Great Gas Mileage and Stylish

This car meets all of our needs and is roomy on the inside. Gas mileage is excellent for an SUV. Interior features exceeded my expectations.

Needs recall.

Cheap quality parts make the vehicle a poor choice. Cooling Fan assemblies ALL, and I mean ALL go out at low mileage. Some go out as early as 20k miles. Mine died at 140k miles The cooling fans of you engine should run continuous for 5 years or 150k miles. Nissan put bushings instead or roller bearings and they will not survive the hear and use demanded of them , the bearings ALL go out . The fan motor ceases and then the engine overheats and burns up. The motor is a 15,000 $ fix . Most drivers are mechanically illiterate and will not notice the problem till the engine is gone. SO..... if you need a dependable family car that will not eat you alive in repairs, and are not VERY mechanically savy this is not the car for you, and or until there is a recall and the motor bearing issue is resolved.

Nissan Pathfinder is the Perfect Family Vehicle

This is my third Nissan vehicle and the Pathfinder is/was the perfect family vehicle for two growing teen boys - and their friends. Interior is really roomy and comfortable, especially for road trips. If you don't want a minivan, but you're craving for more room and a sleeker body style you should consider a Pathfinder.

Love the new bodystyle!

Drives great and is very roomy. Love all the cup holders and USB ports! We love Nissans! Currently have 3 in our family. Love bodystyle and color, very sporty looking.

Great buy

I walked into the dealership asking for a 3 row pathfinder, and DJ found one! It was used within my budget and the family loves it.

very fuel efficient and reliable yet a large SUV

Nissan Pathfinder is a very reliable, powerful vehicle with continuously variable transmission that makes it the most economical large SUV I ever owned. What I have is model S with minimal luxuries installed. Original vehicle did not come with a bluetooth and navigation but I had a after market audio installed for $300 that added a nice bluetooth and much better audio with navigation system to the car. I do NOT mind not having power seats as I paid less than half of the price and who needs to change the seat every day. I think it is an excellent car for the money. Don't go for the cheaper brands as they are really not cheap only bad looking and less reliable.

Blown away for the value

We test drove an Acura MDX and a Toyota Highlander before buying the Pathfinder. All three are great SUVs. And I think anyone would be happy with them. But the amount of value the Nissan has compared to the other two is outstanding. We were able to get a lot more features for a very similar price. Super happy with how it drives and how all the features work. Everything is easily accessible and smartly designed. Definitely happy with this purchase.

Simple yet perfect

Perfect vehicle for children. Lots of room. Fits car seats comfortably and even the third row has enough room for adults! (I went back there once!) interior simple but who needs a ton of gadgets?! More things to break in the end! It?s a great car!

Exactly what I wanted

I absolutely love this vehicle. It's a very smooth ride, has 3rd row seating and also has manual 4WD. Great family vehicle that actually looks like a SUV and not a minivan.
