ON260

Well I've now driven my Journey for 5 days and am generally satisfied with the vehicle. Highlights include the exterior styling, auto headlights, rear air, satellite radio and storage. Negatives - the seats are not as comfortable as the Pacifica and the instrument cluster styling is much less attractive (reminds me of a K-car from the 1980s). I'm still ticked off that I couldn't get the AWD model I ordered, but will grow to accept this in due course. Also, I don't have the trailering option so does anyone have thoughts on pulling the rated 3500 lbs without the oil cooler? I'm looking at installing the hitch shortly so any comments will be appreciated. ON260

Congrats on finding what you were looking for! My dealer did a search and there was one AWD R/T with my colour (silver steel) in all of Ontario. It had more options than I wanted though. It's not worth the trouble to import a vehicle from the US due to quirky Cdn. laws like daytime running lights. Also, Chrysler Canada doesn't honour the warranty and the prices are close enough to make importing unattractive (to me anyway). ON260

Thanks H-B-T. You're kidding - almost 3 months?? I'd be shopping for a different vehicle. It's strange that the 3rd seat is an issue with the AWDs when there's no shortage of same in FWD models. Anyway, I'm looking forward to mine and will post my comments after I drive it home. ON260

I ordered an AWD R/T on April 23 through my dealer in London ON - expected delivery date was early June. He was unable to get even a confirmation on when it would be built let alone a delivery date so I accepted essentially the same vehicle in FWD today. I'm disappointed that I won't get the vehicle I ordered but couldn't wait any longer as my miled-out Pacifica will need tires and maintenance by month's end if I keep it. Does anyone know why the AWD R/Ts are taking so long to deliver? Any explanation will be appreciated. Thanks ON260
