Not so Solid SUV

Good SUV, very solid in heavy wind and rain in Florida. Got her for a great price, and what I lose in resale it makes up for in low maintenance costs. Headset for Bluetooth is a gem, people can actually hear me better in the car! Great place for a phone call meeting. The AC compressor is a little loud sometimes- actually ended up having the belts replaced and the bearing greased didn’t help. Nissan was going to replace the compressor. Also the tires that come on the base trim are not stellar- always squeeling the tires 😂 You won’t notice the CVT under most acceleration- only under very spirited driving. Also if it’s cold out it take a bit to warm up and fall into overdrive. I ended up getting rid of the vehicle for a Highlander. The infotainment went out 2 times and the software had to be reset- then it had to be replaced. The steering column- or some part of the steering was affected, I had to fight the wheel to turn it after starting vehicle. I would even let it run for a few minutes and it would almost cause collisions. It would wine like an old car and then work normally after I got going. Nissan had the car for a month and couldn’t fix. What a lemon. Happy with my Highlander- unfortunately Nissan burned me- probably won’t buy another anytime soon.

The 2020 Nissan Pathfinder is excellent!! It handles the road very well. The only negative part is that Google Play is not compatible

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.

Seven Hour Learning Experience

Drove 2020 Pathfinder from San Diego to San Francisco. The Infotainment system kept me busy up I-5 from Magic Mountain to Altimont Pass. Only the basic functions were intuitive. Didn't find Trip Reset activator until I returned the rental. Mileage, Performance, G-Pulls, Eco-Helper, all very convoluted. Leather front seats felt overly hard, imagine bleachers, after two hours. Good acceleration, cargo space limited to to rise in rear seats. Impressive 28.5 MPG on mostly freeway driving. Would lean towards Explorer, or the classy value driven Telluride.
