What does this car say about you?

I don't care what other people think, and i am willing to be a little different and stand out from the crowd.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

No matter where i go, either it be friends, neighbours or strangers, i always get comments about the car, the most common one being "wow!! what is it?".

Would you buy this car again and why?

If Dodge still made the nitro, then yes i would consider buying another one in the future, but i have no plans to sell the nitro in the foreseeable future, but i might consider buying another dodge product, guess we will just have to wait and see how they turn out now fiat own them.

I will most definitely consider another dodge.

Didn't buy from a dealer

£10,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a great deal on the car, i found that buying the car private, i saved a good few ££'s from the dealers prices at the time. plus the car was still under manufactures warranty.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I always liked the styling of the nitro, its stand out from the crowd looks, and cool styling, i call it the marmite car you either love it or hate it.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Before i bought the car, i read all the reviews, and thought oh no, but after driving the car, i can't say much bad about it, the car drives very well, smooth, quiet, and very powerful, the 2.8 crd provides more than enough power, and in four wheel drive, there is just no stopping you, this thing would pull houses down if you wanted it too. i have driven hundreds of cars (I'm a mechanic) and the Dodge drives just as well as any other 4x4, even the ones that are classed as more upper market.

What's it like to park?

You won't find a car any easier to park than the nitro, you sit high up and can see everything, and the rear parking sensors work great.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I have had a couple of small problems with the car, but nothing major, and any problems were quickly sorted out by my local friendly Dodge dealership.

What's most practical about your car?

The high driving position, space, and pull out load and go floor.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Heated leather seats, cruise control, tinted windows, great sound system, 20" alloy wheels, i could go on and on......
