The car is a great gas saver and good for road trips it's also a low maintenance car it doesn't cost much to buy parts to the car when it's broken it can be a great everyday car especially for taking road and camping trips its very spacious.
Comfortable, easy to drive, great handling and cargo space. Does well on gas mileage and is compact enough to fit in busy area areas but still big enough to have good cargo space. 4x4 and tow package make it a great vehicle for people or families who enjoy outdoor activity.
The cons about this car is that the check engine light always comes on even if there's not a problem also the transmission will start to go out after a year it also isn't a fast car it picks up speed very slow.
The only con I have for my vehicle is the room in the back seat. It fits the two car seats I have for my young children but that takes up all the space for the seat. If it somehow could have a just a little additional space that would make it perfect for me.
The 2009 Dodge Nitro has an average owner rating of 4.28 out of 5 which ranks it #11 of 25 other Compact SUVs.
