Nothing but a lemon. One of the worst vehicles I have ever had. Nothing but break downs. From one end to the other. Steering pump hoses blow every winter. A complete piece of expensive junk

The shape appeals to a different kind of crowd. It is an overall fun car to own. It has adequate power as well. Very safe car, would defiantly put a family in it. With side curtain airbags standard, you can't ask for more.

Theres only one thing I didnt like about that year of nitro that is it doesnt have cruise control

The Nitro has been very reliable with decent gas mileage. I have enjoyed driving it and like the looks. With the back seats folded down, it has plenty of hauling space. Seats are comfortable for all but very long trips.

The Dodge Nitro Slt with 3.5l and 4wd is a perfect vehicle for my wife. She is a small business owner and is picking up supplies daily for her business. The Nitro has a slide out "platform" in the rear that makes it so she doesn't have to bend over and lift supplies out. The 4wd is great in the snow so I don't have to worry about her getting stuck or not being able to make it to her place of business on bad winter days in Michigan. On the down side it rides like a sports car. Not that it's bad , just a stiff ride. Luckily the seats are comfortable which makes long trips in this vehicle very tolerable. Also I'm not impressed with the fuel to mileage ratio, but the vehicle can get out of it's own way and I will sacrifice gas money for power anyday. The Nitro is a great looking vehicle at a very reasonable price.
