Good Reliable Car. — The 2002 year of the Nissan pathfinder brings a more refined look to the lines somewhat bland looks, there is also an increase in performance. there is plenty of power under the hood that will quickly get you passed any car on the road. there is also plenty of torque to pull a boat or camper. Overall this is a good long lasting car.

Work Of Beauty. — This car= love. i have had so much fun with this.Runs like a top and never needed a repair. Gas mileage sucks...but hey its an suv. This is an all around beautiful car. Great power and acceleration. The only problem I had was finding the oil filter....it's in a horrible spot.

I Fell In Love With This Car! — I purchased this car in January 2002. I was in love with the look of this car for a year before I actually purchased one. It served me well for 6 years.

Very Relieable, Quick For An Suv — This car was so much fun, and I entirely regret selling it. It was moderately quick, and would easily outperform most other vehicles in its class. Never had a problem with this car.

Beast — I like being able to ride up high and the pathfinder is high enough but not too top heavy. the ride was very smooth once it was broken in, reliable (started everytime i needed it to even though i put 65,000 miles on it in 4.75 years, sturdy (got rear ended and the guys truck was smashed up pretty bad and the only damage to my car was the hatchback got stuck closed and the rear bumper was pushed down.
