I was travelling on the M1 towards Milton Keynes and saw a Blue Dodge XT and had a big cheery wave from the driver and his daughter, we followed each other for about 12 miles, was it any of you guys?

Hi RT owner,great to see another owner to the fore, I chose the black one because as i understand it the others colours are not as quick, something to do with polymers in the black paint that make it more aerodynamic :D let us know when it arrives. Tipronic and mydodgejourney, i don't think that Dodge have a clue at the moment, when i popped into the Chrysler garage, they were saying they couldn't get hold of cars, the 300c apparently was slowing to make room for the new model, the Patriot, was not available because they had used their quota of desil engines from Volkswagen, they were worried that they wouldn't have enough cars to sell, but interesting comment about re badging the Journey with a Chrysler badge, kinda makes sense....or they could stick a Fiat badge on it! just have to wait and see.

Hi Mydodgejourney, really enjoying the car, thats why i've not responded so soon, been away, and covered 400 miles this weekend, so really got to grips with it, i'm still waiting for a hand book to come through from the crysler garage, i know i can down load it from the web if i get into any difficulties. At the moment there is nothing that i don't like ,so touch wood all is good, what i have learn't is not to take road reports too seriously, and like my last car the Jeep Patriot, they don't fair too well, and what i really love, is they are not like the common euro box that everyone else drives, and i also love the looks you get when folk are trying to work out what the hell it is i'm driving. I was also told that there might be a rebranding exercise, bit like the Chevvy and Dawoo senario, I guess we have to watch this space. A dodge Journey meet sounds good , BBQ in the summer, as per my name i could doo the cooking:-) regards and happy motoring

Hi Tiptronic,, i picked up the Journey which is a Manual, and i've just loaded 700 tunes on the hard drive, which is great, and the sound system is spot on, i love the fact the tank is bigger and that it's higher up that the Riot, also it's seems a bit more refined and quieter, although i had enjoyed having the 4x4, but hopefully won't miss it too much. catch you later.

Hi Tipronic, i believe you were on the patriot forums, and yes i understand that Dodge are pulling out, but i have a good deal with all the bells and whistles so hopefully it will be a good car, the issue with the patriot was it was a bit unrefined and too small for us, and i wanted a car with big enough boot for small camping trips without having to put the roof box on and this seems to fit the bill, i will let you know how i get on. Cheers Cheffy

Hi all, i have just traded my Jeep Patriot for a black Journey SXT, i took it out for a test drive and really loved it, i had no intention of buying on, but the offer was too good to turn down and it included the GPS satnav pack, so it's fully loaded, and i pick it up on Monday, so i,ll let you know how i get on :-)
