This is my third Pathfinder. The first - a 1996 was very nice, but alittle plain in interior aspects for the purchase price. The next, a 2000 was better in that aspect; but after a traffic accident which totaled it, a 2001 Pathfinder was bought to replace it. Except for the weak bumper system, the SUV, in my opinion, is more elegant than most others & handles pretty well in most weather; need to watch for ice etc. since the SUV is larger, I find that it wants to slide more easily. Gas mileage needs to be worked with; about 15 miles per gallon highway. Interior noise can be high - something that I would think would be better in a vehicle like this; wind & tire/road noise especially.
C'mon Nissan, you can do better!

After 7 years of owning the pathfinder (60,000 miles), here is an accurate assessment. Despite 3,000 mi oil changes, there have been numerous mechanical issues/failures (i.e., ignition coils, front springs, air cond, exhaust sys). After reviewing my old bills, I was spending 1500-2000 dollars a year on it at the dealership. I am truly disappointed in Nissan. MY LAST ONE EVER. There quality control is terrible. I thought Renault would correct that, however, it has gotten worse.

afte 3 of these babies, it's time to move on.......big step down from the 1997 that I had.......the 1997 was bulletproof....yeah it lacked a few ponies, but it was perfect for what the vehicle was intended to do....the extra power has negatively affected it's offroad capabilities and the build quality has taken a dive...no wheel shake like others have had, but at 27K this thing feels like it's going to fall apart....lousy gas mileage and forced to usepremium to boot........ oh well, they killed a good vehicle
Nice ride

I've had my '01 4WD SE for a year now and have to say I'm 90% happy with my purchase. The engine is silky smooth but does suck down the premium gas. Power is great as is the storage capacity. This is my first SUV so I can't really compare, but I do know it rides very nice. I opted for the 5- speed and still belive it's more fun to drive. The power windows started squealing but it was fixed under warranty, as was the O2 sensor.
This is an absolutely fantastic truck

Be prepared to cough up some money for gas, but other than that, my Pathfinder has given me very very few problems. It is an absolute tank for a small SUV and can handle just about anything (it is a wonderful winter car - never gotten stuck even in almost 2 feet of snow in my neighborhood roads). Had a couple ignition coils get old and cause some intermittent misfiring, clunks from old tie rods and ball joints, and some old CV axles (one with a torn boot), but this is all just your common wear and tear on a daily vehicle. The ride comfort is unbelievable for how heavily built it is (not quite as good as luxury, but still very comfortable). It is fairly primitive in terms of technology, but that might be a plus for some (me included) as there really isn't anything too advanced. My mom bought it about 10 years ago and I just bought it from her a few months ago - it has given us absolutely 0 major problems. Any repairs needed were common and ones you'd need to get on any car. Absolutely wonderful car, but again, be prepared to pay for some gas ;)
