  • Dissapointed in Nebraska - 2007 Dodge Nitro
    By -

    I have had this vehicle a week short of 2 months and have 3000 miles on it. So far I have had several problems with this car. The first problem was that I was driving down the street and the car just quit. Dash startup system lights came on and it just quit. I took it to the dealer and they couldnt find any "codes" in the car showing it happened. Then a couple of weeks later the electric lock swith plate on the drivers door quit working. I am waiting for them to get one from somewhere. Now just yesterday the car quit running going down the road again. Locks popped up and it just quit. This is very annoying after paying almost 26,000 for this thing.

    I got my Nitro 2 weeks ago yesterday, and have to say its much better than I thought it would be. I get more looks in this truck than people get in more expensive SUVs, and its fun to drive.

  • RT Model Worth The Money - 2007 Dodge Nitro
    By -

    Love my Nitro RT Model. For a few thousand more you get 40 hp and 20 in chrome wheels and other little goodies. Drives and handles smaller than it looks. A sport car SUV? Get more looks than my Corvette. I see a lot of people are concerned with mpg. Reset your computer when driving on the highway. I tried it and was avg 25 mpg 65 mph. Fuel avg really drops when sitting or warming up vechicle. Have reset to 0 after 1st 1k avg 17.6 mpg.

  • New to the Nitro! - 2007 Dodge Nitro

    My driving experience has been fun for the first month. I received a lot of compliments on the style of the truck. I did a lot of research before I decided to lease the Nitro. Ive been told that this truck was built for me. Cant get any better compliments than that. Rides nice and handles bumps very well.

  • Just wish I hadnt bought it! - 2007 Dodge Nitro

    A car ownership nightmare! Ive had the car in the dealership 4 times in 8 months. It misses, hesitates, cant decide what gear it wants to be in....whatever you want to call it. They even replaced the transmission!! Now Chrysler says it cant be fixed & has declared the vehicle a lemon! Its still going to cost a lot of money cause they dont just take it back & give you a new one. You only get trade-in value & I wasnt ready to put out the bucks for a new car. Buyers beware!

  • High Country Nitro - 2007 Dodge Nitro

    Works well in the snow of Big Bear and the sand at Pismo Beach. Very fun to drive, so much fun that we have another on order and are trying very hard to sell my 2004 Toyota Sequoia. The first is an SLT w/auto trans, but mine will be an SXT with the manual trans. Getting all the options added to an SXT 4x4 w/manual is not easy. Good thing I know the general manager at the dealership real well.

  • Gotta Love Your Nitro - 2007 Dodge Nitro

    Bought the Nitro last week and Its really fun to drive. The only real issue I have with the car so far is the gas mileage. Other than that I think I made a good choice. Get lots of looks and compliments. It reminds me of a cross between a Land Rover and an H3.

    We just recently purchased a Dodge Nitro and love it! It has great performance and the car turns some heads with its classy design. The gas mileage is great for an SUV. I drive 50 miles one way to work and back so I need good mileage! I have to say Im very impressed so far with my Nitro and highly recommend it to anyone.

  • Dodge did a Great Job on this SUV! - 2007 Dodge Nitro
    By -

    This vehicle has all the features I needed at reasonable price. It can tow up to 5,000 Lbs; I can switch from 2WDt o 4WD "on the fly"! Has ample storage, roomy seating. Best of all it looks amazing! The other vehicles I tested looked too common. The fuel mileage is 16 MPG but I expect this to improve as the engine breaks in as it has only 1,000 Miles on it.

  • Nitro is Great - 2007 Dodge Nitro
    By -

    Have had to drive in a lot of snow and ice since I received it a week and 1/2 ago. Must say am impressed with Nitros ability to get around. This includes quite a few hills, no problems. Handling and braking are both better than expected. Had a Dakota Laramie and this is as comfortable if not more so. While gas mileage is not great Im sure it will improve with break in. am very satisfied with the Nitro. Did the change tires same day I bought it. Never have liked Goodyears, but then again most OEM tires are not that great.
