2009 Dodge Journey S

It's bigger than it looks. In overall dimension, it is only slightly shorter than the Ford Explorer, and it's actually longer than such seven-passenger crossover competitors as the Toyota Highlander. The Journey's size translates to plenty of interior cargo room, and comfortable seating for the whole family. , , The Journey's main strength is its well thought out cabin. There are little extras you wouldn't expect - the front passenger seat bottom flips up to reveal a storage bin, storage under the floor in the second row and behind the last row of seats, and a dual glove box with Dodge's Chill Zone that cools soda cans. The SXT trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlamps, heated side mirrors, a trip computer, keyless entry, enhanced interior storage, stain-resistant cloth upholstery, a six-way power driver seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a 115-volt power outlet and satellite radio. And, it offers a fold flat front passenger seat that will allow loading items up to nine feet long! The fuel economy numbers are decent. With the V8, the Journey is EPA-rated at 16/23 mpg city/hwy. , , Dodge wants to keep you and yours safe with features such as advanced multistage front airbags; torso-protecting, seat-mounted front side air bags; head-protecting curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows; a tire-pressure monitor; traction control; electronic stability control with rollover mitigation; ABS with brake assist; and Dodge's trailer sway control. , , For the young family on the go, the Journey will offer a pleasant ride, plenty of room, and enough storage and entertainment options to keep the kids occupied.
