Love my Pathfinder

This is the second Pathfinder I have owned and I loved the first one and kept it for 10 years. I expect to keep this one that long as well. The Pathfinder is well made and has high quality finishes, it handles well, gets reasonable gas mileage and is overall a beautiful vehicle. I have no complaints with the vehicle.

Let's start with the context, I've gotten a new car almost every year for several years now. Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited(s) (14 and 15), two Camry XLEs, Grand Caravan, Sienna (04, 09, 11)... The 2015 Pathfinder Platinum is outstanding. It may be the car I just keep. I cross shopped the Highlander XLE/Limited and the third row is so much better. The reviews will tell you it's got more passenger space than a Tahoe! The third row is the best out there. It's got two real seats and headroom - adults can use it! Which is good because teens and adults are the same size. The infotainment is MUCH better than the Jeep GC Ltd and that is supposed to be cutting edge. 13 speaker Bose is very good.

First Nissan. Toyota owner since 1974. Wanted to go back to SUV after owning sedan. Choose Pathfinder over Highlander primarily due to price point, electronics, styling, comfort of seats, and overall quality of interior. Good leg room for 2nd row seating, and easy access to 3rd row seats. Very good ride and handling. Recently returned from 900 mile round trip (two adults, three teenage girls). Adequate space for luggage, coolers, cases, etc. with 3rd seat down. Average 24 mpg (slightly less in town; slightly more on highway). Update: Loving the vehicle! Mileage on highway improving, 27-28 at 60 mph. Drops to 25 above 60. Consumer Reports totally missed the rating on this vehicle. Would definitely purchase it again.

Thought I was buying a good vehicle.

Bought new in November 2015 4x4 S model added roof rack fog lights and other extras. Spent $30k after everything. The transmission shutters and sometimes it feels like its not pulling at all when you accelerate. 14,750 miles on it and its worth maybe $18,500 trade in maybe $20,000 private party. If you lose that much appreciation in a little over a year and a half you know they have serious issues with the vehicles. It has been the biggest disappointment I have ever bought stay away and buy something else. It will be traded as soon as possible the transmission problems alone should keep you away I was told it was a issue and they needed to re-map the electronics with a download for the CVT my point is why am I here at the dealer with this issue with 14k miles on a $30K vehicle look it up yourself and do research before buying I bought it for the safety for my infant child and didn't do enough research before I bought it.

SL Tech Package = Pure Luxury

This car has all the bells and whistles we were looking for. The interior is nicely done and it is almost close to its "sibling" the Infiniti QX60 in terms of luxury. The ride is nice and smooth. The SL Tech Package has it all. It features the 360 degree camera, Nav, power liftgate, excellent Bose system with sub in the rear, memory driver settings, blind spot monitoring with the rear cross traffic alert. I mean too many options to list. The only downside is the cargo area. We are coming from a boxy 2012 Pilot which ate up everything in the cargo area. This Pathfinder falls a little short in that respect. The 2nd row slides easy with access to the 3rd row. I also like the option of switching between 2wd and 4wd auto. Overall we are happy with the lease we made. I also got a great deal. This is a $43,000 SUV and I am paying less than $400 month on 12k 36 month lease with just taxes upfront. We were waiting for the new Pilot but the more I see the front, I want to throw up. The thing is just ugly and boring looking like a cr-v odyssey. Plus no lease on it yet. Bye Bye Honda. Hello Nissan Infiniti!!!
