We just got rid of our 2006 Ford Expedition and got a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee for my hubby. We are now looking at replacing my Ford Escape too. Since we gave up our 3rd row seat in getting the Jeep we thought I should get a car with one (we have a daughter and 3 boys from his previous marriage that are with us over the summer and some holidays). While we don't NEED the thrid row it would be nice so we wouldn't have to take 2 cars everywhere while the boys are with us. We are looking at the Dodge Journey - since he works for the dealer he gets a good deal on it, and it has the 3rd row seat. I overall like the vehicle - but am just not sold on a Dodge quite yet. We have also looked at the Mazda 5 and I like it as well, but the Journey does have quite a bit more room, on the other hand I know that Mazda makes a damn good vehicle....
So does anyone have any opinions on these 2 vehicles. I know there are moms out there with the Mazda5...but is there anyone that can tell me they love their Journey? Don't worry about resale value or payment as we only plan to finance it for 4 years and keep it for awhile after that.
