"Nissan is a very great reliable manufacturer brand. Nissan has been making great luxury cars since 2007 from the new Altima to the luxurious ever Maxima back in 2009 now its 2013 Nissan did it again with three new great models Altima, Sentra and the all new Pathfinder. This Pathfinder is a great crossover has all the bells and whistles in its class new sleek body style and upgraded luxurious interior like the Infiniti. It now has a CVT thats good but don't let the shutter problem stop you buying this luxury SUV its better than ever the CVT does that when i purchased my wonderful amazing Altima back in 2007 it did the same when test drove it off the lot people that never driven a CVT before thinks they are not go but when you are used to driving a conventional automatic transmission shifting to 1st and 2nd gears the CVT is just gearless that's because its brand new and has to get used to the gearless change. The Pathfinder is very smooth and has great handling now i'm loving the new Pathfinder its best and most luxurious crossover ever built by Nissan product. Go see one at your local Nissan dealer this is cars.com so just write a review if you enjoy it or noticed the shuttering but don't let that stop you from buying the Pathfinder if in the market for a new Nissan God Bless!!!"

"Overall vehicle is nice. Comfortable drive and seems to have enough power. There are a couple of issues. The outside mirrors are very hard to see out of during sunny day because of reflection from dashboard. Poor engineering on their part. There are buttons on the drivers lower left side dashboard for a number of items. They are very hard to get to and unsafe to use if driving. Couple of items I think Nissan should have looked at are power mirrors and power folding seats in the rear. Would have been nice for such a expensive vehicle. Ford has done it, Nissan could have."

"Owned a 2005 Acura MDX. Had to replace air compressor and radiator. After pouring money in the MDX, we thought we could wait another year to buy a new car. We saw the 2013 Pathfinder but wanted to wait for the 2014 model. Unfortunately our MDX is no longer reliable and decided to get the 2013 Pathfinder. Best decision we ever made! The car is just superb! Truly deserving of a 5-star rating. This is our first Nissan - we should have gotten one a long time ago!"

"It is a great car and an excellent value for money. The Engine and the frame of the car is same as its Luxury counterpart Infiniti JX35. The interior is also very similar. Loved the comfort in the car and the access to third row is very easy. Third row seating and access to it is the best I have seen in its class. Drive is very stable and reliable. Very good color options for both interior and exterior. Just a wonderful car."

"Let me first be clear that this is the wife's car. We went together to test drive it and drove it home the very same night. Very nice quality to the interior. Seats are very comfortable. Great visibility out of the greenhouse. She purchased the SL which comes with leather seats. The problem I have is with the CVT. Yes, she does get the "shudder" at low speeds/RPMs, but it is not constant. The CVT is slow to react at acceleration. Not sure what she is getting as far as MPGs. What I do know is she has about 1500 miles on it (purchased in March) and the last couple weeks she has been to the gas station at least two times each week. Her daily commute is about 50 miles a day. Apologize that I don't have more accurate numbers. Drives very "trucky". Some SUVs drive like a car...not this one. We paid $34K out the door, tax, plates, and all. I would recommend the vehicle but wait for the 2014 model year."

"I have had my 2013 Nissan Pathfinder for about three weeks now. So far I love it. Much more room than my Nissan Murano. The ride is very smooth, the engine noise could be quieter. Nissan advertises the Pathfinder to have more efficient fuel economy than previous models. Not sure though why when i fill up, the trip computer says I have 275 miles to an empty tank. My Nissan Murano read most of the time over 400 miles to an empty tank. I know this is calculated on driving speeds, braking, acceleration, etc. but is there some kind of miscalculation? I hope to see this number improve. Other than that, it is a great SUV. We are still getting aquainted with each other."

"My wife and I owned 3 Muranos consecutively but were intrigued by the new Pathfinder. I drove one as a test drive and we loved it. We think of it as basically a larger more capable Murano. In fact we like the Pathfinders interior a little better than the Muranos. I'm 6'1" and have lots of space and comfort. My wife is 5'2" and can easily find a great driving position. The pre programmed seating helps in our SL. Reliability should NOT be a problem as I have owned Nissans for 11 years and never had any major mechanical isues."

"We test drove the 2013 Traverse and the Durango and almost bought one of the two until we drove the pathfinder. I was set on the Traverse and my wife wanted the Durango. Well the Pathfinder won us both over. Very comfortable ride and looks great. We never even considered this vehicle since the old version was not something we though looked very good. So Nissan really did a great job redesigning the new 2013 Pathfinder. Rides so smooth and had all the safety features we were looking for and then some and has plenty of room for the family and friends. Great buy... ."

""Nissan hit the family vehicle mark with the redesigned Pathfinder. We had the following constraints when searching for a new vehicle to replace our 1997 Volvo 850 Wagon: 1) Vehicle Safety, 2) Fit a family of six comfortably, 3) Get good gas mileage, 4) Not be a minivan. We looked at ALL of the mid-sized three-row CUVs on the market. Because the 2013 Pathfinder is a new model we used the recently completed Infinity JX35 crash test results for safety (the cars are very similar in design and are made on the same assembly line in TN). Many models (including most of the premium brands) were knocked-off the list because the third-row did not fit a 6? person without their head hitting the roof. The vehicles that made it through the third-row room filter were the GM (Traverse, Acadia, Enclave family of vehicles), the Toyota Highlander (borderline, headroom in 3rd row), the Honda Pilot, and the Nissan Pathfinder. Of these vehicles the Pathfinder provided the best gas mileage. I believe the key to the high mileage is the CVT. We have the SV model with 4WD and have averaged over 26 mpg on the highway (traveling at 70 mph) and average ~24 mpg driving around our rural town. The car is the quietest car I have ever driven, is extremely comfortable on the road, and has a very solid feel. I have not noticed any of the transmission issues that others have reported. The interior is well designed and practical. Rearview visibility is poor, but the rearview camera alleviates this concern, you do need to keep the camera lens clean in wet or snowy weather (we have driven the vehicle in both.) I would strongly recommend giving this car a hard look if you need a practical 6+ passenger family vehicle with good comfort and mileage. We are looking forward to many years in this vehicle and hope that our initial extremely favorable impression of this car continues.""
