Hi
I'm from Kent in England. Currently own 2 PT Cruisers and looking for something a little bigger as my family is growing plus I want something that can tow a heavier payload.
The Journey is not available here yet, but should be in showrooms August for September delivery.
Luckilly as I'm a good customer at my local Chrysler/Dodge dealer last week I got to see a pre-launch model used to familiarise the sales staff.
I was very impressed. Wasn't able to get a drive in it though. I think it must have one of the best designed interiors to come out of the US in a long time. The fit and finish is a much higher quality than that on the Caliber.
We don't get the same options here. Only 7-seater models available in SE, SXT and RT trim levels. The only petrol engine is the 2.4, but we get a 2.0 CRD model. Just as well as petrol(gas) is £1.16 per litre, that is around 9-10 USD per gallon!!! Diesel is £1.28 per litre, but you get better mileage. The CRD engine is a VW unit, so well proven and loads of torque.
I'm looking at a CRD SXT with MyGig option. Not sure on colour - either Inferno Red or the dark silver (can't remember its name).
Hopefully I'll be a regular here if it all comes together (and I get a good deal!!).
Chris
