Buyer's Guide: 2009 Dodge Nitro

Car Summary

New in 2009: The chassis on the Nitro has been revamped to increase handling performance.

The 2009 Dodge Nitro lives by its motto “Go bold or go home.” Whether it’s in the styling or the driving experience, the Nitro is not for the casual SUV/crossover driver. Although it offers an easy, comfortable driving experience, to truly appreciate the Nitro, one needs to be an active driver with an affinity for four-by-fours with a strong personality.

Pros

  • Controlled, comfortable ride.
  • Great audio.
  • Versatile cargo area.

Cons

  • Styling is an acquired taste.
  • Higher trim levels become an increasingly poor value.
  • Quality of interior materials is below average.
