Mr. Jones Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 The Journey is a better vehicle...much better than a Nitro. Must be like just aids as apposed to aids and ebola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Jason, what exactly are you looking for? If you want a utility vehicle that hauls people and goods well, you just can't beat a minivan. Tons of space, tons of people, comfy, reliable, and proven. No SUV can touch a minivan in the functionality box. They do "look" better though I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 The Journey is a better vehicle...much better than a Nitro. I will echo this and I have driven both for lots of test miles. The Journey got better in 2011+ but the Nitro stayed the same. Actually, the 2011+ Models withe the 3.6L are pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your wife is going to be hauling cakes, kids, cakes+kids at the same time, cakes+workers at the same time, just get a minivan. In fact, get a cheaper Chrysler T&C, and use the money saved to do a vinyl wrap on it. Advertising and transportation??? tax-deductible business expense writeoff!!!

zeitgeist57 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Minivan FTW. WHAAAAT??? Who is this smart guy posting earlier in this thread? My wife wanted a Ford Flex in a bad way, and I loved the Ecoboost idea. Awesome ride. Still love it to this day. The problem is nothing touches a minivan for all around versatility. It just does everything really well (cargo hauling, people hauling, fuel economy, comfort, towing, ease of driveabilty, cost of maintenance) in one vehicular solution. I took a tandem jogging-stroller to the New Albany Classic last weekend. I was pressed for time, and I couldn't figure out how to fold it down. FUGGIT, I said, and threw it in the back of our Odyssey...bish swallowed it whole and I still had room for a few kids from church. You can't do that in a CUV!

wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 We have had a minivan or fullsize van for nearly 17 years and its time to move on. Ideally I would be buying a 2007+ tahoe or yukon but we all know Jason is going broke thanks to the good ole govt. Now I am looking for a decent looking suv thats around $10k range and not 15 years old. As always I search craigslist several times a day and when I see something that looks like a good deal I want to know what they are like. I have seen 2007+nitros in the price range I am looking and recently a 2009 journey as well. Both are somewhat newer and fit the price bill, a combo that is hard to find.
