This is a great truck. Its offroad abilities are very good and performance is also very good. The comfort and styling is also great. No problems with this truck at all.

This SUV needs traction control.Spun tires an intersections with the front half of the vehicle in the way of oncoming traffic many times. Also doesn't handle well on wet roads. Was very fast but almost too fast for what it was (a light rear wheel drive truck) Used the 4WD in the rain. Enjoyed the truck at times and thought it was fun and sporty to drive but didn't feel secure in it. Didn't hold the road well. Also not roomy enough for our small family of 3 plus dog. Gas mileage wasn't great either for such a small truck. Just got rid of it after 7 months and moved on to an '02 Explorer. Much different ride. Won't miss the Pathfinder.

Not Bad!!

2003 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

This SUV has it all and is great for anyone looking for a midsize vehicle. Alot of thought went into this SUV. This was the first vehicle that I bought in a long time that had no defects of any kind. While I don't drive it everyday, it is fun when I do drive it. The only gripe is that the running boards are not wide enough. Thank You, John

Best SUV Value

Best combination of power, handling, ride, and comfort of anything in this class. Combined with an excellent lease promo from Nissan and above average residual value makes the Pathfinder a great value.

Don't believe the bad safety review!

I don't understand why this car got such bad safety ratings. I was just in a high speed crash in my brand new Pathfinder thanks to some jerk in a Mercedes who didn't yield. Well, bad ratings aside I walked away with nothing more than a headache and a fat lip from the airbag. He rode off in the ambulance. Needless to say I'll purchasing another Pathfinder when the insurance check comes through.
