Price-Value very high in comparison with other vehicles in its class. Very nice ride, maneuverability, acceleration, great on snow (12 days of snow in past two weeks; no problem with Pathfinder). Very peppy, even on the mountain roads between home in N. Nevada back and forth to California.

Best vehicle I have ever bought.

I looked at one on a whim and it ticked all the boxes for us. I did an online check and saw that it is rated 15 out of 29 for 7 passenger SUVs. I have test drove nearly all of those 29 and this is the safest most sturdy feeling SUV I found. I love the 4x4 option and the tow package. I have the Platinum version and my children love the reclining and adjustable seating and the TVs in the headrests. It is a great vehicle. I wish I had bought one years ago. It is better than I ever expected and I will continue to purchase Nissan.

I don't think I've had the car long enough to rate it on some of things asked above, but so far, I really like it. It is very comfortable and I do like the way it handles while driving....there are a few things I am getting used to such as the the back up camera. I was wanting a Ford Explorer but I think I came away with more for the money. I am hoping to get better MPG, but I think that has to do with getting to know the car. *** I've now had the car for a year-and-a-half and while I still like it, there was a problem with the screen. Unfortunately the dealership did not follow through when I first reported the problem due to some changes in their personnel. Therefore I fell through the cracks! When the part was finally ordered it took a little more than a month to get it so I was without radio, Bluetooth, and all the other things that go with the screen on the dash. I tend to keep my vehicles for a long time so I figure that if there is going to be another problem it will be when the car is 2 years old. At that point I will know whether or not I will ever buy another Nissan. And just to demonstrate how long I keep my cars, I have a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid that I kept for 10 years and have passed down to my son and that car has hardly ever given me a problem. Going on 3 years and still doing well. The screen continues to go out on occasion, but it is rare (every 3 to 4 months) and it comes back on. It'll be 5years this coming December and I still own it. I've had several offers for it but i will have it paid off in 2 months. I hope it continues to give me good service. My only complaint at this point are the front seat seat belts. Passenger side gets stuck. ********** My Pathfinder will soon be 7! Looks like I'll be keeping it a while longer. Unfortunately, I spilled some paint in the back floor so I will not get a lot as a trade, and since I have no major considerations or worries I am just fine. I may just buy a small get around town car, and keep this one for family outings. It still looks good and my seats are still very comfortable. Gas MPG has been average of 22 -24, in town, with 26 on the road. I can seat 7 and 2 small dogs, or 5 with 3 small dogs and 1 Lab. All are comfy.

Great platinum trim level

Bought the wife one and two years later I get the same exact one just a little newer. You do have to adapt to the cvt and understand where and when the "gears" will change in order to continue accelerating through the roads so it doesn't downshift and rev up. The vehicles are great value. The best leg room of any SUV on market and that's a fact for both front and rear seat. Both the 2015 and our 2017 had hood issues. When going over 70-80mph on interstate, the hood would look like it's going to fly up and off so we took them in to be tightened. The 2017 platinum sits a little squatty like and people flash me a lot thinking I have my brights on. The headlights are extremely bright and you can tell when on low beam they're a little high. Feel bad for some oncoming drivers. City/highway avg 19.5mpg at 14,000 miles.
