Redesigned version

More stylish, no this is no longer an off-road SUV, but it is a tech-savvy easy drive. Tow capacity is 5000 lbs so an 18-23 ft camper should be no problem. The unloved CVT is a plus, not a minus. I DON'T miss rough shifting and don't understand why people put CVT down, it gets me better gas mileage and gives a smoother ride.

Great family car

I love this car. For the money there?s a lot of extras! Panoramic moon roof, memory seats, heated seats! It?s been great for my family.

Very reliable truck

I love this truck. I was lucky to get a pathfinder with leather seats. This vehicle is great for families who play sports or travel.

The most stylish car I?ve owned!

I like the exterior design, the silver color, and complimentary interior. The cargo area is variable as both back seat rows can fold down. Middle row seats adjust providing needed leg room. Instruments on dash are conveniently located and easy to maneuver. The ride is smooth and quiet. I am considering upgrading to a 2018 model. The newer models have better quality upholstery, and the console and door armrests are now vinyl. There are more USB ports, also.

Nice comfy car to drive

Really nice car for trips and driving around town. There is plenty of room. Third row is for children. Would have been nicer if front seat passenger side you could raise the leave.

Falling apart

I bought this care in 2014 it was a 2013 Nissan pathfinder. I have driven it a little over 41,000 miles and it is falling apart. Door handles and failing. Called Nissan and of course not under warranty. Replace brakes, Tires, now the sun visors and in my face when I drive. Quoted price to fix up to 200 dollars each. There was a recall on the vehicle for airbags and transmission problems and every time I take it to the Nissan dealer they claim it is fixed and guess what airbag light on passenger side is still not working. I have owned several Nissans and other cars I have never seen a vehicle so shabbily constructed. I am terrible disappointed in this purchase wanted everyone to know. STAY AWAY FROM Nissan
