Watch out for transmission issues

I love everything about this car but the transmission. At 79,000 miles I had to have a whole new transmission put in this car. This sadly will be my last Nissan. I drove a Murano before and traded it in with 230,000 miles with no issues but with the history of the transmission issues and Nissan I won’t be fooled again. Who really wants to spend an additional $5000 on your car that’s still pretty new with no assistance from Nissan.

Best value for your money

I’m a hard shopper I look for value and the Pathfinder easily won over the Highlander and Pilot. I also looked at Sorento’s. For the same features and upgrades the Highlander and Pilot would have cost me another 4 to 6 k. They were all nice but I will like the savings even more. I did get a certified SUV. Traded in my BMW and don’t miss it. See for yourself.

Reliable and great car

Hi I currently own this vehicle and I am super impressed with its performance and it is great for our families transportation needs. It has plenty of room and is very comfortable. We had taken a trip from Pensacola to Gatlinburg TN and back, we didn’t have not 1 problem with the vehicle. The car overall is great and I will definitely recommend this vehicle to my friends and others!

Worth money

This SUV will check mark lot of your needs, but will lack technology in comparison. But comfort and style covers its deficiencies mostly. Lower price is also a good factor to buy it

I Love My Nissan

This SUV meets all of my needs. It's the perfect size, the gas mileage is great and I love the interior & exterior styling. I've had it for 2 months now and I'm loving it.
