Its funny about the way people think of things differently , we also drove everything else , Hyundai,Edge, Gm whatever, Mazda. But if you look at what you are getting compared to the price of everything else , some of the others were close to 10 grand more .And to me the Journey is alot better looking vehicle then the rest for sure .And as far as handling well she is going to work , not to a road coarse lol
