Q: if you own a honda element or dodge nitro please help?
What are your opinions on the car you own? please state the car you own and the pros and cons.
A: After four years of ownership, I'm quite happy with my AWD Honda Element EX. Although some folks are put off by the Element's styling, that's what attracted me to the "E" in the first place. The last thing I wanted was another generic, ho-hum small SUV. It's not like I planned drive it to rob banks. After comparing it to the possible alternatives the Element had the best combination of features for my needs and was a terrific value.
The four cylinder engine provides adequate (but not neck snapping) power with decent mileage (22-24 mpg) on regular gas. It has enough "oomph" to get you on the Interstate, but you won't win any drag races with the kid down the street and his Civic Si with the big-assed wing on the back. The five-speed stick shifts easily, but revs high...3000 rpm at 60 mph...which is not unusual of Hondas. The automatic doesn't rev quite as high at the same speed. I think the E is actually fun to drive. We got the AWD version for New England winters and it has performed well. You have to keep in mind that AWD helps you go, but it doesn't help you stop regardless of what you're driving. Some owners complain about the stock Goodyear Wrangler tires. They've been okay for my driving style, but they're due for replacement and I'll be looking for something else.
The Element's ride is firm, but not jarring. The front seats are comfortable, and the back seats are slightly higher than the front. Some people like this, some don't. The interior holds up well to kids and dogs. It can be wiped out, but not hosed out as some claim. No velour and plush carpet to absorb the spilled grape soda or muddy paw prints. The back seats fold flat, and can be flipped up against the side of the Element or removed completely. The Element only seats four, a drawback to some. The clamshell doors take some getting used to and may be a nuisance if you have kids climbing in and out of the back all the time. On the other hand, you control their access. They just can't bolt out the back door when you pull in to Chuck-E-Cheese. You have to open one of the front doors first.
It's not as quiet as a Buick or a Lexus, but is noticeably quieter than my Nissan Pickup truck. We've taken several long trips and been quite comfortable. The EX is nicely equipped with power windows, locks and mirrors, AC, a decent stereo, cruise control, etc., but if you want heated mirrors and leather seats this isn't the ride for you.
Add the Element's unique appearance, reasonable price, real world performance and features to Honda's reputation for quality and reliability and you have an incredible value that's hard to beat. Another plus is that just about every consumer/car publication/web site gives the Element high ratings. I will have to confess that my Element hasn't been completely trouble free. I attribute that to owning the first year of a new model. The driver's door lock needs a new actuator. Also, the heater stopped working recently and the dealer recommended replacing the heater core at a cost of $1200! Fortunately I was able to clear the blockage with a blast of compressed air, so I'd write that one off as more of a dealer problem, than an Element problem. I've also discovered a fanatical owner's group with a wealth of information and developed some good friendships with other Element owners. http://www.elementownersclub.com
Dunno much about the Dodge Nitro. It too has a different look, some unique features, comes with a V-6 (with poorer gas mileage) and probably seats five, but what would concern me most is that it's a Dodge. Chyrsler products have a dismal reliability record. Consumer Reports doesn't think much of the Nitro either. The Element is one of their recommended alternatives. http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/ConsumerReportsSnapshot.aspx?year=2007&make=Dodge&model=Nitro
Q: what is better a dodge nitro or the ford edge?
pls help trying to decide on what to get .... any info would be great!
A: I have driven the Nitro and I liked it. The Ford Edge is asking for trouble.
Roomy, powerful and practical would be how I describe the Nitro. For the money about 25K you get a pretty good set up, power doors, windows, cd, etc..
Q: What is the name of the song in the Dodge Nitro commercial?
The Dodge Nitro commercial aired a few months (if not years) ago and had a really catchy tune! It sounded like Tom Jones, Neil Diamond or someone similar sang it and it's lyrics were like this "Open your eyes and what do you see?" and "Let's fall in love."
A: Here is the commercial on you tube...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sWF0Ykc7H8
the song you are refering to is a remake of "Freedom for the world" by Paul Anka. It is much cheaper to by the publishing rights for the song and remake it with a music company then to actually use the oriignal song.
Q: how big is the gas tank on a Dodge Nitro R/T?
Just looking to figure approx gas mileage for a trip across the country in my new Nitro.
A: 19.5 gallon/73.8 Liter gasoline tank
Q: I was looking into getting a sound system for my Dodge Nitro. I have about $200 to spend. Any suggestions?
I want something that is going to hit hard with the bass and still play clearly.
I have about $500 but I didn't want to spend that unless I had to. I am willing to though if it means getting a nice system.
A: Consider saving up more money - or find good used products.
You're going to need a sub amp, subwoofer, enclosure and a wiring kit to make all this happen. Not going to happen with just $200 unless you do some serious bargain hunting.
Q: How do I remove the door handles on my dodge nitro? in depth please.?
installing a wrap, and I would like to remove those big handles to install a seamless wrap. Any ideas?
A: All I can tell you is that at Chrylser school they built the inside door panel and the window regulator together causing the door panel remval to access the handle a lot harder. They hide some bolts on the inside of the inner door handle and you have to release the regulator from the window to remove the panel. See if your dealer parts dept. can print you out a scheme from the parts catolag. Most parts people are happy to do this.
Q: Are there any Dodge Nitro owners out there?
I'm thinking about buying one. Please give me your pros and cons about the vehicle. Also, I'm 6'1" so give me your height and let me know if the vehicle is comfortable.
A: i don't own one but i do a lot of work on them ,they seem to be good vehicles so far,they have had some problems but so have other car makers also,those aren't real roomy on the inside though,s you might want to test drive one and see if its going to be comfortable for you to drive,I'm short so one suits me just fine,but as far being a good vehicle they are,and come with a real good warranty also,good luck on it.
Q: is there a after market remote for the dvd player in a dodge nitro?
A: in our local paper circuit city had an add for a after market DVD player that could be adapted to fit any vehicle they said,so yes there should be one available for it,it may cost less than a factory one also,and some places provide installation on some of their products,so that would help out a lot also,id call some of the electronics stores around me and see what they offer,they may have something to fit it,at a reasonable price,and sometimes you can find a deal where they have Free installation,good luck with it.
