We just returned from an 1800 mile trip in our new Journey. We bought the car on the 16th of June, and on the 18th of June headed from the Dallas - Fort Worth area to the mountains of north east Georgia.
The Journey is pretty much a basic car, four cylinder with the four speed transmission. As with any car there is the few anxious moments of hitting the road, but I have to say we loved it! From the plains of Texas, through the delta of Louisiana, and the hills and mountains of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia the car performed flawlessly! I had no trouble keeping up with traffic in the metro areas, and on the interstates. I have figured our gas at about an average of 23 mpg.
All in all ..a great car with no issues yet......
