Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Nitro?
Roomy and handles great. I just bought mine and I am Loving it by far. It does get a lot of attention in my opinion it just looks o so different.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Nitro?
Being tall and trying to put you child in his car seat and WHAM you knock your head in on the roof. Ouch.
Better gas mileage for real Dodge, this is insane but hopefully your CEO will listen to your engineers next time.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Nitro?
I fell in love with the design of the truck overall and it was different than any other SUV I seen! Now everybody is driving them around!!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Nitro?
It definitely would be the gas mileage!

Also if someone could tell what is the fuse for the radio; because the fuse blown and I don't know which one. It is because the manual tells me one thing and the diagram under the fuse box cover tells me something else!!

2008 Dodge Nitro Review:
I leased mine in September of 2007; and I have had not one problem with it!! It's very quick and handles the road very well. Overall; it gets a lot of attention!!!!(lol)

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Nitro?
Looks great and good leg room in the rear seat, also good storage in the rear

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Nitro?
Tall people have a problem getting in the drivers seat. The seat could be lower. Also, I can't see items on the dash that say if something is wrong unless I take the effort to look. The steering wheel hides them. Since I bought the car there has been a noise similar to when your brakes start wearing down...a rubbing type of sound. I had it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong.

2008 Dodge Nitro Review:
I absolutely love the car!
