Father in law needs a new car and at his wants/needs/price intersection is the V6 Journey/Freemont.

Just after some genuine owner feedback if anyone has any.

    No offense intended, I appreciate the effort but I know cars and I know my market. I’m asking for actual owner feedback.

    Anything here 10 years old and with under 100,000kms in the large softroader category from tier 1 reliability brands starts at $20k and you’re usually talking base models. I know FCA isnt the best thats why a fully loaded v6 with low milage is in his price range. Its biggest competition the “Holden Captiva” is a rebadged Daewoo that actually gets worse reliability ratings than the Journey.

    Just for comparison sake, the cheapest 2nd gen Highlander with under 100,000kms and 7 seats is a 2012 with 22k, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2014 $24k and the Kia Sorrento 2015 $23k. The Journey… $13k.

      I know the price is compelling but you can pay more now for a decent vehicle or pay for frequent repairs on a crappy vehicle while not having use of that vehicle.
