I love my new Nissan Pathfinder. We drove 6 different 4 wheel vehicles, before deciding on the Pathfinder, It is the first Nissan I have ever owned. It handles great, smooth ride for an SUV. Lots of leg room and great comfort. Beautiful slate gray color. I also appreciate the resale value of the Nissan.

It is the 3rd SUV that I have purchased, and it gives a great feeling of good protection. Great feeling while driving and very comfortable. Very stable on the highway and shows good response and power. Gas consumption, what can I say, is an SUV.

DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE!! Bought this vehicle used about a month ago: 2011 Silver addition with 4WD, I use it daily for to/from work and have just taken my first long distance (5 hours) trip in it. The radio controls are crazy, the radio is incorporated into the dash (so you have no option of ever replacing it) and you have to reach all the way across the middle of the vehicle to the passenger side to change the station, the volume control is too near the driver, the heat/AC controls are between the volume knob and the station selection knob and I find myself adjusting the temperature instead of the volume. There are controls on the steering wheel, but with the issues I am having with the radio and display, I cannot change the channel from the steering wheel if it is on XM. By the way: XM is not a visible option on the radio controls, you have to push the radio button twice and then you can access XM. I have had electrical issues with the radio I cannot reprogram my stations, once the vehicle is turned off, they all reset to what was there before. I can change the station once the vehicle is on, but I have to adjust the radio every single time I get in. The display flashes bright then dim for no reason, I 'll be driving down the road and the display flashes. There is no navigation and the display is hard to use. The temperature is very difficult to regulate, it goes from hot to cold to hot, and on the long trip I had to constantly adjust the temperature to keep the inside from being either too cold or too stuffy. If you try to use vent without AC, it blows hot like it is coming directly from the engine, so you still have to adjust the temperature to regulate the inside conditions. With all that said, I wanted a vehicle that could go off road for bike races and possibly pull a camper, in those two areas, there is no way this thing could safely pull a camper - the brake system is not strong enough just for the vehicle weight, let alone braking safely with a trailer. Gas mileage is what I was expecting from reading other reviews, not the best but not the worst, I am averaging 16.5 MPG, on the tank it recommends supreme, but I cannot see a difference in MPG. If you are single and want a vehicle for off road and fun, the Pathfinder is great, if you want to take friends with you, your limit is one comfortably, you could take four, but the two in the back will not be happy after a while. I had the vehicle looked at by my garage and they said they had never seen of vehicle of this age in such good shape (mechanically) not one single leak of any kind. So I hope the Pathfinder will make up in longevity for what it lacks in usable space and display use. I am already considering putting it up for sale. Update: I have now been driving this Pathfinder for over 6 months, and have discovered the brakes freeze if they are wet. Nothing like driving downhill braking and sliding out of control with your front brakes freezing. I had my front brake pads replaced and the problem continues, I did some research and found out this is a common problem with Nissan vehicles. Electrical issues continue, the clock will not stay set, so I have to set it every time I get in the car the radio will not stay programmed, Key fob not recognized, so often cannot unlock or start the vehicle. SAFTEY ISSUE! can't start the car!! The sun visors are sagging, can't be used in the side position because the sag so much they do not block the sun and if you turn they swing and hit you in the head. Over all very poor quality in the interior of the vehicle. 2nd Update: - had to replace the whole brake system and 4 weeks after, the brakes started grinding again, though they have not locked up yet, but I am terrified to go down a hill any time it is wet, just waiting for the brakes to throw me out of control. My son has a Jeep, he drove my Pathfinder yesterday and commented on how little room there is around the driver, blind spot is really annoying: cannot see out of the right side. BAD BRAKES, BAD ELECTRICAL, SMALL INTERIOR, CANNOT TOW DUE TO BAD BRAKES Over all, I am not happy with this vehicle - spend a lot of time in it before you buy it. 3rd update - DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE!!! this vehicle is not worth buying. I have had it for a couple of years and have hated almost every moment. I cannot afford to sell and buy something else, so I am stuck with this nasty unsafe vehicle. It is not worth the fear and headache. Now that we have had day light savings, I no longer have to subtract an hour every time I look at the clock. The clock cannot be set.

Okay, this car just rocks. Fun to drive, power to spare, and room room room. Just a great car to drive. But I do feel like Nissan skimped on the S model in order to force us to bump to the SE (+$3000). I mean, cmon, it's 2010, and no AUX jack for the iPod? Are you joking? It's a great car, and I love it. I just wish I could feel like I wasn't being effed over by the mftr is all.
