Dodge Nitro (07-09) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 27 March 2007 Last Updated: 09 December 2008 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. 2.5 out of 5 Other Dodge reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Equipment The entry-level SE model comes with part-time four-wheel drive, electric windows and mirrors, electronic stability control, six airbags, 16-inch alloys, air conditioning, a CD stereo, 60/40 split rear seats and a compact spare wheel.
