  Just like a 7 year married couple - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By niTroSSo - June 23 - 7:40 pm

  Just like a marriage after 7 years, it was love at first sight, she was beautiful, had a great body, gave your a rush when you came close to her, but she became fat and heavy and wasted all your dough and didnt do it for you anymore. Poor handling (sways side to side when going over small bumps), poorer gas mileage, interior has too much plastic. I. E. doors, dash, center console. Large blind spots invest in blind spot mirrors. Everything got a strange little delay to it, from honking the horn to acceleration/braking. Brake light burn out often. After two months the window switches stopped working. No power on flat out acceleration (dont try to jump in on the highway if you dont have room.

  It stinks - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By tom - June 17 - 3:03 am

  Well first of all the sunroof leaks. The right side back glass leaks. The luggage rack is coming apart. It shakes real bad when idling at a stop. Sunroof was fixed but still leaking. Does not pull for crap. Im gonna get rid of it as soon as possible.

  Great Vechile Would Recommend - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By jdoggntiro - June 11 - 3:39 pm

  If you are looking for a great lower priced SUV, this is it. If you havent noticed the people that complain about the Nitro have bought the cheaper version. They have three versions the SXT, the lower priced, the SLT the medium priced, and the RT the higher priced. I recommend the SLT, comes with sun roof, uconnect and it doesnt have that ugly plastic. Very clean, love it.

  Average - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By JBARRI - May 19 - 3:46 pm

  Since purchase, Ive had no major problems but a few concerns. The 1-2 shift is harsh when cold, a slight whistle sound from the AC system and the glaring lack of a rear AC vent for a vehicle of this size annoys me. Gas mileage hovers at 21MPG but only when driven like a baby carriage. Everything else is fine and Im impressed considering the price I paid.

  First new SUV. - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By Brad - April 27 - 9:02 am

  I got lucky and got this Nitro for a real deal ( last years model ) I found it to have more than enough power for all uses. Very nice looking handles well and goes great in the deep snow. It seems to be ok off road for the most part gut could use a little more clearance but still good. Love the folding seats, very sweet for visibility when driving alone or storage space. All around happy except it drinks gas like it owns the oil co. And mpg is not true, I get only 14 city miles to the gal. And if you like to be performance man it is a lot worse. Over all well built and a real eye catcher with the bright blue I have with all the chrome.

  Transmission Woes - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By Sara - March 28 - 8:35 pm

  My Nitro is my first SUV and I mostly love it. I had to take it into the dealer for a leaky transmission twice in the first 3 months I owned it. One of my rear window motors died and had to be replaced about 8 months after I bought it. Overall, a good car, but I worry about its reliability in the long run. Fun to drive, and people comment on the styling.

  So far...........So good!!! - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By Funnsun - March 22 - 10:51 pm

  I purchased my Dodge NITRO R/T-4.0 in July 2007 and so far........so Good!!! I have been stopped at least 5 times in parking lots by people asking me what type of vehicle it is! Lots of compliments and turning heads! So far I have only been to the service department for an oil change!! It would be nice if it had automatic lights but the U-connect feature is awesome!! I love the hands-free cell phone chatting and the navigation system is fantastic!! I would recommend this vehicle to anyone(if they are not concerned with gas mileage).

  Frustrated - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By Tina Brown - February 5 - 7:36 pm

  Bought this vehicle about 10 months ago and have had it in the shop around 7 times already. First was the "recall" for the motor shutting off while you were driving. Had to have the roof rack replaced as there was a bolt missing. On the drivers side dash there was a gap that had to be fixed and now it wont defrost properly. I have troubles with the locks that wont lock when its too cold. There is a horrible whining noise when it starts if it is lower than -15 outside. The engine rides rough. My new problem is that the key got stuck in the ignition and wont come out. I like the look of this vehicle but the whole performance issue is another thing.

  Slap in the Face - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By Das Kootz - October 7 - 2:56 am

  Its appearance is what drew me to it. However,I dont think they put a lot of thought into the interior design, no creativity, no toys really,doesnt reflect the exterior image at all. I opted for the 6 CD/DVD player, expecting a screen to accompany it.It didnt.Not that I dont like listening to movie. Its just not the same without the visual. No response yet from them on whether or not there is any video output. If not,why offer it? Exterior? The tires look wrong (I opted for the 17")they should be bigger/wider. They are cookie cutters. The luggage rack shakes at around 95 km or in wind. For me the only saving grace lies in the aftermarket.
