<title><![CDATA[Dodge Calibre Range : DODGING CONVENTION]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - If you feel the current crop of family hatchbacks and mini-MPVs lack a certain charisma, Dodge hope their Caliber will get you fired up. Steve Walker reportsSitting somewhere between family hatchback and compact 4x4, the Dodge Caliber is an affordable way to get a distinctive vehicle with family-carrying potential. Equipment levels are high and the prices is right so it's easy to overlook the Caliber's foibles.It took a long time for car manufacturers to realise that just because you may have a family on the go, it doesn't mean you're resigned to a life without a little style, a certain individuality and a degree of fun. Look at the cars that are churned out for family buyers. By and large they're about as much fun as a thumb in the eye. The day you end up with a bog-standard family hatchback or mini-MPV on your driveway is the day that you've waved the white flag, started getting interested in Marks and Spencer knitwear and wondered why you've never thought of listening to Radio Three before. There is another way and Dodge can offer a family-friendly five-seater that is fun, funky, decidedly unconventional and has more than a spark of charisma. It's called the Caliber. The success of the Chrysler PT Cruiser showed that funky styling could make inroads into a market obsessed by seats that can flip and tumble like an Olympic gymnast with ADHD. With the Caliber, Dodge thinks that a similar approach will work in the closely fought family hatchback sector. The Caliber is the car tasked with forming a beach head and it's a tough ask. Models like the Vauxhall Astra, the Toyota Auris and the Ford Focus are, on most objective criteria, superior to the Dodge. Where our American friend can score is in offering something with a little more youth appeal at a very attractive price. The Caliber's petrol engines are a steady bunch with the 1.8-litre unit proving to be the best seller. It'll get the Dodge to 60mph in around 9 seconds and on to a top speed of over 120mph. The 148bhp power output is a decent return and it's needed because the Caliber tips the scales at a hefty 1,345kg. Both the 1.8 and 2.0-litre petrols thrive on revs and while the 1.8 is marshalled by a five-speed gearbox, the 2.0-litre unit gets a CVT automatic. The diesel model is a more relaxed proposition thanks to the 310Nm of torque it has on offer and a power output of 136bhp."The Dodge has an endearing personality and a certain rough-hewn charmâ€¦."This 2.0-litre oil-burner is a direct-injection turbo diesel with high-pressure fuel injection, a variable geometry turbocharger and four valves per cylinder. The injectors are electronically controlled, allowing precise management of each combustion cycle with the optimum quantity of fuel. This system can operate at pressures of up to 2000 bar, leading to finer atomization of fuel, high power, more torque, and decent fuel efficiency. Refinement isn't up with the best common-rail diesels but the noise is far from intrusive and the petrol options go about their business in a pleasantly hushed manner. A good deal of outside help was drafted in to create the Caliber. The 1.8 and 2.0-litre petrol engines have been developed in partnership with Hyundai and Mitsubishi, the 2.0-litre diesel comes courtesy of Volkswagen and the front-wheel drive chassis also relies on the help of Mitsubishi. Such is the face of modern vehicle development where costs are so huge that manufacturers must group together to pool resources. If this rather odd sounding Japanese-Korean-German amalgam fails to appetise, perhaps the Caliber's all-American styling will. The front end looks like something that needs the backdrop of Monument Valley behind it as it appears in your rear view mirror with muscular blistered wheel arches, the big set of crosshairs on the grille and headlights that are so big you're certain Dodge paid the additional 50c to go large. Although it looks like a hefty piece of metalwork, the Caliber isn't as beefy as the macho styling would suggest. At 4,414mm long, it takes up about the same amount of room on the road as a Vauxhall Zafira, so it shouldn't prove a nightmare in town. If you're the sort of buyer who loves all those clever seating solutions, the Caliber is going to leave you a little underwhelmed. Where it does make a lot of ground back is in the much underestimated area of all round funkiness. The interior colour schemes are more like something from a Soho ad agency's reception and although the materials quality isn't going to give Audi engineers any sleepless nights, there's something fresh about this cabin that other manufacturers would do well to observe. Take for instance the Apple iPod holder that sits on the underside of the centre armrest. Flip the centre portion of the armrest over and your iPod has a place to sit rather than being clonked and scratched by gear in the glove box as you go round every corner. A chilled compartment above the glove box is big enough to store four bottles of water while the front passenger seat can fold flat to get really big items like surfboards or skis inside. The rear seats fold down easily enough to provide a cavernous rear loading bay but with the seats in place, rear knee room isn't hugely generous. Dodge Caliber customers get to choose between SE and SXT trim levels with even the SE car coming well equipped. There are electric windows, a CD stereo and remote central locking included along with air-conditioning. The cost of buying a Dodge Caliber is low and running costs shouldn't prove extortionate, even if the Caliber's fuel economy is hindered by its portly kerb weight. The 1.8-litre petrol engine can return 36mpg while emitting 174g/km of CO2. The 2.0-litre petrol engine with the CVT gearbox returns 35mpg with 192g/km emissions and the diesel is the best performer with its 46mpg and 161g/km. The Dodge Caliber has its work cut out but it's possible to see it carving a niche for itself through sheer force of personality. The Dodge has an endearing personality and a certain rough-hewn charm. It's well worth a look if you're after something that's out of the ordinary. The car isn't lacking in personality and buyers who want so stand out without paying through the nose to do so will understand its appeal. The bold styling and the all-American image will persuade many and the cabin offers plenty of space along with reasonable practicality making the Caliber a viable choice for families.Facts At A Glance CAR: Dodge Caliber range PRICES: £13,200-£16,700 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 7-8 CO2 EMISSIONS: 160-177g/km PERFORMANCE: [2.0 petrol] 0-60mph - 10.7s/ Max Speed 125mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: [2.0 petrol] [urban] 28.0mpg / [extra urban] 40.9mpg / [combined] 34.9mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Twin front, side and curtain airbags, ABS, tyre pressure monitoring /WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: Length/Width/Height, 4414/1747/1533mm]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Dodge Journey Range : TRAVEL SLICKNESS]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Dodge is hoping to make the Journey more memorable than the destination with its latest MPV. Steve Walker reportsIs it an SUV or an MPV? The Dodge Journey is tough to pin down but think of it as an MPV that looks like an SUV and you'll be near the mark. It has strong practicality, a decently finished interior by American standards and is more exciting to look at that your average seven-seater. Go on - live a littleâ€¦.There's nothing very trendy or dynamic about a seven-seat people carrier. One step down from a minibus and not too far removed from a full-blown Routemaster double-decker, these big MPVs are bought by people with vast, sprawling families that stubbornly refuse to fit into anything else. Recently, however, manufacturers have taken steps to minimise the frumpiness inherent in this kind of vehicle and with some success. Ford's S-MAX took a sporty approach, delivering attractive looks with a fun driving experience and here we've got the Dodge Journey, a big MPV with off-roader overtones. Don't get me wrong. It would be a brave or foolhardy individual that ventured off the asphalt in a Dodge Journey. The car is essentially a Chrysler Grand Voyager with a shorter wheelbase and is strictly front-wheel-drive. What it does have is the look of a 4x4 with its squared-off frontage, blistered wheelarches and roof-bars. It's certainly not your typical MPV shape. The Journey is propelled by one of two engines, a petrol or a diesel. The 2.4-litre petrol option is nothing to get over-excited about and is included largely to deliver an attractive entry-level price and to sate those who still can't abide diesel. It has a respectable 168bhp at its disposal but with 220Nm maximum torque at 4,500rpm, it's well down on the low-end muscle of the diesel which produces 310Nm at 2,500rpm. That CRD diesel is a Volkswagen-sourced 2.0-litre direct injection unit with 138bhp which copes reasonably well with this Dodge's 1895kg bulk. It's the pleasanter engine from a driving perspective than its petrol counterpart, though is a little noisier. In CRD trim, you can eventually wind the Journey up to a claimed 116mph before airflow defeats it"It's the interior that Dodge Journey buyers will be most interested inâ€¦."You'd have to say that the Dodge Journey drives like the big American MPV-come-SUV that it is, so it's not the kind of car you'd chuck about the lanes. To be fair, it doesn't lean as much as you'd expect through the bends, thanks to stiff anti-roll bars. This roll stiffness makes the steering quite precise, and the Journey can be hustled through twists with more vigour than you'd think. It's certainly comfortable on the straights and so long as you take things easy, will be more than adequate for family use. The diesel engine is available with the twin-clutch semi-automatic gearbox pioneered by Volkswagen but for most buyers, the six-speed manual that comes as standard is probably a better bet. The entry-level petrol model gets a five-speed manual `box. It's the interior that Dodge Journey buyers will be most interested in. There are seven seats and all present a decent amount of space so long as you're not intending to keep a pair of adults cooped up in the third row for any length of time. The all-important middle row is particularly spacious. It can be split 60/40, with each section able to slide individually back and forth. Access to the rearmost seats is also very good with a tug on the lever on the outside seats of the middle row prompting them to fold and slide right forward, leaving plenty of room to enter with dignity. Of course, with all three rows in place, baggage room is at a premium, with only 303 litres available. If luggage is your priority, all of the seats can of course be folded flat to present an extensive load floor with 1914 litres of space. This includes the passenger seat which can be dropped down to further boost the available volume or give parents an unrestricted view to the little monsters in the back. The cabin features an unusually large number of very useful storage spaces. You can, for example, store 12 drinks cans in two under-floor bins behind the front-row seats and this car's storage bins even have removable, washable liners. There's a "Chill Zone" air-conditioned storage bin in the glovebox for two more drinks cans, and the front passenger seat can "Flip 'n Stow", revealing a storage area under the cushion and forming a table-top when folded. If you fold down the backs of the "Tilt 'n Slide" centre-row seats, a pair of cup-holders and a storage recess are revealed for third-row inhabitants. Prices for the Journey look attractive, sitting in the £17,000 to £23,000 bracket. That's about 10% less than obvious rivals. The old American tactic of supplying lots of metal for the money has obviously been central to the thinking behind the vehicle. Equipment is hardly lacking either with three-zone climate control, tyre-pressure sensors, a 6 CD stereo and electric everything all coming as standard. Another boon is the safety kit which includes ESP stability control and curtain airbags running the length of the vehicle. Dodge would have us believe that the Journey is a `crossover', a woolly industry term which you can take as meaning either `the best of both worlds' or `neither one thing nor the other'. It depends on your point of view. In market terms, it goes up against other seven-seat MPVs but aims to win sales with its 4x4 inspired styling and attractive value proposition. The CRD diesel engine that's offered in the Journey is the one to choose if you're concerned with costs. The 2.4-litre petrol engine isn't the most efficient of units and its 32mpg with 209g/km emissions may initiate a few second thoughts. The CRD comes up with a far more creditable 44.8mpg and a 165g/km rating for CO2. Insurance groups range between 10 and 11. Despite that SUV-style exterior, the Journey is a conventional front-wheel-drive MPV and inside, it has all of the features that buyers would expect. All of the passenger seats can be folded flat to create a level load floor and there those handy under-floor cubbies to keep everything neat and tidy. The driving experience won't delight budding Lewis Hamiltons but the Journey rides well enough on decent surfaces and is perfectly comfortable on long motorway trips. We'd avoid the 2.4-litre petrol engine and choose the Volkswagen-sourced 2.0-litre diesel. If you like the idea of a large MPV with its multiple seating and storage options but have been turned off by the less than dynamic image that these models also bear, Dodge might have the answer. This car is big, well-equipped and tightly priced. It probably won't have been on your MPV shopping list if you've a growing family. But perhaps it should be.Facts At A Glance CAR: Dodge Journey PRICES: £16,795-£22,695 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 10-11 CO2 EMISSIONS: 165-209g/km PERFORMANCE: [2.0 CRD] 0-60mph 11.6s / Max Speed 116mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: [2.0 CRD] (urban) 34.4mpg / (extra urban) 55.4mpg / (combined) 44.8mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: ABS, ESP, front, side and curtain airbags.

<title><![CDATA[Dodge Avenger : IT'S PAYBACK TIME]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Family saloons don't have to be dull. June Neary tries out an American spin on this genre with Dodge's AvengerA few weeks ago I took a short cut through a car park belonging to the head office of a big insurance company. It went something like this; Mondeo, Laguna, Mondeo, Mondeo Estate, Insignia, Mondeo, C5, Passat, Mondeo. It was a big car park so I'll spare you the full details but it was full of employees' company cars and aside from the odd compact executive model and a few more leftfield choices, it was crammed with vehicles from the medium range sector. It was all more than a little bit dull. Don't get me wrong, the leading contenders in the medium range family car market so beloved of fleet customers are extremely competent vehicles but even with the recent moves away from these products into MPVs, 4x4s and compact executive offerings, it still seems like everyone's got one. There must be room for an alternative, something with a little more attitude and individuality. Dodge thinks it can provide exactly that with its Avenger.Walk around the Avenger and it looks anything but a medium range family saloon. Those trademark swimmer's shoulders give it an athletic, toned appearance and the bold crosshairs front grille and the aggressive jut of the front bumper definitely give it some real rear view mirror presence. Its designer claimed the front end was inspired by a pair of Oakley sunglasses he once owned. The rear haunches and the rib of black plastic on the leading edge of the rear pillars are certainly distinctive. The interior ergonomics of the Avenger are good and there's plenty of passenger space. The quality of the interior materials isn't great but the car feels honest and seems well screwed together. The 438-litre boot can be expanded by dropping the rear seats down. Even the front passenger seat folds flat, useful if you're carrying longer items. Your excuse for not finishing that decking has just disappeared.Dodge Avenger; you can imagine the sort of engine that a car called the Dodge Avenger is going to be have, it'll be big and noisy won't it? No it won't. Despite the all-American muscle car image of the Dodge brand, the Avenger engine line-up is thankfully more in tune with European tastes and fuel prices. There's a 2.0-litre diesel engine sourced from Volkswagen that's the pick of the range and an entry-level 2.0-litre petrol unit. The 2.0-litre petrol offers a decent 154bhp but buyers wanting a little more muscle can upgrade to the 167bhp 2.4-litre petrol that comes with a CVT automatic gearbox. Performance figures are punchy, the 2.0-litre Avenger hitting 60mph in 10.2 seconds before running on to a top speed of 125mph. The 2.0-litre diesel is the most appealing engine for the Avenger, the 138bhp engine driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearshift. Here, the 0-60mph sprint takes 12s but there's more mid range grunt with 229lb/ft available. Refinement isn't spectacular by modern diesel engine standards but you don't have to work the engine very hard to maintain progress. The petrol units are more hushed and all the Avengers handle reasonably tidily despite being a little behind the class leaders on this score. It's tough to fault the ride comfort on the straight and flat so buyers who prefer to cruise around rather than go hell for leather are more likely to appreciate the way the car behaves on the road.Like all Dodge products, the Avenger embraces the good-old American philosophy of giving the customer lots of metal for the money. It might be lacking finesse compared to the medium range stalwarts but it undercuts them significantly on price and chucks in plenty of standard equipment. The entry-level SE model is fitted with twin front, side and curtain airbags and also gets some of the neat, rather left-field ideas that Dodge likes to throw at its vehicles. The Chill Zone sounds like a place Wayne Rooney gets sent at the end of an England match but is instead a second air conditioned glovebox that can hold up to four cans of pop. The SXT gets bigger wheels amongst other gear. There are some interesting options available, including the clever entertainment system which, when coupled with the satellite navigation's LCD screen, offers touchscreen access to 20Gb worth of songs or pictures via hard drive. Captive occupants can thus be subjected to a holiday snap slide show.You'd have to say that the Dodge Avenger is behind the curve in some areas but it's firmly ahead in terms of its pricing, equipment levels and its ability to inject some individuality into your life. Familiarity breeds contempt, they say, and I for one would think twice before putting another one of those identikit medium range offerings on the road. The Avenger on the other hand, is something I could consider, if only for the baffled looks that would result when people asked what I drive.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Dodge Avenger Range : AVENGING ANGLES]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - The Avenger offers budget motorists a lot of car and a badge with a bit more clout than most South-East Asian rivals. Steve Walker takes a lookIf you prioritise value in your medium range Mondeo-sized family saloon, then Dodge's Avenger might be up your street. It might not be the last word in finesse but it's spacious, decent to drive and it offers a welcome alternative to the usual suspects in this popular market sector.All too often, you sacrifice any semblance of style if you opt for an inexpensive car. Dodge is building a presence in the UK on the basis that this needn't be the case. The Avenger offers those on a tighter budget striking styling and an evocative badge. Corners might be cut elsewhere but for many, this will represent an attractive deal. Think Dodge and you'll probably be reminded of US muscle cars and `70s TV cop shows, V8 engines woofling away at idle, ready to launch into an extended chase scene where the bad guys always get their collars felt. Or maybe you think of GT car racing with Dodge Vipers meeting, and in some cases beating, the best Europe could throw at them. The muscle car DNA is still alive and well in the Dodge range but today, the models that sell in the biggest numbers are considerably more affordable as ownership propositions. Three engines are offered for sale in the UK, and don't worry, none of them are gas-guzzling V8s. In fact all of the engines are shared with the Caliber range which in turn borrowed them from other outposts of the automotive world. The 2.0-litre diesel engine is a Volkswagen-sourced unit and the entry-level 2.0-litre petrol engine was developed in conjunction with Hyundai and Mitsubishi. The 2.0-litre petrol offers a decent 154bhp and 140lb/ft of torque but buyers wanting a little more muscle can upgrade to the 167bhp 2.4-litre petrol which packs 162lb/ft and comes with a CVT automatic gearbox. Performance figures are punchy, the 2.0-litre Avenger hitting 60mph in 10.2 seconds before running on to a top speed of 125mph. The 2.0-litre diesel is the most appealing engine for the Avenger, the 138bhp engine driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearshift.

Captive occupants can thus be subjected to a holiday snap slide show. The Dodge Avenger comes in well below the entry-level prices of comparable mainstream medium range saloons. In fact, only Kia's Magentis really approaches the Avenger's kit list at the kind of prices Dodge is asking and the Kia will depreciate rather eye-wateringly. Dodge reckons that when equipment levels are taken into consideration, the Avenger is around 14 per cent cheaper, model for model, than most of its budget rivals and scanning the brochures, it's hard to disagree. Both the 2.0-litre Avengers offer reasonable running costs. The 2.0-litre diesel, for example, will return a combined fuel economy figure of 45.6mpg and emits a modest 170g/km of carbon dioxide. Insurance is also reasonable for the Avenger as there are no big engine options offered. In the US there's a 235bhp 3.5-litre R/T model which might do good business here if Dodge could make the sums work for less than £19,000. The Dodge Avenger is an interesting car. It certainly has a little more personality about it than most of the budget family saloons and hatches on the market. It's this charisma and aggressive styling that will do most to persuade buyers but the car is also reasonably big and decently equipped. There are definitely more capable options out there in the medium range segment but not many at this price. The Avenger has an endearingly big-hearted character and your neighbour probably isn't going to have one or indeed know what it is. Up against the likes of the Ford Mondeo, the Vauxhall Vectra and the Peugeot 407, the Avenger brings a bit of attitude to the sector.

<title><![CDATA[Dodge Nitro : NITRO-ACTIVE?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Family 4x4s don't have to be dull. June Neary tries out an American spin on this genre with Dodge's NitroI'm pretty sure on this one. If you're looking for a relatively affordable compact 4x4 in the £18,000 - £25,000 bracket, then you won't be considering a Dodge. But that's partly because you've probably never heard of one. Just as well then that this brand's first attempt at a car for this market is as in-your-face as it is. No one will miss you on the school run in a Dodge Nitro - and maybe that's as it should be. If you're not up for that, then you're not up for this car.Dodge is sold at Chrysler dealerships, where you'll be able to try a car you probably won't be buying for its excellent practicality, although getting four of your mates on board in comfort is an asset. What matters for target customers are looks, affordability, a decent stereo system and the fact that not every car park Joe will have one. The Nitro certainly scores on the first three although it may well become a victim of its own success. There's definitely plenty of scope for pimping your ride too, with plenty of available space for fitting additional subs, amps and LCD screens. The standard fascia is a little bit American insofar as it does the bare essentials without too much pretence of being built from the sturdiest materials but it's functional and only the very base SE model looks rather dull. Move on up to the SXT models and the dash is finished in a metallic plastic that lifts the cabin. The main instruments are clearly presented and are shaded by a trio of cowls and although the steering wheel adjusts for rake, it's lacking a telescopic column for reach adjustment. Taller or long-legged drivers may find a lack of seat travel an issue and headroom isn't as generous as you might at first think. That high seating position has a lot to answer for. Rear seat occupants will find little to grouse about and there are some quite smart stowage solutions in the luggage bay.Just one engine is on offer, a very modern 2.8-litre diesel that will be of far more interest to UK buyers than the big petrol units that we more readily associate with Dodge. You don't, after all, buy a car for this for ultimate performance and handling: you buy it for its looks and its attitude. Once inside. I felt rather perched on top of the thing, the hip point of the Nitro being fairly high. Once on the move, I felt the weight of vehicle right from the outset. Whilst the 1,888kg kerb weight is enough to steamroller a lot of smaller imperfections in the road and the chassis feels pleasantly rigid, there's a slight ponderous feel to the front end. Really try to drive through that feeling and the Nitro tracks surprisingly flat and true, thanks in no small part to its thoroughly tarmac-biased independent suspension, plus squat and dive under hard acceleration and braking is also effectively quelled.You can't argue with this car on the basis of metal for the money. Before I saw the spec sheet, I expected that the Nitro would go head to head price-wise with something like a Nissan Murano. But of course I'd forgotten Dodge's commitment to sell its cars at prices that read like a misprint. Whereas you could expect to pay around £30,000 for a Murano, the Nitro starts at less than £19,000. Suddenly you're faced with a vehicle that younger buyers will be looking to trade up to from their Ford Focus. It's easy to see how the Nitro could shift some big numbers. The other similarly priced vehicles in its class, cars like the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Kia Sorento, have nothing like the Dodge's street cred. Just look at the thing. It's absolutely dripping in attitude, with vents, big flared wheel arches, huge door handles that look like the pulls on an industrial freezer, an aggressive high waist with a glasshouse that looks like a gun turret and a front grille that looks as if it's about to suck in inquisitive children. The split-effect front headlamps are an interesting design touch, as is the big cross detailed Dodge family front end. There's also possibly the biggest moulded plastic bumper section I think I've ever seen, the replacement cost of which doesn't bear thinking about.Were I in my early twenties once again, this is a car that I'd be figuring out how to afford.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Dodge Nitro Range : NITRO DELUXE]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Ticked off with apologetic 4x4s? The Nitro is Dodge's in your face response. Andy Enright ReportsThere is a school of thought that will find the Dodge Nitro utterly abhorrent. These are the people who froth at the mouth at gas-guzzling 4x4s, who will see the Nitro's ostentatious looks and obviously road-going chassis and instantly bemoan the fact that this vehicle represents all that's wrong with motoring today. Reactionary local authorities may take a similar tack but rest assured - the Nitro makes a good deal more sense than its arriviste looks would suggest.It's based on the Jeep Liberty chassis and recent `dust to dust' reports commissioned by CNW Marketing Research of Oregon studied the environmental impact of vehicles from building through scrapping, and found that the Liberty was in the 8th slot . In case you're wondering, Maybach came in dead last, in company with the Volkswagen Phaeton, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Arnage, and a trio of Audis. The Toyota Prius ranked number 74 in the 96 cars studied in the report, so you'll not have too much to worry about next time a Prius driver gives the Nitro a supercilious once-over. True, the entry level petrol engine is a 3.7-litre V6 that is cripplingly thirsty when you flex your right ankle a bit, but there's also a very modern 2.8-litre diesel that will be of far more interest to UK buyers. As indeed will be the price of the Nitro. Most would figure that the Nitro would go head to head pricewise with something like a Nissan Murano but they'd be forgetting Dodge's commitment to sell its cars at prices that read like a misprint. Whereas you could expect to pay around £30,000 for a Murano, the Nitro starts at less than £23,000. Suddenly you're faced with a vehicle that younger buyers will be looking to trade up to from their Ford Focus. It's easy to see how the Nitro could shift some big numbers. The other similarly priced vehicles in its class, cars like the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Kia Sorento, have nothing like the Dodge's street cred. Just look at the thing. It's absolutely dripping in attitude, with vents, big flared wheel arches, chromed alloys on the 3.7-litre model, huge door handles that look like the pulls on an industrial freezer, an aggressive high waist with a glasshouse that looks like a gun turret and a front grille that looks as if it's about to suck in inquisitive children. The split-effect front headlamps are an interesting design touch, as is the big cross detailed Dodge family front end. There's also possibly the biggest moulded plastic bumper section I think I've ever seen, the replacement cost of which doesn't bear thinking about. Still, were I in my early twenties once again, this is a car that I'd be figuring out how to afford."The Nitro is going to score big with its young urban target market"How does it drive? Who cares? You buy this thing for its looks and its attitude. Sit inside and you'll feel rather perched atop the thing, the hip point of the Nitro being fairly high. Move away and you'll feel the weight of vehicle right from the outset. Whilst the 1,888kg kerb weight is enough to steamroller a lot of smaller imperfections in the road and the chassis feels pleasantly rigid, there's a slight ponderous feel to the front end. Really try to drive through that feeling and the Nitro tracks surprisingly flat and true, thanks in no small part to its thoroughly tarmac-biased independent suspension, plus squat and dive under hard acceleration and braking is also effectively quelled. The lack of a dead pedal when driving the Nitro in earnest can become a factor. So are the rather chunky windscreen pillars that will have you leaning out of and consequently losing support from your seat right when you need it most, in tight corners or when negotiating roundabouts. The 210bhp 3.7-litre engine isn't as effective as its rather macho power output suggests. It's marshalled by a four-speed automatic with a very high top ratio, meaning that for most of your driving you'll be being shuttled between the remaining three gears. This can make the engine feel rather strained at times and constantly reminds you how much unleaded it's throwing down its neck. Again that weight is an issue: the 3.7-litre Nitro's power to weight ratio easily bettered by a vehicle like a 1.6-litre CitroÃ«n C2 VTS. Still, this isn't a vehicle that you'll buy for its all-out performance. It's probably not even a car you'll buy for its excellent practicality, although getting four of your mates on board in comfort is an asset. What matters for target customers are looks, affordability, a decent stereo system and the fact that not every car park Joe will have one. The Nitro certainly scores on the first three although it may well become a victim of its own success. There's definitely plenty of scope for pimping your ride too, with plenty of available space for fitting additional subs, amps and LCD screens. The standard fascia is a little bit American insofar as it does the bare essentials without too much pretence of being built from the sturdiest materials but it's functional and only the very base SE model looks rather dull. Move on up to the SXT and R/T models and the dash is finished in a metallic plastic that lifts the cabin. The main instruments are clearly presented and are shaded by a trio of cowls and although the steering wheel adjusts for rake, it's lacking a telescopic column for reach adjustment. Taller or long-legged drivers may find a lack of seat travel an issue and headroom isn't as generous as you might at first think. That high seating position has a lot to answer for. Rear seat occupants will find little to grouse about and there are some quite smart stowage solutions in the luggage bay. The Nitro might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's easy to see it landing right in the middle of its potentially lucrative target market. If it's hard to imagine what that would be, transport yourself to a time when you were 18, just starting University and imagine how you'd feel rolling up to the fresher's ball in this Dodge rather than arriving in a stinking Primera minicab. This could be a genuine hit and really establish the Dodge brand in the UK.Facts At A Glance CAR: Dodge Nitro PRICES: £22,795 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 14-15 CO2 EMISSIONS: 228-283g/km PERFORMANCE: [3.7 petrol] 0-60mph - 10.3s / Max Speed 118mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: [2.8 CRD] (urban) 26.2mpg / (extra urban) 38.7mpg / (combined) 32.8mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Twin front and side and curtain airbags, ABS /WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: Length/Width/Height, 4544/1857/1776mm]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Dodge Jpurney : CHEAP SEATS]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - June Neary confronts her family holiday demons in the seven-seat Dodge Journey.Most people won't have quite the level of mental scarring that I suffer from when it comes to long car journeys but upon learning that I was about to test a family-sized MPV called the Dodge Journey, I embarked on a particularly vivid flashback. Through the haze I saw a car-packed motorway stretching out ahead into infinity, from over my shoulder came the terrible screams of truculent children. "He's got my crayons." "She's spilt my drink." "Are we there yet?" Projectiles, from action figures to jelly beans, ricochet around the cabin like machine gun fire and there's the intermittent thudding of the little darlings kicking the back of my seat. I emerged from my thousand yard stare with a shudder. Long journeys with kids can be the stuff of nightmares but could this American MPV make them any less dodgy? The Dodge Journey is a large seven-seater MPV. Not one of those five seat people carriers with a couple of fold-away chairs in the boot but a proper seven seater with seven seats that you can fit seven fully-grown people in. To achieve this kind of interior capacity, the designers have made it quite a size. At close to five meters long, it looked a daunting prospect as I approached it across the office car park. The other thing to mention is that the Dodge has a bit more road-presence than you'd expect from a large MPV. It has the look of a 4x4 about it with its chunky grille and flared wheelarches.It's the interior that Dodge Journey buyers will be most interested in. Those seven seats all present a decent amount of space so long as you're not intending to keep a pair of adults cooped up in the third row for any length of time. The all-important middle row is particularly spacious. It can be split 60/40, with each section able to slide individually back and forth for more flexibility. Access to the rearmost seats is also very good with a tug on the lever on the outside seats of the middle row prompting them to fold and slide right forward, leaving plenty of room to enter with dignity. Of course, with all three rows in place, baggage room is at a premium, with only 303 litres available. If luggage is your priority, all of the seats can of course be folded flat to present an extensive load floor with 1914 litres of space. This includes the passenger seat which can be dropped down to further boost the available volume or give parents an unrestricted view to the little monsters in the back. The cabin features an unusually large number of very useful storage spaces. You can, for example, store 12 drinks cans in two under-floor bins behind the front-row seats and this car's storage bins even have removable, washable liners â€" ideal for handling spillages. There's a "Chill Zone" air-conditioned storage bin in the glovebox for two more drinks cans, and the front passenger seat can "Flip 'n Stow", revealing a storage area under the cushion and forming a table-top when folded. If you fold down the backs of the "Tilt 'n Slide" centre-row seats, a pair of cup-holders and a storage recess are revealed for third-row inhabitants. Dodge has definitely put some thought into how this car will be used.The Journey is propelled by one of two engines, a petrol or a diesel. The 2.4-litre petrol option is nothing to get over-excited about and is included largely to deliver an attractive entry-level price and to sate those who still can't abide diesel. It has a respectable 168bhp at its disposal but lacks the mid-range strength of the 138bhp 2.0-litre diesel. This is a pleasanter engine from a driving perspective than its petrol counterpart, though is a little noisier. You'd have to say that the Dodge Journey drives like the big American MPV that it is, so it's not the kind of car you'd chuck about the lanes. To be fair, it doesn't lean as much as you'd expect through the bends, thanks to stiff anti-roll bars. This roll stiffness makes the steering quite precise, and the Journey can be hustled through twists with more vigour than you'd think. It's certainly comfortable on the straights and so long as you take things easy, will be more than adequate for family use. The diesel engine is available with the twin-clutch semi-automatic gearbox pioneered by Volkswagen but for most buyers, the six-speed manual that comes as standard is probably a better bet. The entry-level petrol model gets a five-speed manual `box.Prices for the Journey look attractive, sitting in the £17,000 to £23,000 bracket. That's about 10% less than obvious rivals. The old American tactic of supplying lots of metal for the money has obviously been central to the thinking behind the vehicle. Equipment is hardly lacking either with three-zone climate control, tyre-pressure sensors, a 6 CD stereo and electric everything all coming as standard. Another boon is the safety kit which includes ESP stability control and curtain airbags running the length of the vehicle. The CRD diesel engine that's offered in the Journey is the one to choose if you're concerned with costs. The 2.4-litre petrol engine isn't the most efficient of units and its 32mpg with 209g/km emissions may initiate a few second thoughts. The CRD comes up with a far more creditable 43.5mpg and a 170g/km rating for CO2. Insurance groups range between 10 and 11. The Dodge Journey has a bit more character about it than the majority of large MPV products and looks attractively priced compared to its rivals too. It's not the slickest package in this sector in terms of build quality or driving dynamics but it's a big, honest, user-friendly car that's well worthy of your consideration. Anything that can render a long car journey with four kids in the back any less traumatic gets my vote.]]></description>
