Durango, Nice Ride
Source: MSN Autos

...There have been 2 recalls. I really did not need the 3rd row seating, however when they stowed I have so much room for hauling items. The heating and ac work very well. The seating is comfortable. I feel for an SUV the price for good tires is not out of sight. Cons: The radio and cd player should have been a better quality. I have sometimes noticed a blind spot and this makes me cautious when having to pass. Overall: I purcased my Durango almost 4 years ago, and would purchase this SUV again. This is a popular SUV where I live. I have used my Durango for all types of travel and have enjoyed...

Review from Northern MI

...Pros: Acceleration, comfortable seats, good sound system, good highway cruiser.
Cons: gas mileage, turning radius, door panel quality, very loud interior when door closes. Overall: Buy used & low miles. Do no buy new...

We love our two Durangos!

...Our 2006 silver Durango Limited has passed 35,000 miles and haven't had a single repair or problem. Very nicely refined, good handling, braking and acceleration. I often take lots of colleagues out to lunch and they love the comfortable leather seats. Plenty of room even in the third row for adults. Cons: Would be nice if it got better gas mileage but in all fairness it seems to get decent gas mileage for the size and weight. It can cruise along at 70mph and get 22 mpg. With gas prices the way they are now, I'd rather see 32mpg, but that's not the vehicle I purchased! Overall: We've had lots...

Dilly the Durango

...Pros: Comfortable and lots of room Cons: Heater core leak
!!! My 99 Durango has 185,000 miles on it. I replaced the core at 100K and just learned it is leaking once again.
I get the foul/pungent Anti-Freeze smell in through the air vents.I alos replaced the rocker arms at 150,000.
Overall: It's been a good car! She is tired, but still running strong! Change the oil to synthetic and change every 5000 miles, and you will get many miles from it...

Decent Ride
Source: MSN Autos

...The exterior is very sleek. Option to buy E85 gas. Cons: No storage! The console is very small. No overhead storge. The glove compartment is small too. When you lay down all the seats way too many holes or spaces that make it an uncomfortable ride for the dogs. I bought the Dodge liner to help cover the spaces..very thin & flimsy. Poor dogs still fell through. I agree with anothers review...too many blind spots. Overall: Nice SUV all around with a few downsides like the storage. I really do like the ride. Its Awesome! The Durango is beautiful and built very sturdy...

The Best

...Controls are well placed and easy to use. I even still have the original tires and they have miles left in them. My 4.7 V8 gets 21 mpg on the highway. Great space for hauling big loads. A great vehicle. I especially like the overhead console which gives me the all limportant outside temperature and compass features. Cons: My only complaint when buying this vehicle was the poor exterior color selection. There are many very attractive colors available in other vehicles, but the Durango's choices seemed a bit drab and unimaginative. Overall: I've said about all I can about my Durango. It's the...

Love My Durango
Source: MSN Autos

...It handles nicely and I love that I sit up high. I can fit my four dogs in the back with no problem, including a great dane along with other things. It is a great car to take on trips and drive around town. I have leather and the heated seats are awesome in the winter and have held up nicely. Cons: There is a blind spot when you are looking behind you where the door casing meets the car. It is hard to see out of the window around this. Overall: I really love my car, am actually looking at newer ones now. I would recommend a Durango to anyone considering one who isn't worried about gas mileage...
