Used 1994 Nissan Pathfinder Consumer Reviews
Rugged, Reliable and Sporty
I bought it as a second car for use in snowy conditions. I love to use it as my first option now! Amazingly nice handling (for SUV) and extremely reliable. It has had no problems and other than scheduled mant. has needed no mechanic shop visits, despite the 110k on it. Absolutely fantastic piece of machinery.
'93 Pathfinder
The only thing i have had go wrong, has been the electrical. Both the fan and backlights on the dash have gone out, but they've both been easy fixes. Power is a little lacking, but what can be expected of a car this old. i have had no other problems with this car other than minor things that are due to it being an older car.
Not Worth It
This was probably the worst can I ever owned. I bought it used with 150k and although it passed CA smog originally it always had a hesitation on acceleration that no shop or dealer was able to solve. I disliked the driving position. It rode poorly, the brakes were sub-par, the front shocks were changed three times with no ride quality improvement. It got terrible mileage like @15 mpg and less with AC on. Terrible bump-steer on the freeway. Lots of squeeks and rattles. On the plus side it had nice wheels and the AC worked good. I was happy to get rid of it.
A great little truck
I purchased the Pathfinder with 87,000 miles as a third vehicle in a family of two. Twenty nine months later the vehicle has 119,000 miles and has been worry free ( sort of ). The things that have broken have been minor. Gas mileage at about 14 city is a bit less than I would like but I'm still driving it. One thing one should expect. This truck rides like a truck.
money burner
I purchaced a used pathfinder in 1998, it had 80k on it and looked sharp. The problems soon followed; brakes, transmission, starter, running boards rusting off, etc.
