My trusty Mazda3's lease came to an end and I was looking for something a little bigger for the family.... the Mazda5 was a little too small and the Caravan was a little too big. The Journey was the perfect fit. Picked it up a week ago and so far I'm very pleased with it. The only complaint I had was the awful Hankook tires that came with the SE model. I had them replaced with Nokian WRG2 All Weathers....... they are perfect for the road conditions here in Vancouver. The Journey handles and drives a lot better with the Nokians.
My little girl loves the Journey and already have her favorite toys in the floor storage, I can see a lot of road trips in the near future...
