#91 of 139 My Wife's Nitro by tcsmpsi May 08, 2007 (2:45 pm)
We have an SXT w/C package (fog lights, power, cruise, alum wheels, etc., etc.) full size spare, 3.73 rear diff. and 4 spd auto.   Hmmmmm...I'll go and try to 'hit my butt on something hard in the seat', but so far haven't done such. Hmmmmm.   We only have a few hundred miles on it so far, but have NO complaints about it.   I like the simple interior, as in my '05 Dak Quad and our '07 Caliber.   I reckon anyone can nit-pick anything to death, if they so desire.   My wife...well, it was her decision and I was only there for back-up. She is quite tickled with it. It actually drives better and smoother than I had anticipated. When I finally did get a turn at driving it.

Replying to: snapcracklepop (May 29, 2007 1:59 pm) I have to admit that I really love the masculine styling of the Nitro with the exception of the rear. Unfortunately, when i went to check one out I was very disappointed with the interior materials.   I simply don't understand who Chrysler could launch a vehicle thats so hot on styling then do a total 180 on the interior materials. Considering that GM and Ford upgraded their interior materials almost two years ago its difficult to understand what Chrysler executives were thinking. It tells me that they are not committed to being a major player and would instead prefer to just do enough to keep up with the competition. Whats sad about the decisions they made on interior plastics is that no other company in the industry is using that much plastic.   I still would like to buy a Nitro but they would have to seriously upgrade the interior and do more to address the Nitro's fuel consumption.
#95 of 139 What do you think of your Nitro? by mb789 Sep 19, 2007 (7:56 pm)
Hello. I'd like to hear from some Nitro owners on how they like their vehicles. What features do you like best? Like least? Are you happy with its performance and handling, etc.? Have you encountered any problems with your vehicles? Thanks. Replies to this message: caliberchic (Sep 20, 2007 5:19 pm) shady276 (Apr 10, 2008 9:32 am) caliberchic (Apr 11, 2008 1:27 pm)

Replying to: mb789 (Sep 19, 2007 7:56 pm) Well I've only had mine for two days now but I can tell you immediately that the handling is a little sloppy but you get use to it. The performance is great for me because the previous vehicle was a 2.4l and the bigger motor suits me better.   Features? It doesn't really have anything to get too excited about unless you get NAV system or the MyGIG.   I got mine with a moon roof, love that. The compass and temp gauge is a must have for me and you only get that with the customer preferred package. I don't really care for where the parking break is located, mostly because it's oddly large.   I test drove one with the running boards, hated those as I banged my calf on the them every time in and out of the truck.   As for appearance definitely upgrade the wheels, we got the 17" aluminum wheels over the 16" steel faced ones. The R/T wheels are amazing..I wish the SXT came with those.   Keep in mind too that you can get the SXT with the color matched fender flares, it's only $200 or so option. My SXT is color matched and doesn't have the grey cladded bottoms.   You can see pics of it in my carspace. \   ETA that I LOVE my Nitro!

Replying to: blacklab4 (Sep 22, 2007 9:24 pm) Not sure about that but I was told the rebate on a 2007 is $2,500 and the rebate on the 2008 was only $1,000.
#99 of 139 2007 Dodge Nitro by nitroowner Dec 02, 2007 (12:01 pm)
Has anyone experienced a brake failure on their Nitro after the brake recall. I owned the car for 8 months. A week after having my car fixed at the dealer relating to the brake recall notice, the brakes failed and I couldn't stop. The incident occured exactly like that explained in the recall. I guess Chrysler's fix for this problem didn't work???????
