Happy to have it

I bought this pathfinder used with 73300 miles on it. The pathfinder performs well especially acceleration. Lots of cargo room and storage areas. I am very pleased with this purchase.

The most powerful car I?ve owned.

This car handles very well and with power. I?m not super impressed with the exterior in silver but she is a decent looker. I wish there was a little bit more room especially for the first 2 seats but I am adjusting well. Overall, I really like the 2012 Pathfinder. What I like the most is how strong it runs, 4 wheel drive and nice sound system.

Tough long lasting SUV.

This vehicle held up really well. We miss it. Reliable and well put together. Wasn?t very refined but it isn?t a luxury car.

Great in the snow!!!

The Pathfinder is a very reliable SUV. It's spacious and has lots of legroom. Great on the highway when driving long distance. Has lots of storage space. Had a third row seat for extra passengers. I would definitely recommend this truck to others. Not expensive to fix if something needs repairing. Good on gas and did not have to fill up that often. Great truck for family and friends.

Excellent value for an SUV with 4WD and 7 seats!

The third row seating is very small but serves its purpose. The interior is nice but not very comfortable. Very roomy in the front and second row of seating. Excellent value for an SUV.

Very good car

This is an excellent car. I am very happy with it. It performs well and rides and handles very good. Even though I bought is used the interior looked like new.

Excellent Vehicle!

I have owned my 2012 Nissan Pathfinder for over a year. It has been very reliable and problem free. It also has a lot of room inside. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a great vehicle at a reasonable price point.

Great Vehicles

I am about to get my fifth Nissan Pathfinder since 1995. First one went over 200k miles, second would probably be still going if it would not have been hit by a teenager, third one was good until the seven seaters came out and I upgraded. The only reason I am getting another one now is I like the older body style and need to get into one before they are all higher in miles. They have all performed well being very reliable. My maintenance costs have been low and they are all around great vehicles. Ready for my next, and am going to miss my current on as we've been many places.
