Description

Built on the same platform as the Dodge Avenger sedan, the Journey focuses on growing families not ready to succumb to minivan life. But the Journey comes with many minivan features -- including an optional third row, a comfortable space for kids, which folds flat when not in use. Anyone who has had to lift up a child and strap them into safety seat will appreciate the second-row doors that open out 90 degrees. This gives you that little bit of extra space needed to properly hog tie down even the most wiggly child. Older kids will have no problem pulling one handle and moving the second-row seats out of the way to hop into the third row. Known as Tilt 'n Slide, the feature slides the seat cushion up and the entire seat forward, providing enough pass-through space for even me. Because the Journey is built on a car platform, it rides lower than an SUV so even little legs can step into it The standard features are impressive as well: Four 12-volt power sources, as well as the 110-volt outlet, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, illuminated cup holders and lots of safety features. Also standard are front, side airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as side curtain airbags for all rows, electronic stability control with roll-over mitigation, traction control, trailer-sway dampening and tire pressure monitoring. That's refreshing
