Drove it 1k miles (3 days) as a rental

I rented this in the SL trim from a well known vehicle rental company. It had 10k miles on the odometer. I drove it 1k miles in 3 days and this was enough for me to decide if it's a decent midsize SUV. The bad: Tight legroom in the 2nd and 3rd row seats, bland exterior style, navigation was basic, the 6 cylinder is weak, handling was mushy. The good: Impressive fuel consumption, quality leather seating, plenty of cup holders. Personally, I would not purchase this vehicle.

Good car until the fob doesn't work.

Bought new in 2018. Good car until the fob has problems. Wouldn't start the car or lock or unlock. AAA couldn't get it started. Nothing in owner's manual as they want you to get the car towed to a dealer where they spend several hours at $150/hr trying to diagnose the problem. No more Nissan for me.

The Pathfinder provides you more bang for your buck. It has bells & whistles on it that are standard compared to other models in it's class! It is very comparable to a Toyota Highlander or a Ford Explorer

CVT (Transmission) is a problem

Bought a 2019 Pathfinder in 2019. 1 year and 6 months later Nissan had to completely swap out the transmission. Drove the new transmission for less than a day and need to go back for another one. Not the first Nissan I've had (previously had an Altima) and certainly not the only transmission problem I've faced with them. Stay away from Nissan's.

The first few days with the Pathfinder SL with Premium Package I thought I found my next new vehicle. My daily driver is a 16 Corolla S, my weekender is a MKIII Supra, and my wife has a 15 Camry XSE V6. After living with it for a few weeks and nearly 5000 miles, I became less enamored. The first thing that I fell in love with was the ride comfort, even with the 20 inch wheels. I was thinking it would be awful, as I previously owned a 13 Equinox V6 with 18's that was horrible. I still love the ride, it is one of the best. The steering is dreadful, however, during cornering as the power steering pulses between too much assist and too little, and instead of gracefully cornering, it feels like it is zig-zagging. I test drove other Pathfinders to see if it was just a problem with the rental, as I was serious about purchasing one, and they did it as well. That nice comfortable ride? Still love it, but Nissan could use thicker sway bars to make the SUV feel more secure when the road starts turning. The giant exterior mirrors are nice, but when combined with the thick A-pillar, has a massive blind spot that can hide small cars. The blind spot monitors work very well, but the warnings are ill placed, not in the mirrors where your eyes are looking, but 8 inches down close to the base of the door and A-pillar. One has to do a little bit of a two-step. The CVT in the Pathfinder, and Nissans in general, is just a bit better than the CVT in the Mitsubishi SUV's. Toyota has did a nice job with the Corolla's CVT, as did Honda with theirs. Plus, in a $40k+ vehicle, a CVT shouldn't even be considered, an 8-speed auto should be the minimum. The interior is nice and well appointed, it feels right. Nissan did a great job here. No rough edges, the leather is nice, it feels like it belongs in a vehicle with a little higher price tag. And it has a comfortable ride. The Bluetooth pairs well. That is the best of the infotainment. The navigation is easy to use, but if you want a full map, it won't tell you the next turn until you are up on it, although if you half-screen the map, it will give turn information like exit number, street name and distance. With full screen, it does not tell you exit number of street name, only distance and direction, until you are within a 1/4 mile of the exit/turn. This is bad when there are several roads in close proximity. The hands free voice activation for phones is horrible! My $20k Corolla S understands every command perfectly, the Pathfinder cannot understand anything. The Bose sound system is nice and clear, worth the expense. Now, the controls for the climate and radio are very poor, not intuitive at all. Even after all the time I have spent in the Pathfinder, I still have to take my eyes off the road to make any adjustment. My Toyota's do not have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and neither does this Pathfinder, but the 2019 does. This is not a deal breaker, but is nice to have. The panoramic roof is one small tilt/slide glass panel over the front seats, with a large, non-moving glass panel with sliding sunshade over the 2nd and 3rd rows. Fuel mileage is quite a surprise, as I am seeing about 24mpg combined, a little better than advertised. This can be attributed to the CVT, but an 8+ speed would be similar. As for the CVT, I would not want to tow anything with it. Overall, though, it is a nice vehicle, I could probably live with some of its shortcomings if I got a great deal on one. At $42k MSRP, however, getting another 3-row crossover with every option this has would cost several thousand more (Kia Sorento with rear seat heaters is nearly $45k MSRP). One could do worse than getting the Pathfinder, but there are better, too. And, even with the 20" wheels, it has a nice, comfortable ride. Maybe I'm getting old and need to sell my Supra and get a Buick.....
