A seven-seat crossover that undercut established rivals, the Journey was Dodge's best seller in SA and hung on until the brand's wind-down around 2016. Facelifted 3.6 V6 SXT and R/T models are the ones to look for. Used demand holds up reasonably because cheap seven-seaters are scarce, though parts costs bite.
