Dodge Journey

I rented a new 2012 for a vacation out west 3 yrs ago. I had it for over a week. The 3.6 Pentastar engine was on Ward's 10 best engines for a few years and it was really nice. Plenty of power with the 6 speed automatic. We took it up to 110 one time and it had a lot left. The mileage indicator said we averaged about 30 MPG with 3 guys and camping gear. I liked the Sirius and in-dash graphics package.

I agree that these car testers must be splitting hairs. I may end up looking for a slightly used one.
