Which of these 3 cars is the best? and why?

[Brittany]

I am looking to get a new family car soon. It has to seat at least 6 people. Here are the 3 choices I found to be in my price range.
~ Dodge Journey with 3rd row
~Kia Rondo with 3rd row
~Mazda Mazda5 with 3rd row

I need to know which one would be best overall for my family. I have kids from newborn-8years old.

The Rondo is too narrow and is built on an economy car platform.

The Mazda5 is built on a Mazda 3 platform and is too light for the number of passengers it can carry.

The Journey is built on the larger Mitsubishi Gallant platform and would be a much more stable car when fully loaded.

Not a big fan of Chrysler vehicles, but of the three cars I would take the Journey just for the larger brakes.

I haven't heard a single good think about any of the newer Chysler cars. They've been having serious build quality issues since Daimler sold the company, and the Journey probably won't last long compared to other cars.

For the Kia, Korean brands in general just simply can't hold their own over time. Kias are notorious for having head-gasket issues, and a friend of mine had to replace the transmission on his Rio after only 5 years. They're newer cars may or may not have fixed these issues, but I feel it's a big risk to be taking if you plan on having this car for a long time.

Your best option out of that list is the Mazda. They've been building very good cars recently, and the 5 should give you no problems. If you need a car to last, get the Mazda.

**If you can find one in your price range, I recommend checking out an older Honda Pilot. They have enough seating room for you, and Hondas are some of the most reliable cars on the road. I have two Hondas at the moment, my Civic has 200k on it and I've never had a major problem.
