Pros: What do you like about 2007 Dodge Nitro?
Aesthetically, this mid size SUV out rivals all others in its class. I have received so many double takes from on lookers, I can't even count and my husband and I have only had it 1 week. It's stylish and bold. We put chrome tubular side rails and it accents the 20' chrome wheels. The ride is so smooth (must be that sports suspension my husband keeps raving about), the leather trimmed seats are very comfortable and it's roomier than I expected it to be. THAT LOAD- AND-GO IS AWESOME!!! One feature that I will NEVER be able to live without is the UConnect. That is the best hands free device I've ever encountered and it sounds crystal clear on both ends.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Nitro?
We have the RT which is a 4.0 liter engine. IT SUCKS GAS! We've filled this car up at least six times this week at $30.00 a pop (that's because we never let it get past the 1/2 tank mark. In any case we've put 1,100 miles on it in 7 days, but on the same note, have probably spent close to $200.00(remember, we've only had it 1 week). The manual says that mid grade is the best for the vehicle so that's all we've been using (an average of $3.50 per gallon). We've decided to use the NITRO only on the weekends. BUT, wouldn't give this vehicle up for the world. That's why we still have our commuter cars :-).

2007 Dodge Nitro Review:
THIS CAR IS INCREDIBLY AWESOME. My husband and I did our research, scouted around for the perfect Nitro and finally traded the PT Cruiser in for this RT. Get this, it only increased our insurance rate by 9 dollars from the PT Cruiser. After waiting for nearly 6 months to purchase one, we finally found it and bought it. We've not look back since!! This RT 4x4 version has get up and go power like you can't believe. Since it's the beginning of summer, we can't wait until winter for the snow to try out the 4x4. My hubby is so proud of the bold, masculine look of the NITRO. He's all smiles when driving down the road.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Dodge Nitro?
My Nitro is unstoppable in mud and snow. It came from the factory with 3:55 gears so it really likes to get up and go!

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Nitro?
Every speed limit in my town is 40 mph, so the trans cant decide which gear it should be in. It drives me crazy. Also, the blind spots really make it hard to drive the express ways in Detroit.

2007 Dodge Nitro Review:
I wouldn't trade my Nitro for anything.

2007 Dodge Nitro Review:
BUT ALL IN ALL I'M IMPRESSED WITH MY LITTLE MULE EVEN THOUGH IT'S ONLY A 4X2, IT'S BEEN THROUGH SOME NARLY STUFF. I AGREE IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO RAISE IT A LITTLE. PUT ON THE NEXT SIZE BFG TIRES AND THROUGH THE DESERT WE GO..........................

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Nitro?
interior trim. spec. drivers left hand side seat trim. Been replaced 4 times so far. Dealers state they have many req. for replacements. Our nitro only has 5,802 miles.

2007 Dodge Nitro Review:
Instead of replacement a re-design is in order. Dealership is very accomidating and appoliges each time replacement is needed.

better fit on interior trim. Too many things coming apart, i.e., plastic on side of driver seat, black strip on roof of vehicle.

2007 Dodge Nitro Review:
I am very unhappy with my nitro. My husband warned me about buying a car in its first model year, but I did...and really wish I hadn't.

Ease of going from 2 to 4WD; in Illinois we need it the way the weather changes.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Nitro?
Reduce the interior noise, too many squeaks and the wind dynamics if the only the rear window are open. Also add a little more comfort to the seats for long distance drives. Better gas mileage is always a plus.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Dodge Nitro?
I like the fact that the seats fold down for hauling large objects. It's got power when I need to get up and go. Plus, it has enought room for my two boys.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Nitro?
I would improve it with better sound quality and better cover for the rear security.

2007 Dodge Nitro Review:
I really enjoy the Nitro. It's comfortable and queit while I drive.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Dodge Nitro?
I have the RT model. Its a headturner, for sure. Has aggressive road appeal.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Nitro?
If I had the skills/knowledge, I would make the acceleration smoother. The RT model has a very unpredictable acceleration history--"jerky"; what the dealership calls "perky".

2007 Dodge Nitro Review:
As billed, but I am starting to think "I wanted and expected more".

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Dodge Nitro?
Good looks, Great sound system, Great back seat roominess and cargo area, MyGig is a pleasure to own and move around in, Shifting is smooth and engine is responsive. Intrior noise is at a minimum. The R/T is a real looker and the attention to detail concerning the seats and interior is first rate.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Dodge Nitro?
Several "Blind spots" make driving this vehicle a little concerning. When you give her the gas, the motor makes a lot of noise. When you are moving and the window is down, there is a lot of noise and air coming in.

2007 Dodge Nitro Review:
Overall: I give the Nitro a 4 out of five. It is easy to drive, fun to drive and Looks great on the road. The only glitch is the "Blind Spots" at the corners.
