love it

jen | Posted: 22/7/2008

i have an 09 journey R/T with the chrome appearance package, leather interior and sunroof. as a mom of 3 kids in carseats, i love this vehicle! it has tons of storage room, it is powerful, and it has next to NO road noise!! the only downside is that we have not been getting the mileage that it said on the sticker...but thats not a big deal. highly recommend this vehicle!
