  What a gas - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By Mark - December 18 - 1:16 pm

  Just bought an SXT 2wd. I had to have the Orange one. It gets a lot of looks already. It is very comfortable and easy to get in and out of. I am a large person and this thing really fits. I was kind of surprised that it didnt have cruise on the base model. I dont use it a lot but would have been nice. The back does hold the biggest goalie bag they have, which was a requirement of the household. Remember this is a rear wheel drive vehicle, so it dosent drive like your FWD car your replacing. Fun, fun, fun to drive. It handles just as well as the Intrepid I replaced. Cant wait to get some more miles under the belt.

  The Dodge Nitro is good for Teens too - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By bill - November 8 - 8:16 am

  Im an 18 year old guy and got this for my birthday and I love this car. Its cool looking, smooth driving, nice for passengers, and my girlfriends all love it, oh and its fast and fun in the snow especially since i got the fourwheel drive model. I love them. I only think they should change the seat panel on the driver and passenger seat. Im six, four, three hundred pounds and I get caught on that plastic piece. Other than that its great!

  2007 Nitro SXT 4wd - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By tony - September 11 - 4:03 pm

  Use the car for work up and down the south shore of long island, so far so good. In and out of the car twelve times a day, so far no problems to report. Handles well, once you get up to highway speed vehicle seems quiet and smooth, but I do mostly street driving. Im 61" and 240 lbs and its comfortable to me. With the seat back, there is a ton of leg room for driver seems little less for passenger.

  Nitroliscious - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By Danny - September 6 - 10:06 pm

  I have a little Benz SLK55 AMG and I wanted something to haul stuff around and for use in snow and bad weather. The Nitro looks awesome and has some nice features. I originally wanted an R/T but then I figured that since this was really just my "bad weather" car, why spend the extra money? I didnt need leather or chrome wheels. The 4.0 with an extra 50 horsepower would have been nice, but I will make some mods to the 3.7 to jack it up by a few HP and it will be fine for what I need it to do. Also, rear seat leg room is much better than in other small SUVs.

  A little nervous - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By j. Mac - August 11 - 8:46 pm

  I wrote a review 1 1/2 months after buying my Nitro, about how happy I was with it. Since then, I have had two experiences of my Nitro "jerking", and had the dashboard lights come on. The first time it happened, I actually thought someone had hit me from behind. Thats how hard the "jolt" was. I then got the recall later for this. I havent had any episodes since then. I still love my Nitro and wouldnt trade it in for anything else.

  Nitro, a bust? - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By Wahoo! - June 4 - 8:43 am

  Dodge can dress a vehicle up and give it some curb appeal but it ends there. Nitro underperforms for me. Quirky and cute looks on the outside are a plus. Interior is horrible. Stiff and uncomfortable seats, tight width spacing, odd foot room on both front driver and passenger. Overall ride fair, very stiff and bumpy. Handles very well in snow, but odd jerky-ness when in 4wd and moving thru parking lots (low speeds, 0-15). Heating system lacks power badly and direction. Lack of freeway power to pass, lags before speed engages. Overall not the vehicle I expected. Not recommended.

  Awesome midsize SUV - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By Mike & Rebecca - June 3 - 8:30 am

  The Nitro is aggersively designed for the young and the young at heart. Dodge has taken the best of the other SUVs in the market like Jeep, Hummer, and Land Rrover and made it all Dodge. Its a very fun SUV to drive. Dodge has created a real head turner of a mid size SUV. Dodge has created a perfect SUV with the Nitro.

  Love the R/T 4.0 L 5spd - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By RenoRor - March 27 - 11:40 am

  Ive had my Nitro for net yet a week. So far, I love it. Im getting good gas mileage, 18 city and 23-24 hwy. I love the kick from the 4.0L engine. Great bold styling! I get a lot of comments and questions. Its great! The R/T comes with the bigger tires and nice wheels, a nice extra.

  They should have tested it more first! - 2007 Dodge Nitro
  By nitroglyceride - November 24 - 12:03 am

  No one can say that the Nitro isnt sharp as can be in the looks department. It is quite the head turner, but as another wrote.. thats where the good ends. I have had several new cars over the years, yet none in the model releases first year. The 2007 Nitro is a prime example of why homework is important. They have many issues with this vehicle that they cant or wont address. It rides very roughly, the transmission feels like its constantly searching for whatever gear its in, the headliner squeaks against the underside of the roof, it has electrical issues that cause operations to fail, and it is cramped feeling inside. I traded a PT Cruiser for it, so go figure? Please fix mine..
