Used Dodge Nitro (2007 - 2009) Review Review by David Ross on 27 Mar 2007 Last Updated: 09 Dec 2008 2.5 The Dodge Nitro is an imposing 4x4 with chunky all-American styling and plenty of road presence. Unfortunately there's little else positive. Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery Attention-grabbing styling, decent diesel engine, generous equipment levels Feels dated, poor quality cabin, vague steering, uncomfortable ride New price range: £18,303 - £23,890 Used price range: £1,727 - £4,897 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 2.5 out of 5 The Dodge Nitro is an imposing 4x4 with chunky all-American styling and plenty of road presence. Unfortunately there's little else positive. Although the diesel engine is fairly potent, it's not very economical or refined - and likewise in most other areas the Nitro feels crude. It's meant to be an alternative to cars like the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento - but they both feel sophisticated by comparison.An uncomposed ride and cheap-feeling interior complete the unappealing package while the vague steering and excessive body roll in corners mean it doesn't drive well either.
