Top 10 Cars That Need An Extra Gear (or two)

Dodge Journey (4AT in 4-cylinder models)

The Dodge Journey fights in one of the most competitive segments of the automotive industry: compact crossovers, but with its four-speed automatic, it might as well just watch from the sidelines. Now granted, the four-speed only comes with four-cylinder models, but still, buyers in this segment want a car that is fuel efficient and practical and the Journey is only half-way there thanks to its ancient transmission. Fiat-Chrysler, if you can stick a nine-speed automatic in the Chrysler 200, or Jeep Cherokee, you can save the Journey by putting a modern transmission under the hood.
