Couldn't agree more. If something already bothers you about it, move on.

I just wanted to see if that was normal? All the ice melt on the roads were hitting the wheel well, making it "echo" inside the car. Maybe thats normal for dodges, I dont know. I was just wondering why it did that.

well if the noise as you stated brothers you i would suggest not buying it. as for me i love my journey, first one 2011 now a 2014 but like the other poster said i live in the south so not much snow,but i try not to be to picky about the little things. but like i said if this bothers you before you have bought, it it will bug the hell out of you later...good luck with what ever you decide on.....

ok

It was snow with ice melt I was driving through. So getting them "coated" will help?

What do the tires look like? Mine is quieter than my Nitro was. The front inner fenders are thin plastic. As soon as I picked mine up, I made an appointment to get it undercoated. But, I was more concerned with protection than noise.

As in tread? they have good tread, and did getting it coated help?

If you "get on it", the torque steer with the V6 will rip your arms off! Maybe the AWD will make it feel different.

Get on it??? and yes its AWD and it drove very nice. However, the road noise is freaking horrible. I am used to peace and quite in my Escape, in this thing, I hear everything that hits under the car as I drive like my window is open. Is this normal?

It has to be the 4cyl.

As mentioned above i would skip it and get an sxt with the 6cyl.

It has the V6, I test drove it.

Ok, they are Asking $18k for it and according to KBB, thats FMR

I am thinking of trading in my 2011 Ford Escape for this 2014 Dodge Journey. What do you guys think? Comments, concerns? Anything would help, thanks!
