I can't say enough good things about my 1995 Nissan Pathfinder. I love the classic styling, although some say it's boxy I don't care. The back doors are too small, but the seating is comforable. The rear seats recline and I love that! If you are looking for a reliable inexpensive SUV look no further, its right here. Forget about Chevrolet Blazers and Ford Explorers. They don't hold a candle to the Pathfinder.

Review
This was my second Pathfinder, I had a '93 prior to this truck. I purchased my second because of the first's excellent dependability. I put 50,000 miles on the '93 model, and 110,000 on the '95, and the only repairs that I had to make were normal ones, like brakes, tires, belts, etc. i did have the exhaust manifold leak on both, it was repaired once under warranty. This truck is great off road with its limited slip differential, great seats, and is very cheap to own. Aside from the lack of power, and poor fuel economy, it was a great vehicle. I almost bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee instead because I wanted more HP, but didn't dare because of the poor reliability, and I made the right choice.

I bought my 1995Nissan Pathfinder as a second vehicle to haul my dogs. It is roomy enough for two with seats down. it is a good, tough, reliable truck. I baby it but am first putting on normal mileage after seven years of less than normal miles. At 38,000 miles I replaced poor General Inc tires (OEM). Those tires were terrible. I replaced them with Michelin All Terrain & I love 'em. At 55,000 miles (eight years old) I replaced the front brakes, rotors, calipers & boots. This was not a big deal considering the mileage & age fo the truck. At 63,000 miles (nine years old) I replaced the alternator (expensive...$300 just for parts). Despite this normal maintenance, I am very satisfied with its toughness & durability. it is a good value.

My first truck. Previously drove
sportscars (RX-7, Scirocco, CRX, Talon
AWD) and an Outback. The Pathfinder is
a capable off and on road performer.
Handles like a truck - heavy and
sluggish (expected). Still fun to
drive especially off road. Good in the
snow. Lots of room and decent towing
power. Raised rear "theatre" seating
is great for smaller passengers.

I bought this car new in 1995 and still
like it. Very reliable. Replaced tires
at 48K. Replaced brakes for the first
time at 60K. Easy to drive and park
since it's not too large.

This is one great truck. Its a little
small on the inside but the comfort
level is great. I bought it with 90K. I
owned it for over 2 years and 15,000
more miles and never had to do one
maintenance job. Just be good with your
oil changes and it will treat you
great!

Had a long review written, but the
system said it was too long (despite
what the character box said), then it
all deleted. Basically, original
owner, just turned 100,000. Still love
to drive this car. Did have a problem
with the exhaust manifold, also a
recent computer glitch that the dealer
can't find a reason for and has to
reset. Turns like an 18-wheeler. I
live in a hilly area with snowy
winters and have NEVER been stranded.
Great peace of mind with a family.
Also, my wife is small and this was
the only SUV we looked at that she
could drive comfortably. Wish Nissan
would go back to this style, don't
like the new PFs as much.

I have owed my 1995 Nissan Pathfinder
for just over 9 years. I have owed 7
different brand vehicles (BMW, SAAB,
Toyota, Chevy, GMC, Mazda, and Ford)
and it, by far, has been the best
quality and dependable vehicle I have
owed (a close second was the Toyota
owned). I intend to drive it until it
stops, which by the way it is running,
will be a while.

Overall good experience with my
Pathfinder. A few problems every now
and then, but then again, it's almost
10 years old. Very reliable. I'm
envious of other performers however;
not enough horsepower for hills when
I'm trying to maintain speed. It also
drinks gas like water.

I just sold my '95 Pathfinder and I was
so please with it's reliability and
performance that I went ahead and
purchased a 2003 Pathfinder. I NEVER
had to have work done, except your
normal maintenance. In the years that
I owned it, it didn't start up only 1
time and that was due to an original
battery that had died! It was a
pleasure to own and I am now a Nissan
driver for life!
