Thanks for your reply dp360! I have purchased the Dodge Journey today and it will be delivered next week. I hope to provide some feedback on its performance in the not too distant future.

Would it be rude to ask you what the "pretty good price" was? I am currently negotiating with a dealer but I think they're asking too much for an SXT 2.7 Petrol ($40,000). I think they could knock a few dollars off but they seem unwilling... They reckon it's already discounted... yeah, right... I should have brought a violin along to play a tune while they were giving me this sad story about how others overprice their cars and then knock a bit off the price, but they're not like the others... they just give us a fair price and any accessories are extras... I'm expected to pay $40,000 plus about $3,000 for some extras... Especially with the strong aussie dollar I think they're making better profits then some months ago...

Hello all, I am about to purchase a Dodge Journey in Sydney, Australia. I love everything about the car, but after reading reviews on the internet I am now totally confused and am starting to think that I could be making a huge mistake... Do I have reason to be worried? Should I be expecting any problems with a new Dodge soon? Is there an anti-Dodge movement in USA? Here in Aussie-land there's a Ford vs Holden rivalry. Ask a Ford-fan what he thinks of Holden and vice versa and all you hear is bad things about the other brand. Is it like that with Dodge and other car makers in the USA? Should I take the bad Dodge reviews with a grain of salt? Any comments much appreciated, especially from people who've owned a Dodge for a long time!
