This SUV has been nothing less than great for us. Very reliable, great in the rain / sleet / snow, OK on gas (not great), fun to drive. When it snows the truck shines.  6K HIDs headlights and foglights. Tint all around.

Pros: Nice ride, very confortable to drive.
Cons: N/A

love it!! there is no reason to , all you got to do is drive one , it's like a CAR  but 4X4,  
price wise  , well is not at all bad , you get what you pay for , it's a family car and we all fit , that's the best of all.
what else can I say , we put a entertainment system in it , so on long trips we can all watch what we want , kids in the back and adults in front .

Pros: great performance
Cons: gas..

I have this car for a couple of months and I just love it.  Plenty aof pickup when you need it and plenty of room for whatever.  Plus it can go offroading.  I haven't done that yet but I hope to soon.  My only complaint is the gas.  I wich it used a little less.  It has 56k miles on it and still runs strong for a 2003 model.  No coplaints about that.  I also wished the car had stabilty control.  It needs it sometimes when taking turns hard or driving when slippery.  My car has hydroplained before and if not for the auto 4 wheel drive my car would have smashed into a median strip (you know the cement dividers on a highway) and that would have been a mess.

Pros: Engine, 4 wheel drive, lots of space, just plain fun.
Cons: Gas and no stabilty control.

Well put-together.  Feels invinceable.  Good cabin space, good storage.  The rear cargo area
is not completely flat -- the wheel wells intrude a little.  Putting down the rear seats and
removing the cargo area tonneau takes a little bit of time.  The split tailgate (separate
opening window) is good.  Nice ride.   Good 3.5 L V6; not a total gas hog.  

Pros: Power.  Rugged looks.
Cons: Less than ideal cargo area.

Cons: Doesn't compare with BMW SUVs, though.

I have had to have a fan replaced to run the heater and recently a part that has to do with the emissions.  It has been reliable.

second pathfinder i've owned love the size and body size. grossly disappointed in the Bose stereo system. only the radio is Bose the components are not. would not have purchased it if i knew the cd was a clarion and the speakers were not bose. false advertizing on the part of Nissan. Premium gas is annoying and tires bwear quickly. Avoid the factory tires , they didnot last the warranty period and were terrible in northeast winters.
