Overview & Reviews
A retuned suspension and revised brakes are some of the major changes for the 2009 Dodge Nitro. The six-speed manual transmission has been dropped, and all trims now come standard with an automatic transmission (a four-speed for SE and SLT trims; a five-speed for R/T models).
- Over-the-top style, flexible cabin design, quiet highway ride.
- Mediocre gas mileage, slow steering lacks feedback, a few chintzy interior materials.

First 3 months OCT - DEC 09 - 2009 Dodge Nitro
By SilentWarrior - December 10 - 8:29 amB+ Sweet SUV! Love it! High ride. Not sluggish as others have said, when cornering the computer protects vehicle from over acceleration. Can override w/EVP off. I DONT RECOMMEND THIS! Runs fast off line for 4000 lbs V6. R/T has even better performance. Best mileage w/ cruise control (highway 27 mpg). Rear seats nice & roomy, however exiting vehicle is awkward, especially for children < 10 (due to height of vehicle and far forward short floor). Front leg room is a little narrow. Has interior wind buffeting if only rear window down. Warms up quickly for heat/defrost (~10 min. at 10F). Cat Back exhaust makes vehicle growl. Turn off 4WD before tight turns like parking in mall.
