor. You new DJ will handle winter just fine. Enjoy! CrossRoad14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolly Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Your DJ will have a lot of company here. I think Windsor is a breeding ground for Journeys lol. RedeyeJedi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinbill Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Welcome to the forum. Like you, we have owned a number of Chrysler vehicles and, like you, we outgrew our Caliber SRT when we started hauling grandchildren around. We've been quite pleased with our DJ R/T so far, and, as rolly, says, it is just fine for winter. RedeyeJedi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedeyeJedi Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I hope so. My charger had a tough time this last winter. I live on a hill and several times I had to leave my Charger at the bottom of the hill in front of the sub and walk home, even though the street was plowed. That little bit of compacted snow wouldn't let me get any traction, and it was so cold that the salt they put down wouldn't melt it. Cant be walking home in the winter with 2 little kids. So far my wife loves the car, she said its very similar to the Grand Cherokee we had in 06, but rides better. I wonder if they built the Journeys off of the old Grand Cherokee platform before the change to the new style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossroadjohn Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Welcome! Another Michigander with a Crossroad here, only I'm a Yooper. I traded our 13 Dart for our Crossroad because of the long winter we had. RedeyeJedi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedeyeJedi Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 He lives in Surrey B.C. now- he moved there from Chatham. That makes sense, I was pretty sure Chatham was in Ontario. BC is awesome, expensive, but awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
