Pros4x4 plus gas mileage Consrust

Awesome — The performance of this SUV is lacking. The 3.3L is under- powered and it feels as if it works to hard. The gas mileage isnt to bad however. I get about 19-20mpg around town, and for a vehicle that has 4x4 that is very good. The build quality of the vehicle is incredible! Ive never had anything go wrong with it.

The Wifes Suv — Dependable truck, but it can be costly to fix. Rust seems to be an issue but all in all it is solid. Rear suspension has some issues but it is fixable by your average guy with the right tools. This is my second one and if gas wasn;t so stinking expensive I'd upgrade to a newer one. | ||

Love The Pathfinder - I Have Owned Several Of Them Since 1988. — I have owned this car ever since my return from the Philippines. I actually owned an a 1990 Terrano which is the Japanese version of the Pathfinder while I was in Mindanao, Philippines - great car there as well. I had also bought the 2 door Pathfinder in 1988 - It was a great SUV then as it is now... Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsComfy and roomy. Looks nice and like an SUV should not a hybrid station wagon like some others. ConsGas mileage isn't the best. Issues with the Mass Air Flow sensor and idle.

Great Suv And Will Drive It Until It Falls Apart.... — I bought the car used in '07. It has some things that need to be worked on. I am doing them as I go along. It has power but an exhaust leak. It is a very dependable rig. This is the 2nd one I've owned. It's much nicer than the '95 I had before. Update Dec '12 - Still have the rig. Had the hood painted since it was peeling the clear coat. Looks good. Runs good. Have had some Mass Airflow Sensor issues. Still trying to get the idle to work right. Other than that, it never leaves me stranded and gets me where I'm going. With the new idle issue, I'm not getting the gas mileage that I did before, but will be working on that soon. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

1997 Nissan Pathfinder — Manual tranny, no AC, no 4x4... after realizing traffic commuting, I had wished I paid extra for the automatic... also wished I had 4x4 so I could go 4 wheeling with buds back then.. * Performance - okay... * Build Quality - pretty good * Appearance - loved the boxy look of the old Pathfinders * Cost of Ownership - I don't remember any extraordinary repairs, etc. * Fun Factor - is this car fun to drive? Yeah, it was okay... Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

1997 Nissan Pathfinder — It's 12 yearrs old. I mean what would you expect for it. I would say that it is in a peak condition for being as old as it is, despite a few problems with the radiator and muffler it is pretty fuel efficient and runs well. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

I'll Be Loving My Pathfinder For A Long Time. By Bill1423
