"This vehicle might not get the best mpg but the reliablity and performance more than make up for it. It will take you anywhere you want to go and back. Because of the Pathfinder I'am going to buy another one IF this one ever quits on me."

"I bought this SUV a few years ago, it's great! My only down side to it is that I usually get 16- 17 miles to the gallon and that's just not alot these days! But it's very reliable, I've had a couple of brake downs over time but it's mainly small things like a hose (mostly just alot of labor cost) and my starter went out. The only other problems I've had seems to be mostly with the parts holding the vehicle up and stopping it (I think because it's a REALLY Heavy car). For example: My Struts, Shocks, some other parts down there holding the car to the wheels.... and I also go threw brake pads fairly quickly! But, no real major problems considering it has 120k miles on it. On a side note, I was in a small accident in this car over the summer and I messed up the other vehicle pretty badly and my car... really didn't look much different at all! That's why I call it my Tank! So, I feel pretty safe in it now. So, over all I do like my car alot. If it could just get better gas mileage (which to some people this may be good gas mileage) I would consider it to be a "Perfect Reasonable Reliable Vehicle"."

"I love this car but getting only 14 mpg around town is killing me! Supremely well designed for comfort and versatility. 106k miles so far with no major repairs. The perfect blend of car and truck. Buy one!"
