Hello to everyone. I just purchased a 2017 Journey GT/ blacktop a week ago and I’m really enjoying the car. I look forward to being an active forum member.

My wife and I just bought a 2017 Journey GT and we love it. CR seems to be biased towards Toyotas and Honda’s, and while those are quality vehicles, your gonna pay a premium for those. Even a two year old Toyota or Honda in the same class cost nearly as much as a new model. And while those are are reliable brands, they still break down and when they do, your gonna pay out the nose to fix it. As far as interior space is concerned, the Journey feels like a much larger vehicle. I’ll agree that the third row is tight, but Let’s be honest, how many grown adults are gonna be sitting back there? I’m sure that the import competitors don’t even have a third row. In the VW Tiguan, the third row is optional and only available on the upper trim levels. Finally, nothing beats that Pentastar v6! I first drove a 3.6 powered vehicle a couple years ago - a ‘17 Grand Cherokee - and man was I impressed. Sure, the Ford Ecoboost has more power, but those are turbocharged and are delicate as glass. My only real gripe is that the Journey only has the Uconnect 3 without navigation or CarPlay. Other than, it’s a great vehicle.
