Do you like your car? NTTCALR

I'm afraid I'll have to get a new vehicle sooner than later. I drive a Dodge Journey that we bought brand new (because we wanted something safe since we were so sure we were about to start a family. Boo.) It's been acting up lately with just random stuff but we have another year before it's paid off. It currently has 96,000 miles & I put every single one of them on it. I know the trade in value goes down tremendously after cars hit 100,000 miles.
Anyway, do you like what you drive? I really like my Journey & the size of it but I'm not sure if I want to get another one or something else. I have the third row & whatever I get I want it again. I hate making decisions like this. It's really DH wanting something else but I will be the one driving it so I want to be sure I'll like whatever we get. If it was up to me I would just get the little problems fixed in my car & go with it but oh well.

My first car was a 1999 Corolla. I loved that car & drove it until I got my Journey. If it wasn't so much smaller I would get another one in a heartbeat.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:6-7
All PgAL and PAL welcome.
The outback frame sits a little higher, and feels like a cross-over. I was also very impressed with the additional safety features... Especially the side-impact.

Also, there's a ton of people and cargo room.
Bonus: Max and all the rescues that it has transported around love it too. The proof is in the nose prints that have consumed the rear windows
It was bought in a fit of optimism in December so I totally get where you were at when you got your Dodge. I probably should have went with the much less roomy Fiat or back to a New Beetle but I still like the car and the back is much more comfortable for transporting Jasper around.
The day the Bump died - Jasper is wise

I love the Highlanders. I have wanted one ever since I was in high school & worked at a flower shop. The delivery van broke down so I had to drive the owners Highlander around.

@jenkellen: Thanks for the info! I really don't want to get rid of my car, it's mainly DH. It's been doing little random stuff here lately (the other day it just wouldn't start, like nothing was connecting. Then all of a sudden it decided to start. Weird.) I prefer to keep cars until I absolutely have to get something new. The only thing that bothers me is that we still have another year until we pay off this car & I'm afraid we will be upside down on it.
Hopefully, I can convince DH to just keep this car until it falls apart but if not I want to know what I'm getting into before we buy something else.

However, after years of expensive repairs it's finally done for and I will be looking for a new car very soon given that this car needs over $1000 worth of repairs. Boo.
I've hated this car for sucking all the money out of my account throughout my young adulthood, but I hate the idea of getting a new one. Too complicated. Want my dads help looking for one (BF and I know little about what we're doing) but I know he'll take over.
Maybe big brother will help!
