2007 Dodge Nitro - Absolutely loved it!
I loved everything about my vehicle. I would still have it if my husband hadn't totaled it. I loved the way it looked, inside and out. It was an SUV but not too small or too big. I had plenty of space inside of it. The back had plenty of storage space. Going grocery shopping was so easy with this vehicle. I just opened up the back hatch and put everything inside. It had a nice flat area to set everything on so nothing turned over. The vehicle ran well. It had 4-wheel drive and did awesome in the snow, ice and mud. It went anywhere we needed it to go. I owned the my nitro for several years and never had any major problems out of it.
Story
We like to go camping and this SUV makes it super easy to bring along all of the things you may need to camp. It was always nice to lift up the hatch for a place to sit and crank up the music and sit around the camp fire.
Pros
The 4-wheel drive was my favorite thing about my nitro. Now that I have a vehicle that doesn't have that feature, I really miss it and realize how valuable it was. The storage space behind the back seats is another thing I really miss. It was so easy to haul rather large items or even just pick up groceries with the amount of storage that it had.
Cons
The only negative thing I can think of with this vehicle has to do with the plastic on the outside of it. Most of the plastic had faded to a grey color and seemed to come loose easily. That is my only complaint.
2007 Dodge Nitro - Great Mid-sized SUV
I fell in love with the Nitro 2 years before I bought one. The overall look of the exterior is sporty without being too aggressive. Once you get into the driver's seat the Nitro seems to wrap around you like a cockpit. Even the back seats are comfortable and inviting.
Story
Our first camping trip with our Nitro gained us some very jealous looks from the other campers in our group. While everyone else was using manual pump to inflate their air mattresses we simple ran an extension cable from the Nitro into our tent and plugged it into the outlet in the backseat and used our electric air pump. Our air mattress was inflated and ready to go in minutes!
Pros
The built in power inverter is an a great feature! It has better gas mileage that other comparable models. The backseats have a few inches of reclining which can make a huge difference. I also love that they fold completely flat when they need to. The small storage space under the cargo area is a great feature as well. There is an amazing amount of room for everything from camping equipment, home improvement supplies, pets, and anything else you want or need to move.
Cons
The passenger foot area has a strange slat on the left side that can make it a little uncomfortable after a few hours of ridding in the car.
2007 Dodge Nitro - Style and performance = great vehicle
Very stable vehicle. The ride felt a little stiff at first, but we definitely got over that. Handles great in any condition. Interior is very nice and roomy. Stereo system totally rocks! Better than anything I've heard in quite some time for a ten-year-old car. Very quiet ride. I can't hear outside noise while driving. Exterior trim looks great. Great ABS and braking system. Controls on the steering wheel are nice. Outlet in back seat for charging. Great for hauling and easy to clean out the rear area. Very sound vehicle with little to no rattling. Easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Good gas mileage.
Story
Doing a little 4x4ing in the snow. Handles great! We live in a very rural area that sees very little snowfall. When we did finally get some, we took it out in the field and had a little fun. Never got stuck! Coming from Illinois where we dealt with a lot of snow and many 4x4's, we had a little experience with vehicles. This vehicle handled it like a champ here in the south.
Pros
Deep storage bin in rear, sliding cargo floor, and flat folding seats no gaps.
Cons
Window control buttons are placed too far forward for the driver. I always hit the rear window buttons when trying for the front. It needs a little more leg/foot area in the front.
