2012 Nissan Pathfinder S 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I had a 2008 PF before I got this one {a 2012). I owned 3 Maximas before these Pathfinders, so you could consider me a Nissan fan. I'm not a fan anymore. I'll likely not buy another Nissan ever.
This 2012 PF has been a money pit. Both PFs I've owned have loud engines. The brakes are spongy. The suspension is boaty. The gas mileage stinks.
They look cool and handle great in the snow, … but I don't have very many other positives to say about these trucks.
Overpriced

Space is tight for adults. 3 rows 2 for children one for adults and nothing for obese passengers
