This is smooth riding vehicle - I bought it for the dogs, and they love it :) We travel around the county to shows and this vehicle is everything and more - WAY more power than the Tahoe we tested at the same time.

We searched around for 2 years looking for the right vehicle for a family who has children that participate in traveling sports (softball, bowling, volleyball, etc). This vehicle fits like a glove for us in roominess, comfort and overall comfort. We had a great test drive and had a good experience with the Nissan dealer in Salem. We liked the styling and color (light blue) of the vehicle. Very good vehicle for the traveling family :)

Good choice of mid-SUV

This is a solid vehicle, that looks better, performs better, and holds more stuff than many of its peers. I looked at nearly a dozen comparable SUVs and felt that this was the best across the board value, and I still feel that way 2+ years later. I owned a Mustang GT but needed an SUV, wanted a Pathfinder but couldn't afford it, bought the wrong one and finally got a Pathfinder 2 years later. It was worth the wait. Acceleration, braking and handling are all very good. The styling, especially in the interior is pleasing to your eyes without being dominant and eye- distracting. There are enough cubbies and cupholders to meet your needs, and the seats are quite comfortable. Really good vehicle.

Terrible gas mileage - runs better and more efficiently on high test (uggh!); terrible in snow with or without 4WD engaged; little cargo room in back; seat areas are cramped - particularly in cockpit; still nicer appearance, fit & finish than '06 model; great overall build, but will never purchase another - price tag and costs of ownership (gas, insurance) just aren't worth it - - I can drive a GM or FORD for less (and better MPG) and still be quite pleased

I JUST LOVE MY PATHFINDER!

I love everything about this SUV. EVERYTHING! It is the right size, very quiet, looks great (Merlot), VERY smooth drive, stereo sounds great, leather seats are wonderful and comfy, interior looks great (black leather). I can't imagine what Jamey's issues are with Nissan or the Pathfinder. Maybe the dealer was really bad, because this is one great SUV. I just love it. I can't wait to get in it and go for a ride! Just drove it over 1,000 miles on vacation and it was such a pleasure! I swear we got just under 20 MPG. Not bad for an SUV today.
