The Best SUV Ever

I have owned my pathfinder for over a year now it easily fits my family comfortly, and i love the extra compartments in the back! I have taken my pathfinder down snowmobile trails and off roading and still no proublems. The 4wd in this SUV is 2nd to none! The power is beast! Recomended to everybody!

What a great suv

Great suv, reliable, no problems of any kind. Awesome BOSE stereo. In my opinion '04 are so much better looking than '05+. Gas millage is not bad at all. If you cant decide if you should buy this vehicle I will tell you DO!. I'm sad that I have to sell it. (Got a vehicle from work)

Awesome truck

I bought my 04 Pathfinder in 06 w/18000. I'm close to 80,000 now and I've had no problems what-so-ever with this SUV. I feel very comfertable driving in in all conditions. I've also taken it on many long road trips and I can get 370miles on a full take using regular grade fuel. Everyone who rides/drives falls in love. I couldn't agree more that this year/style is by far a lot better than the 05-current pathfinder in both style and quality. The only thing I would change would be leg room for passengers in the back seat. If you're bigger or taller than average, than it'll be a little cramped. I would with out a doubt recommend this vehicle to anyone, friend or family.

Best looking of ALL Past/Future Pathfinders

This is the best looking PF of them all, or of all Nissan SUVs. Better looking than the ambulance-roof Xterra, the 2005 boxy PF, the giant bulky Armada that try to steal its good name. Very reliable, no problems so far, decent interor, not too big, not too heavy, very solid body,very stable on the road during windy day,very firm on the snowy ground, very powerful from the stop light. Fuel economy is just okay, I guess you can not it have both ways: power and fuel economy, and I prefer power myself. Don't listen to J.D. Power or any other so-called experts, they are entitled to their opinions, listen to the REAL owners and draw your own conclusions !!! Thanks to some minor tunings along with the K&N FIPK GEN2 cold-air intake & custom designed 2.5" stainless steel dual exhaust using Gibson super-flow muffler, this baby sounds mean & blasting away from 0 to 60 in less than 6 seconds. As a hot rod enthusiast, I am very happy with its performace on dry roads and in the snow (I would be stuck in the snow had I bought the Ford Mustang GT). I would definitely buy this SUV again without a second thought.

Mr. X

I bought this 4 x 4 SUV brand new in July 2004, thus far there is no problem what so ever. It has sun roof, automatic climate control, Bose 6 CD changer,AM-FM/Satelite radio/Cassette Player & everything powered a little over for 27k with 3.5k year end factory rebate. It performed beautifully as expected with plenty of accelaration torque. I drove it through 2 cold winter seasons in Chicago suburbs like a hot knife cutting through butter. It's lighter and less bulky than the 4-Runner, which I looked at first before I decided to buy the Pathfinder (sorry Toyota !, because it's a better buy despites what the biased critics said). Well it's true, because the Nissan VQ engine is the only engine that has won 11 years straight of the "Ten best engine awards" up until now, not even Toyota. Just FYI, it has the same exact engine as the 350Z (VQ35DE).
