Excellent SUV

This is my second pathfinder from Nissan. I have it with dvd and navigation. The 2005 is just amazing. The power is great and the 4wd capabilities are excellent. The third row is mainly for kids but is great to have. If you dont need it, you can fold it down for alot of trunk space with ease. The fuel economy is a little low but what do you expect from a big truck like this. The bose and navigation system are just beautiful. Overall I am truely enjoyed this pathfinder.

We have had the Pathfinder for about 10 days now and have already put 1200 miles on it. We looked at the Highlander and Pilot but liked the Pathfinder best. It offered more features for less. We got everything but the DVD and Nav system. So far so good. Averaging 20 mpg so far as we mostly drive hwy.

Outstanding vehicle. I am amazed by its overall power. Can hold its own against several V8's. A real monster of the road.

This is my 4th Nissan Pathfinder. The design and overall quailty are good. I espically like the new size. It is ideal for most any application. This is a great vehicle for weekend adventures and weekly commuting .

This is my first SUV. Added the premium package and other extras like splashguards, floor mats, etc. We do a lot of road trips and this is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. I test drove Highlander, Pilot, MDX and found Pathfinder to be the best of all. Being 6'1" I feel this vehicle has the most comfortable seating.

My 2005 Nissan Pathfinder is my first SUV. I almost bought an Acura MDX. The quaility is here, this truck is built like a tank and talk about horsepower (270). Nissan has been building 4X4s for years and I think they have gotten it down. I researched this truck for about a month, got the one I want and payed the price I wanted not a penny more...

I just got my 2005 Nissan Pathfinder on 1/3/2005. I traded in a Madza Tribute. This truck blows it away. The style and comfort are great. I would recommend the '05 Pathfinder to anyone looking for a midsize SUV with an afforable price.

Best of 10 SUV's tested

I started looking for an SUV about 2 months ago, and tested 10 different ones, including Jeeps (I have owned 7 Jeeps in the past 20 years). The first thing that blew me away was the interior and quality of workmanship of the LE. They thought of everything! I drove the Cadillac, Mercedes, BMW 5 Series, Jeep Limited, etc. and my impression of the LE was that it should cost $10,000 more - The quality and design of the leather, the standard 3rd row, the Bose speakers (I actually started listening to classical music). Acceleration is superb. Handling is wonderful. Can't make the car rattle. Went to 4 different dealerships and would recommend DARCARS. Got best treatment and deal by far w/ no BS.

We were going to get the Ford Explorer but it doesn't come close to the great looks & performance of the Pathfinder. The new design is so classy looking & the extra seating is great. We are lovin' this truck!!

So much better than my Ford Explorer

I have always been a Ford man, never driving an "import". Finally the resale value of Fords turned me to products by Nissan & Toyota. I have to say I am glad I made the switch. The overall quality of my Nissan Pathfinder is so much better than I have learned to live with. It is loaded with extras, has more power than I know what to do with and has a new powerful look to it. No wonder Nissan has one of the highest resale values on the market.
