Why should I also consider these?
There is no other mid-size SUV that delivers the styling impact of the 2008 Dodge Nitro.
However, there are better-driving mid-size SUVs out there.
While the base Pontiac Torrent isn't one of our favorite vehicles, with the GXP package and the 3.6-liter V-6, the Pontiac is far nicer on road than the Dodge.
2009 Pontiac Torrent
While the GXP edition of 2009 Pontiac Torrent is the pick of the line, plenty of other vehicles in the segment are more refined and more modern.
2008 Acura RDX
The 2008 Acura RDX gets its edge from turbo power and crisp handling, but it can feel a little nervous and cramped.
2008 Toyota Highlander
Most Americans prefer mushy white bread, and the 2008 Toyota Highlander is a larger, high-quality "loaf" that will satisfy most every consumer.
2008 Toyota RAV4
The 2008 Toyota RAV4 brings a little more space than most compact SUVs without a mid-size price.
