We upgraded our 2015 Quest to a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder.

We upgraded our 2015 Quest to a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder. We absolutely love it! The car has a great ride, great features, and does great on gas considering it being a big SUV. We have had the pathfinder for almost a year now and we have never had a single mechanical issue with the car except maintenance. If you want a car that lasts forever I recommend buying one!

Transmission died at 84,000 miles.

Transmission died at 84,000 miles. Not covered under factory warranty. Nissan refused to help with the $7500 for a new tranny, which comes with unlimited mileage....Its almost as if they knew the original transmissions were no good, hence the 60,000 mile limit on the warranty.

Do not buy

Started burning oil at 48,000 miles and has a rear main seal leak. Recommended to replace motor but was later told that all the motors are eventually having this problem.

Need longer warranty to cover all the little stuff

I bought my Pathy at the end of March 2023, with less than 20,000 miles on it. Since then I have had repeated problems with the backup camara and the door lock actuators. The console cover around the radio started rattling, the tag light covers were sliding around in the openings and one of the tires leaked. Took it to Lithia Springs Nissan (where I purchased it) repeatedly. They never really fixed the camara and locks. Now the warranty that would cover those items is expired. Nissan definitely needs a longer bumper-to-bumper warranty, or better quality.

Almost perfect for me

I love this Nissan SUV. Is more than I was hoping for. The only negative comment I have after 2 1/2 weeks of owning it is that it is too easy for someone to tamper with your gasoline because there is no lock on it. Just push the door and it pops open. NOT SAFE!

I LOVE my 2020 Nissan Pathfinder!

I LOVE my 2020 Nissan Pathfinder! I purchased the Pathfinder as it drove and handled smoothly with power. I test drove the Rogue, Altman, and Maxima, and the Pathfinder had, hands down the best ride, handling, and comfort. I love that it never let's me lock my keys in the car. I love my Caspian blue exterior, and palomino interior. I love its sexy curves, and the durability of the seat material. It could be a little more comfortable, but overall, I LOVE it!

Love my Pathfinder

Bought this car brand new. Have had it for 3 years now. Absolutely love it. Never any issues. Car was 100% from day one. Yes, would get another one. Got the SL. Love all the features.. Would have to trade down quite a bit to get a new car at the same price.

A good family 3 row SUV.

I am a long-time Nissan owner. I recently purchased a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder SV with 10,800 miles. It is comfortable to drive but don't expect to pass, on a 2 lane highway, unless you have a lot of room. I would rate the Halogen headlights as Fair. I upgraded them to Good+. The HVAC/Infotainment system is antiquated with NO aftermarket upgrades available. The cruise control is quirky. You either love it or hate it. The Pathfinder does have a very good towing capacity for an SUV. The fuel economy is reasonable for the size of this vehicle. The SV trim level does have most of the common safety features. This trim level has a cloth interior which I prefer. The reliability of this vehicle should be very good assuming you keep up with routine maintenance..

It's a very versatile car

I was trying to replace my Xterra. There is plenty of room, it has a nice comfortable interior, not as rugged as Xterra. It is a nice quiet ride.
