Pros: Exterior styling, roominess, low price Cons: Ergonomics, cheap interior, handling, ride quality The Bottom Line: Disappointing in many different ways. Unless you're totally in love with the styling, buy something else.
Every since I first saw photos of the Nitro, I've understood what Dodge's new compact SUV is about: a Hummer for the masses. The starting price of just under twenty large is two-thirds that of the least expensive Hummer, the H3. So I've been predicting ...

Pros: Looks, not horrible mileage for an SUV Cons: Cramped Feel to Driver position The Bottom Line: If you want to stand out from the crowd, the Nitro is worth considering. Shy away from it if you have a family or like long road trips.
This review will focus on a four day rental period where I put over 1300 miles on a 2007 Dodge Nitro. I transported family and friends and got lots of feedback. I also ran into some nasty rain and traveled some twisting back roads. I won't focus on much ...

Pros: 4.0 ltr engine Load and Go UConnect Leather Heated Seats Cons: POOR GAS MILEAGE The Bottom Line: If you have a spare 20K laying around, go buy this SUV. I have never been looked at so much while on the road!! WOW!!
Pros: Aesthetically, this mid size SUV out rivals all others in its class. I have received so many double takes from on lookers, I can't even count and my husband and I have only had it 3 weeks. It's stylish and bold. We put chrome tubular side rails ...

Pros: Off-road capability in an almost family friendly package. Storage space. Great city driver. Cons: Inexpensive fit-n-finish. Vague steering. Not good on long trips. The Bottom Line: A mixed bag: 4x4 lovers, rejoice! Your SUV has come in! For urbanites, best to look elsewhere.
It was a choice between this and a Hyundai Sonata at the airport Thrifty. I had never driven the Nitro, but was intrigued, so I took the plunge. First impressions getting in were positive. Dash console, though a bit shallow, was well placed and had ...

Pros: Very Cool looks
Value pricing, Lots of stuff in entry model Cons: limited inventory now
ease of entry and exit for the un flexable
The Bottom Line: If you are what you drive; and most of us are; check this our for yourself. Don't listen to only our opinion
Just spent a good long time in a Dodge Nitro. Found it to be a very nice vehicle overall. Talked to my dealer about the entry and exit problem and he thought the roof design may have to do with the new roof rollover requirments coming out soon and this ...

Pros: Great grill and stylish front end, Easy to drive, Cool windows Cons: Seat sits up too high, Small, Cheap materials The Bottom Line: I feel that the Nitro is cheaply made and I wouldn't recommend it. Even though it is priced lower than other SUVs, it is still not a good bargain.
I am leasing this vehicle. I do get a lot of stares when I drive by people(men mostly). I love the exterior styling especially the front end with the tough grill. I don't like the back end. It seems very boring to me. It handles very well. Easy to buzz ...

Nice ride
by watchsmith

Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Styling, ride quality is nice on the highway, interior is simple and clean looking. Cons: Sloppy cornering, braking a bit spongy, brake pedal position uncomfortable (too center)
Purchased the SLT 4x4 model and am quite pleased. I first test drove one in 2007 and wasnt stunned by it, but after extensive shopping I took another look and it became the sensable choice. The interior is spacious, heated seats are toasty, and controls feel well made. I think its a great value for the money and blows away the 5cyl in the Hummer H3 on performance. Overall, its a solid midsize SUV.

Sweet

Recommended: Yes
Pros: Spacious, Stylish, Fast, Perfect Cons: None
I love my Black RT. I bought this truck because of the way it looks. There is nothing I do not enjoy about this truck. Very comfortable-front and rear seats, very spacious, and I am a big guy. The stereo sounds so good in it. The ac works very well in it also. It better though, I live in Florida. The truck, in my opinion is beautiful and riding on those 20's, my it is sweet. The 4.0 liter-260hp V-6 will scoot.

TOTALLY DISAPPOINTING

Recommended: No
Pros: The body style and interior room. That's it! Cons: Ride,gas,paint,A/c,mechanical problems,stalls,window sensors, interior molding comes loose
I bought my Nitro Jan of 2007 after seeing this great looking car at a fair. Boy am I sorry. In this past year I have learned quite a bit I wish i had known earlier. It has an awful ride. It is not even close to the gas mileage they stated. I have had to bring it back for a recall, to have the window sensors replaced, to have the A/C fixed, to have interior molding put back into place, and now the icing on the cake it is rusting all over the car. Literally the front, sides and rear is covered in rust spots. To say that I am so sorry to have a bought this dodge, my first dodge by the way, is a huge understatement.

Hot new SUV

Recommended: Yes
Pros: Technology Cons: Slight engine noise
I just bought one of these in January and I love it. It is very spacious and has a lot of good technology. If you like hands free for your mobile device, a full size outlet in the front and back, odor and stain resistant seats, and electronic stability than this is your vehicle. There are many additions that make this an exceptional vehicle. The safety devices are also top of the line. They come with side curtain air bags as well as the driver and passenger front air bags. The only downside to this vehicle is the engine noise is a little loud, but it is not overbearing. I will buy another one in the future.

Pros: The style, roominess, steering, tires, I could go on and on. Cons: Gas mileage (it's worth it!)
I absolutely love this vehicle! I love the look of it (Khaki only) and the feel. I love the way it drives - the steering is tight, the tires are great! It feels like luxury. I leased it and am definitely considering purchasing it when the lease is up. Definitely proud to be driving this vehicle.
