After 20 years of Toyotas....

...this was a big step, but it was time for something different (my last three were Highlanders). So far, it's failed to disappoint. The Pathfinder is better equipped for towing, has comfy seats, and a little more interior room. The engine is powerful, quiet, and the 9 speed ZF auto trans is smoother and behaves better than the 8 speed in the Highlander. Rain-sensing wipers more easily confused than Toyota's. Headlights could be brighter even thought they're LED's. Restyled body looks great, but that's just my opinion. 24 mpg combined is better than I thought it would do. Tighter turning circle than Highlander. I miss the opening rear glass on the hatch (which the newest Highlanders don't have), but the auto hatch opens faster. Shifter takes getting used to, but is fine once you do. Lots of doodads and gadgets means there is a learning curve, which is true for most cars these days. Reliability? I gave it four stars, but really can't tell after three weeks. Time will tell but so far so good.

2023 Pathfinder is the best

In my research for the best bang for the buck SUVs I looked at about all available models. The Pathfinder clearly stood out as the best. It looks great, loaded with Tech and has been extremely reliable. It is by far the best value for your money!

The car is fine but parts are a problem

I am giving a good review of the car because I like how it drives but repairing it after a minor accident when I was hit from behind was a nightmare and took us 5 (five) months. Lack of parts, and complicated electronics were the culprits. Our is a 4 WD LS and we had to call NIssan USA twice already to get parts for this car. Gas mileage could be better also. 26-27 mpg is the best you can on the highway if you drive no faster than 75 mph. Roominess and comfort are big pluses that were behind our decision to buy the car. There is no lock on the gas door and that should be addressed by Nissan as all other Nissans we got had it locked.

Great Multi Purpose SUV!

After looking at the full market for 3 row SUVs the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder was the right choice top purchase. I bought the Rock Creek version and have not been disappointed by anything with this SUV. It handled amazingly in the snow and ice and I can't wait to take it camping this Spring and Summer. It has plenty of room and the road noise is very little considering the extra large tires that come with it. My kids love the space in the back. My only issue is that the passenger seat in the front cannot be adjusted to sit higher. For a shorter person to sit over there it makes them feel small if they can't sit up and enjoy the ride a little better. Overall, love this SUV and compared to the price of others I would recommend to everyone. Other SUVs in its class can cost up to 10k more for maybe 2-3 extra small features. In my opinion this just isn't worth it for the money.

Best car dealership. Nissan Of Greer

The vehicle drives and ride excellent. The salesman was very knowledgeable about the vehicle as well. Nissan of Greer dealership is the best. Eric Shell did a wonderful job of showing me this vehicle. I would like to give him 10********** Stars if it was permittable. He also showed me all the interior instruments that came with the vehicle.

Great ride, but expect to lose a few key features

2023 Platinum 4WD with <1000 miles. So far the car has been perfect. I fell in love with the redesign when I fist saw it. The interior is HUGE compared to other cars in its class with nifty storage; however you can't only pay attention to the on-paper specs because this vehicle has much more room in person (especially in the head/shoulder and leg room compartments), but it doesn't drive like a full-size SUV. The engine and transmission are nice - powerful and smooth and the ride is plush and luxurious. The only downside is that Nissan seems to be nickel & diming people for options in the 2023 that were standard features in 2022 (removing LED fogs, puddle lights, engine cover, 12V chargers...), and when you pay $55k+ for a vehicle those things should be standard.
