I just picked up a 2013 SE as well, but with the third row option. I need it with 2 full time kiddos and a third kiddo every other weekend. I think the 4-cylinder is fine for a casual driver and cruising on the highway. Congrats on the new ride! I was in the same boat as you between a used SXT V6 or new SE and the piece of mind was worth it to me to opt for the new vehicle with full warranty.

Good write up and review. I have a 2013 SE (Copper) as well and for scooting around town or cruising on the highway the 2.4 does just fine just as you said. I hope the reliability is up to par because I really enjoy all of the nice little touches on this vehicle. The third row seating is awesome for hauling the little ones around as well. It's not fast like my old Dodge Magnum I had a few years back, but it is a much better build quality...especially in the interior. I had considered a Journey back in 2009 when I got rid of the Magnum, but the interior just didn't cut it then so I went with a foreign mini-van instead (wife was pregnant and needed a third row). I am so glad I gave the Journey a second look after the refreshed design. The cruise did take a little getting used to for me as well. Drew

Copper Pearl Coat here.

Hello everyone, name is Drew and I just picked up a 2013 Dodge Journey SE in Copper Pearl Coat with the 3rd row seating and 17" wheel upgrade. Been looking forever for a nice CUV with the third row seats that didn't break the bank. The Journey seemed to be the perfect vehicle so I traded in my mini-van today and got a pretty fair deal on the colors and options I wanted. Looking forward to talking with you guys on here and hopefully sharing how awesome and reliable my Journey is.
