SPECIAL NOTE: THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD OUT OF THE LOUISVILLE, KY LOCATION. THIS MEANS THAT ONCE YOU PURCHASE THE VEHICLE YOU NEED TO ARRANGE A DAY AND TIME TO PICK IT UP IN LOUISVILLE, KY. Please look at the pictures first. As you can see the Dodge Nitro SLT R/T is in excellent shape. Chrome grill, 20" rims, fully tinted side and back windows, main screen display with GPS capability. I just installed a brand new battery due to last winter being so cold; the battery was $160 alone. The Nitro drives like new. It even has a new car smell to it. It amazes me every time I get in. I take very good care of this Nitro. It has less than 122,000 miles on the odometer and shows little signs of aging.Also, I pulled this review off from many hundreds of positive reviews of this SUV on a car review site:Most small SUVs are gentle creatures -- conservatively styled, car-based designs that aspire to deliver practicality, comfort and perhaps a touch of athleticism in an economical package. But leave it to Dodge to create a compact sport-utility that won't play nice with its peers. An all-new offering this year, the 2007 Dodge Nitro is based on a slightly lengthened version of a chassis also used for the Jeep Liberty. It's a unibody design, but a non-independent rear suspension, a standard rear-drive configuration (with four-wheel drive optional) and the use of large-displacement 3.7-liter and 4.0-liter V6 engines all point to the platform's truckish roots.Then, there's the matter of styling, as the Dodge Nitro forsakes its competitors' soft curves for a Ram truck-like grille, exaggerated fender flares and oversize tires that measure up to 20 inches in diameter, depending on which trim level you select. It's a unique look for this class, although the Nitro's high beltline and short glass area call to mind the Hummer family, while the faux vents in its front quarter panels are cribbed from Land Rover's Range Rover Sport.For those who want a small SUV with a definitively masculine presence, the new Nitro will surely do the trick. Unfortunately, there's not as much substance as style. Even though Dodge retuned the suspension to provide a sportier feel on pavement, the Nitro is ultimately unable to deliver the kind of refined ride quality and responsive handling you get with true car-based SUVs like the Mazda CX-7 and Toyota RAV4. Similarly, its V6 engines can't match the smoothness or efficiency of competitors' smaller engines (which are nearly as powerful). In its favor, the 2007 Dodge Nitro offers a roomy, comfortable cabin that's well insulated from wind and road noise, but in the highly competitive compact SUV class, this isn't enough to offset an overall subpar driving experience.
