The 2012 Dodge Nitro: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Dodge Nitro; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2012 Dodge Nitro for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Nitro
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 2 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electrical system and equipment adaptive/mobility; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Room inside
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the Nitro on your commute, then decide. A week with the Nitro answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Picking a year and a trim
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. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Ask us
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Dodge Nitro from us first.
