The 2011 Dodge Nitro for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Dodge Nitro for sale by us right now. This page helps you judge the 2011 Dodge Nitro before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
The 3.7L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Rated at 13.0 L/100 km combined, it needs around 39 litres for a 300 km round trip. Every 100 km costs about $20.15 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Practical details
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Nitro answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Nitro for a week and see how it fits your life.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $201.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Rent it for a week before you buy
