I bought a Journey SXT with the 3rd row seat a few months ago. Overall, I'm very happy about my purchase. Mine doesn't have the booster seats though so I am of no help there but if you have any other questions about it just ask and I'll tell you what I know. :)

What sold you on the Journey? What other vehicles were you looking at?

We were also looking at Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, Jeep Commander, and Chrysler Pacifica. We had and employee discount code for the Chrysler group so that's why they are all Chrysler vehicles.

What sold us? This was the only car my dh and I BOTH liked. We liked the safety features, overall appearence and it's pretty much loaded! It was a better bang for our buck, I guess you would say, lol. It doesn't have the room of a van but it works for us. :)

Is the Journey similar to the Pacifica? Or not really?

They LOOK similar on the outside - I just wondered how similar they really were.

They look similar on the outside but that's where it stops, lol. The Pacifica looks like a luxury car inside. The Journey is well equipped but just basic *no frills* interior. :twocents:

Cool :)

I've always loved the styling of the Pacifica, but could care less what the inside's like.

And I *REALLY* like the looks of the Journey's built-in boosters. My older two would appreciate them I'm sure!

It seems like the Journey has a lot of "extras" that you can't find in another vehicle at the same price. The only bad thing I have heard about it so far is that the engine doesn't seem adequate. Like it doesn't have much "pickup" or pulling power. What do you think?

Might depend on the model - there's a 4-cyl that I laughed when I saw, but there are 2 bigger V-6 engines too.

I'm going to have to find one to check out :) My friend has a Pacifica that I really like.

Of course, this is a pipe dream because there's no way I'll ever afford a brand-new vehicle, but...I really :love: the looks of them!

I didn't test drive a 4cyl, but my v-6 has plenty of power. I have read that the fuel efficiency isn't much (if any) better in the 4cyl because you have to floor the gas pedal to move!

I love the Journey but its not carseat friendly ...
we tried my seats in it becasue I love the Journey but no go.... the headrests aren't removable and only adjust by folding forward. total no way installing a regent and even the marathong wasn't going in properly so I gave up trying.... love the test drive though!
