Reviewed: 2007 Dodge Nitro

4dr SUV 210-horsepower 3.7L V6 4-speed automatic RWD

Why the 2007 Dodge Nitro?

Exterior styling

I bought mine in japan so it is the R/T package but with a 3.7L engine. I like the look of it which is the reason I bought it. It had a unique interior with the stow and go storage area and mine came with a side view camera.

Why Not the 2007 Dodge Nitro?

Powertrain performance

It is not geared well, I always have to slam on the gas to get it to go up a steep hill and from a stop it has a really torquey start, it never wants to accelerate smoothly. Its either always sluggish or the engine and transmission over compensate.

Fuel economy

It has some of the worst fuel economy out of any v6 out their with similar horse power.

Handling

It is very bumpy and drives like an older pickup truck.

Reliability & durability

I had this thing fixed 4 times in the first 6 months i owned it. 3 times for interior electronics and the other for brakes. Also the interior is very cheap plastic that vibrates to much when playing loud music. It deffenantly could have been built better.

Materials & workmanship

The transmission feels very cheap and kick often when letting of the gas when the transmission is about to shift gears.
