My parents bought me a 2007 electric blue Nitro just like this one today as my first car... because it's much safer and more reliable than anything I could afford on my own savings. I'm so excited, it's such a brilliant car, isn't it?!!
I'm glad to hear that you are happy with your Nitro. I certainly don't want to imply that I think the Nitro is the best vehicle on the road, because we know its not, but is most certainly not the worst. Its just that I read some of the reviews, and then two people I know purchased them, and really like them. I guess the moral of the story is that you need to try things out for yourself, rather than listening to other peoples opinions...
I love my diesel nitro, whatever you do dont listen to car reviewers from the UK. For some reason they hate American cars. This is an awesome vehicle. I have remapped mine and it has over 200 hp and 370+ ft lbs. If anyone is thinking about buying one I highly recommend it.
Rented a four wheel drive version from Dollar, if your interested in buying one I beleive it more than worth it the four wheel frive handled just like the jeep Wrangler X That we had, but about 10K less in price.. We are looking at purchasing a 4x4 model in white. Putting 33's on it and having some fun.Despite what the sticker says about gas milage I noticed around 29-30 mpg at 65mph. 02.01.09 Rental date.
Its funny how all the "experts" hate this car, but everyone who actually owns one, loves it. These guys actually seem to be fond of it. Its about time someone gives it the credit it deserves.
I was once offered one to trade for an old Lincoln I had though I turned the guy down. His had well over 250,000 miles and I instead sold the Lincoln for only $2000 cash. Maybe I should have at least looked at the Nitro. He said it wouldn't have got to that mileage without good maintenance.
you dont like ikea? and ive offroaded and spun the tires and ripped down the highway at 80mph in 4wd . It has great traction control... also pulls a gd sized trailor like nothin. Also stock with 6 speakers. i added a sub and two mids . cars really really good. Also just drove 4 thousand miles in 5 days straight no problems...
I have the same car and same color but I have a question and I hope someone answered me.. there’s a button beside the flasher looks like that (||) what is her job
I'd love to have a Nitro, even though American cars are pretty notorious here in Scandinavia (poor reliability, finish, interior). US car servicing and spare parts costs are often way higher than competition. In Finland a 2007 Nitro still fetches 25k eur. Most popular is the 2.8 Common Rail turbodiesel by Italian VM Motori, 130 kW / 177 Hp, CO2 emissions 250 g/km, top speed: 182 km/h, accel. (0-100kph): 10,5 s, Consumption city: 12.2 l/100km, road: 7.8 l/100km, combined: 9.4 l/100km.
The magazine Consumer Reports, the annual car issue. They're reporting is untouchable. They don't have any advertisements and don't take money from companies. Their reporting is completely unbiased.
I think this is nice. It looks aggressive and has a strong 4.0 Besides there aren't many rear wheel drive compact SUVs out there, besides the toyota fj cruiser and nissan xterra which are both ugly. The only other I can think of is the Mercedes GLK, but that's a little pricey.
Hear horror stories, but I've owned my Feb 2007 build SXT 3.7L since Feb 08, she had 27,000 miles on her. Getting 10ltr/100km (20mpg) highway. She now has 124,000 miles (over 200,000 km) as of April 2013. repairs to date -, O2 sensor, transfer case shifter motor, tyres, brake pads, roof rack rails removed (common problem with front end coming loose), seat repair (stupid design, drag your ass off and the plastic trim comes with you). Recalls - wiper relays.
What a great car 17mpg average? You realize the car has EXACTLY 10 gallon larger tank but has a range 150 miles less than the 9.5 gallon prius c. IF you get 300K miles out of both cars you will pay over $36K in extra fuel for the Nitro vs the prius.That is a terrible number takes 5.9 gallons to go 100 miles whereas the prius uses 2 gallons. You can bet this car grows on you you will be supporting that guzzler for a long time. $36K no wonder there are homeless people ! Wealth wound city.
I also have to test things out for myself. I've stopped believe Consumer Reports because they've got Honda and Toyota parked so far up their ass it's not even funny...I drove a Nitro when I was car shopping and really liked it, it was a huge value. I ended buying an Avenger instead because of gas prices. Anyway, I never listen to the "professionals" as I have yet to be impressed by their recommendations.
lol...so do I....look at my videos. I'm just saying that because he is going by someone else's bad experience make up his/her mind for them. I dont trust critics or anything like that. I like to experience things for myself so I can makeup my own mind instead of having someone else do it for me. I love my Nitro. I have not had one single problem with it. if you wanna see it, go to my videos
@rremikita I think your thought process is of a 12 year old. You compare a $106,000 Cayenne turbo to a $25,000 Nirtro!?! The Nitro has classic style. The Korean's build stuff like the new Sonata, that might make a fancy doorstop.
@1ownjoo2 mhm... so ur saying the nitro is shit because of a oil leak? my uncle has a nitro....not a problem in 4yrs.... how about honda? their supposed to be reliable right? my aunts Civic has broken down 3 times within 2 years... first the transaxle...then 2 and 3 rd gear... then cylinder 3 seazed.... Point is, dont talk shit about a car, unless its proven garbage ... like a landrover 90's discovery or Mini Cooper... thoes are proven to be highly falty.
It actually looks nice in silver but i wouldnt buy it because of poor gas milage and price...I would get a jeep patriot that more balance of size, on-road, off-road, good gas milage, and low price.
Anyone else watching in April 2018? This vid is not a review but a commercial. Willing to bet they received some funding from Dodge to make this. The Nitro was consistently one of the worst cars in its class if not worst period for years it was manufactured. Cheap plastics and horrible steering made this car one of the worst examples of American car making of the decade. Roadfky tv was simply full of bs with this so called review.
If I could A to B for free I would the nearest thing to that is hybrid.I am comparing MONEY to MONEY you see a hybrid or a SUV I see a stack of gas cans and lots and lots of MONEY. I see more time spent at fuel pumps purchasing fuel I see people going to check cashing places to borrow money. It is difficult to catch a prius refueling but want to really catch something rare catch a prius at a check cashing place? The cars are maybe $2K more than another ride made back first 20K miles.
Try removing the engine on a 3.7 V6 Nitro . Great if you have the jig to pull the entire front diff/suspension/steering/engine/transmission/wiring loom . If you don't GOOD LUCK ! Modular design is great ..... right up until a component fails !!
Scottyin AUS I know it's a year later but it could be a cousin from either the mom or dad side or the family. The cousin mom could have had the cousin out of wedlock which means they are not related through blood or marriage. Sorry I couldn't resist .
You might want to check Consumer Reports owner satisfaction ratings for the Nitro, they are almost at the bottom of the list. Those are real people doing real reviews, I think there are MANY people who aren't satisfied with their Nitro...
whew! this car looks like a typical terrible Chysler product that gives domestics a bad name... the Escape is much better than this car, and I'm glad I for my '06 RAV4. But I bet this car does pretty well off road, but other than that, I'd rather have something that's car based.
@1ownjoo2 ur same comments r on every single nitro video, what is ur obsession? lol. i just bought mine tuesday even AFTER reading ur comments, they r obviously having no affect, maybe u should come up with some new comments or something,lol
@VhUgGz Hey, thanks for you opinion, and how we really don't care since you're obviously not an American car buying individual. I don't care who you buy from these days, it's all junk.
This video is misleading because my parents business bought one of these... an slt too, and its very cheaply made the interior is already wearing out after 40,000 km. The engine is crude, noisy and lacks torque. Its a HOG on fuel. The traction control is way too intrusive too. It really isn't what this video says it is!
thats an ugly car, first of all, its really slow, its fairly big but its cramp inside. even gettin inside the car is cramp, all the interior is made out of har plastic. its just horrible
My parents bought me a 2007 electric blue Nitro just like this one today as my first car... because it's much safer and more reliable than anything I could afford on my own savings. I'm so excited, it's such a brilliant car, isn't it?!!
178k later and I’m still loving my ‘07 SLT!!!
I love my 07' Nitro! Its usually people that dont own one that judge it so harshly! Very few people that own a Nitro dislike it!
I'm glad to hear that you are happy with your Nitro. I certainly don't want to imply that I think the Nitro is the best vehicle on the road, because we know its not, but is most certainly not the worst. Its just that I read some of the reviews, and then two people I know purchased them, and really like them.

This is one of those vehicles that recieves a ton of mixed reviews. It depends on the person. I personally think this whatever it is pretty awesome.
i have one and it kicks ass... yes its a SLT 4x4
the 2006-2011 Dodge Nitro is assembled in
Toledo, Ohio, United States
I have the 07' SXT model. What kind of gas should I be using?

Every car is different one may hold up and the other may not .. It's a beautiful car I'm getting one in march
i would like a nitro , are there any secondhand ones on the market in ireland.!!!!!1
A little worried about buying a nitro because it got worst car for 2008. But its a good looking car and I have seen them fro 13,000 now.
Thanks man ! and in your opinion what similar car (in $ too) is good?
I was once offered one to trade for an old Lincoln I had though I turned the guy down. His had well over 250,000 miles and I instead sold the Lincoln for only $2000 cash. Maybe I should have at least looked at the Nitro. He said it wouldn't have got to that mileage without good maintenance.

Could you tell us where we can find those reports ? Thanks . I tell you this cause I´m thinking to buy a Nitro .
I have the same car and same color but I have a question and I hope someone answered me.. there’s a button beside the flasher looks like that (||) what is her job

Can any one tell me please what is MPG of 2.8 diesel Dodge Nitro 2008? and insurance groups for UK?
Can any one give me some information about 2.8 diesel Dodge Nitro 2007 to 2010 what is MPG and insurance groups and is 4Wheel drive?
why are you comparing a hybrid to an SUV?
I think this is nice. It looks aggressive and has a strong 4.0
Besides there aren't many rear wheel drive compact SUVs out there, besides the toyota fj cruiser and nissan xterra which are both ugly. The only other I can think of is the Mercedes GLK, but that's a little pricey.
How to raise seat up mine are stuck lol

so you must be one of those people that trust critics instead of making up your own mind.....way to let someone else make up your mind for you
it does kinda look like a hummer and a scion

i think i want this car. badly!
Heard of the Land Rover Freelander? Yes, so have we, but clearly no-one at Dodge has.
I also have to test things out for myself.

lol...so do I....look at my videos. I'm just saying that because he is going by someone else's bad experience make up his/her mind for them. I dont trust critics or anything like that. I like to experience things for myself so I can makeup my own mind instead of having someone else do it for me. I love my Nitro.

Solid rear axle? Fuck that.

@1ownjoo2 ur same comments r on every single nitro video, what is ur obsession? lol. i just bought mine tuesday even AFTER reading ur comments, they r obviously having no affect, maybe u should come up with some new comments or something,lol

Not a bad car, I guess.
It's an ikea car!
"prey" O RLY?
juck
This video is misleading because my parents business bought one of these... an slt too, and its very cheaply made the interior is already wearing out after 40,000 km. The engine is crude, noisy and lacks torque. Its a HOG on fuel. The traction control is way too intrusive too. It really isn't what this video says it is!
SÜper ;)
Consumer Reports named the Dodge Nitro one of the worst 11 cars of 2008... you did just fine.
also our nitro is better ... the wheels are 20"
and red is better than blue .. look at my video.
I'd rather have a Hummer H3.
3.7L and only 210hp!? LMFAO
its sooo ugly
Bad car
lmao..its a rubbish offroader
thats an ugly car, first of all, its really slow, its fairly big but its cramp inside.
even gettin inside the car is cramp, all the interior is made out of har plastic. its just horrible
poor car
