Buying the 2016 Dodge Journey
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Dodge Journey for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page puts the 2016 Dodge Journey in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 389 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, power train and electrical system. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The figures, translated
Under the hood: the 2.4L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 33 litres, from its 11.1 L/100 km rating. Every 100 km costs about $17.21 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Good uses for the Journey
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the Journey on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.21 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $172.10 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Make a request
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 Dodge Journey from us first.
