Index of 2010 Dodge Journey Expert Reviews

• thecarconnection—STYLING:The 2010 Dodge Journey draws attention with upright styling, but needs a revamp in its plasticky, awkward interior;PERFORMANCE:Performance is the least competitive aspect of the 2010 Dodge Journey; QUALITY:The 2010 Dodge Journey has ample room and clever storage features, but suffers in execution;SAFETY:Not yet crash-tested, the 2009 Dodge Journey has all the safety gear you’d expect-and then some;FEATURES:No crossover can match the 2010 Dodge Journey’s extensive list of entertainment features-though they can boost the price tremendously.

• Edmunds—” The 2010 Dodge Journey offers minivan conveniences without the minivan stigma and pricing, but it’s not refined or capable enough to earn our recommendation. Pros: Minivan-style interior functionality, perfect crash-test scores, interesting entertainment and communications options, attractive pricing. Cons: Lackluster base four-cylinder engine, subpar interior materials, ergonomic miscues, numb and vague steering, soggy handling, poor reputation for reliability.”
• CarGurus—”The 2010 Dodge Journey gives you more than enough room for family, friends, and all their gear at a generous price. This crossover may have some tame exterior lines, but inside it’s full of unique surprises, the ride is comfortable, and the options are plentiful.”

Buying Tips:
The base 2009 Dodge Journey is the best value in its lineup. At $19,995, it carries plenty of standard equipment, all the safety gear a family needs, and many of the convenience features families want for road trips.
