Upgraded my mommy car!

Love my Pathfinder! We needed a bigger car with the 3rd row and the Nissan Pathfinder meets all our needs. USB ports, easy to use display screen, lots of cup holders and rear plugs for powering multiple divices. Lots of room with all seats laid down. Big engine for those needing power and great on gas mileage.

¿Mejoraron CVT?

¿Tiene la misma cvt del 2013, la cual ha tenido fallas y quejas en todas partes? ¿La mejoraron? Conozco usuarios que han cambiado caja hasta cuatro veces.

A secure feeling ridding or driving this vehicle.

Excellent towing capacity, comfortably seats 7, V6 engine that runs on regular unleaded and plenty of power to spare. The Granchildren also love the seating possibilities.

Best SUV I've ever owned or leased

This SUV was more then I expected in comfort, power, reliability, safety features, and looks. The starting wheel warmer in Minnesota is amazing as well as remote start and remote start from all app. All wheel drive can be locked into 4 wheel drive, which up here is a plus. Need to check out the Pathfinder for your next SUV!

Love my car

It's very versatile. It's an 8 passenger vehicle when I need it or the back lays down for lots of room and most of the time it's a 5 passenger. This vehicle has a smooth and comfortable ride with lots of power. We love having the capability to use all wheel drive, 4 wheel drive or just regular drive and a great look. Would buy this vehicle again ,

Great vehicle, lots of room!

this vehicle has met my needs and some. Even with the 3rd row of seats up there is still ample trunk space. Comfortable through-out, back up camera is awesome, ease of folding chairs in back. Stereo is good.

Reliability of Pathfinder

After putting 10,000 miles on this Pathfinder I have a few items to report: 1. The left outside rear view mirror on the door is too big. At night you cannot make clear/clean left turns because the mirror blocks your view. I am 5'10" tall and big enough to view the mirror but can't see around it. 2. The interior (not leather) is ok. I have charcoal black interior and the left arm rest on the door is very difficult to keep clean. Seems to attract and hold dirt.

Never buy a Nissan again

I purchased my 2017 pathfinder new. I was promised a towing kit to be installed which never happened. That may be a dealership issue not a Nissan issue. However, back to the SUV itself. The rear view camera has had issues since I've had the car. It cuts in and out. The transmission is complete garbage. At 20,000 miles it's slipping in hills already, and won't shift into 6th gear on the highway without putting it into neutral and back into drive. At 36,000 miles the radiator fan is rubbing the shroud. It misfires when cold. I wasted $40,000 and never will buy a Nissan again.

Great SUV

The Pathfinder has all the creature comforts you need. Very comfortable....it?s a SUV. I?ve taken this vehicle on several long trips and been very comfortable. The V6 matched with the CVT provides plenty of power.
