Served Our Purposes Well

We bought our Pathfinder with the Sport Option to have the spare well mounted outside the cargo hold. For years we used it in truly rugged conditions. It has been down many a lost trail hauling 5-6 kayaks to rivers. Only got stuck at the base of a steep incline once on snowy winter day. Not enough weight in back to keep the tires grounded, but did managed to finally get itself out of trouble just as our friends arrived in a "Jeep Cherokee". Mechanically we have been annoyed with the exhaust pipes breaking just behind the engine block. Really annoying and expensive to fix. We have 250,000 km on this beast.

Has been extremely reliable. Granted, the gas mileage is not car-like, but if you want a car you shouldn't be reading this. This is the second pathfinder I have owned, my old one sold with 150K and my current SE has 155k with simple regular maintenance. O2 sensor went out on both trucks as did the speedometer head. Other than that, these things go, go and then keep going. Great off road stability with the stock 31x10.5's.

Reliable Compact SUV

I bought my used one-owner, well maintained Pathfinder in 2002. I've put over 50,000 trouble free miles on the truck since I purchased it. Current mileage is 96,000. I've crept along on rough, rutted desert roads many times with out getting stuck. Turning in tight areas takes lots of work. My best highway mileage was slightly over 20 mpg. Combined street/highway mileage is about 17. The engine works hard to push the truck on hills. It could use another 20-30 horsepower. The cup holders were an after thought. The radio speakers are odd sized and it is difficult to find after market replacements. I like the Pathfinder's ruggedness and boxy design.

I took my 1994 Nissan Pathfinder over from my brother a number of years ago and it now has nearly 200,000 miles on it. Other than regular maintenance and a cracked exhaust manifold (fixed for $400), I have not had a single problem. this truck is fantastic off road, great around town, and acceptable on the highway. I use it for work, commuting, and offroad driving in the moutains while biking.
