I've only had this car a matter of days, but my wife has one so I have a better idea of what it is and what it can do. It's a sporty family car with lots of power and conservative styling and functionality. It's got very good overall performance with acceleration a prominent feature. My wife's 2000 has been very reliable through 109,000 miles.

I've had this car for 3 months. Performance is exceptional. Braking is good. Turning radius a little wide. Suspension could be firmer. Stock tires have bad wet traction. 6 speed is nice. The interior is very nice, easily seats 5. The trunk is big but opening a little small. Seats great but could use better side support. Interior lighting, sunroof, auto-dim rearview good. Dash display gets washed out at dusk but good at night. The Bose radio good but SCV is useless, bass is bit muddy. HID lights great. I like the styling. My 89 was very reliable. I have not had one problem with my 02 and I expect none for many years.

Great Value for the Money

This vehicle is dressed smartly. The attention to detail and design factors make this vehicle a stand-out. One does not need to spend in excess of $30,000.00 + dollars to drive a great engineered vehicle. Nissan's overall redesign plan first with Sentra, followed by the amazing Altima, etc. is reflective of the new Company leadership. The Pathfinder is scheduled for a redesign-{Larger}, Nissan will fill that gap with a Horizon type replacement, the Quest will be totally re-designed and manufactured by Nissan ( Previously manufactured via a joint relationship with Lincoln - Mercury Div. of Ford)..

This car is the most amazing thing in it's price range. The performance more than makes up for the few small problems with the rear end.

This is a great car for the money. I have had honda and toyota but this is my first nissan. I shopped around considerably and found this to be the best deal for the money. I am very impressed with everything so far and have not had any problems. I am averaging 20 mpg city and 30 hwy. Great pick up really loves to go with the pedal to the floor.
