Dodge Journey (08-10) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 16 May 2008 Last Updated: 08 December 2008 Dodge is promising families a best-of-all-worlds compromise with the Journey, a 'crossover' estate that blends seating for seven, the interior space and versatility of a people carrier and the fuel efficiency of a hatchback. The list price is lower than similar cars like the Ford S-MAX and Renault Grand Scenic plus the Journey is better equipped. Typical Dodge 'attitude' styling gives the car a bold appearance and the interior is practical and family-friendly. Unfortunately quality and refinement are lacking while the ride is spongy, taking the edge off comfort. 3 out of 5 Other Dodge reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 3 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £17,344 - £24,595 Used price range: £6,172 - £15,862 View all used prices Get a Dodge Journey (08-10) information pack Next steps Dodge Journey cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
