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.

Having to -- NOT just "inspect," but REPLACE -- trans & trans-axle fluid at 30 & 60 & 90K simply because its now in SEALED units that can't be accessed for Inspection is a total "By Design," EXPENSIVE RIPOFF!

2014 S 2 wheel drive Pathfinder

Overall happy with the vehicle. Had for 3 1/2 years. Ready to trade in for another one. Only slight problem was every time I would back out of my driveway and shift the vehicle from reverse to drive then accelerate I would here a very slight popping sound. Took it into Nissan and they replace something that had to do with the transmission CVT. However, it still made the sound. By the way Nissan has great service. (Ed Hicks in Corpus Christi, TX.)

Pathfinder 4WD

2017 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

I have owned this vehicle less than one week, my previous vehicle was a 2010 Volvo S80. I purchased this as a towing and gear transport vehicle since I am retired and planning on trips to help out with disaster relief and rebuilding both locally and within the USA. It is a surprisingly quiet and well mannered road vehicle. I have not ventured off road with it but that will happen on hunting trips. I was not looking for the Platinum trim level but I did want 4WD and that option is not very common in this area, so this was one of few used vehicles to choose from. I am not dissapointed, and in fact am impressed with what Nissan has done with this.
