What a Great Vehicle and not over priced!.
We have been looking for a new vehicle for quite some time now. As everyone knows, there are very few available. The vehicles which are available, are being sold at sticker price plus, anywhere from 5,000 up to 17,000 dollars over sticker here on Long Island. We finally tried a Nissan dealership, and what a surprise. Not only did they have a great vehicle, 2023 Nissan Pathfinder, Platinum edition, but we didn't have to pay one penny extra and got a finance rate at less than 3 percent. Living with it now for a while, it is much more than expected, fast, comfortable and loaded with features, some of which were very unexpected at this price point, like the push button second row seat fold down release, amazing. And, our sales experience was also way beyond the norm. We picked out our new vehicle, took it for a test drive, worked out the deal, returned our leased vehicle at the same dealership, all without a single uncomfortable moment or hassle. And; we were driving home, in our new car, in less than two hours. Hats off to Nissan for a great experience, made buying a car fun again.

Think twice before you buy
This is my second Pathfinder. I loved the first one in 2015. No problems at all. I am 4 months into having the 2023 and it was towed from a parking lot because of ongoing engine issues, that resulted in engine failure and it shutting down completely in the entrance to a parking lot. Very disappointing to read about similar circumstances and Nissan not trying to fix the issue and still selling them like there’s nothing wrong. I have 15 year old that is learning to drive. Not a safe or reliable car for this. The two stars that I gave were for the windshield display which is a great feature.

Want to love it
The Good: I love the driving dynamics, and the 9 speed transmission has been smooth and the final overdrive gear returns excellent fuel economy at +80mph. I like the looks, especially from the Rock Creek Trim. Front seats are very roomy for taller drivers- I am 6’9” and wide. The Bad: I have had re occurring HVAC issues which appeared the day after I purchased my 2023 Rock Creek Pathfinder. It will only blow HOT air until the temperature is set to low temperature- then it only blows COLD air. Some sort of blender door issue they are thinking. Either way this is not confidence inspiring for a brand new vehicle since this is the second dealer visit for the same issue in the third week of ownership. The Verdict: Undecided if I will sell now, or keep it (assuming HVAC issue eventually gets fixed) knowing I have 17 months left to peruse lemon law claim. I just don’t like the fact my car dashboard has been taken apart twice (so far) and it’s not even a month old. Leaning towards just selling and trying with a different brand.

S model
Solid vehicle - no need for all the bells and whistles. Transmission is great and needed upgrade. I am moving from an 2021 RDX tech package to this fun rugged rig. Loving every mile! Only negative for me is the aggressive start/stop system.

Loving the new Pathfinder
**3,000 Mile update: Everything is running great, highway extremely smooth. Took several trips for baseball and the ride comfort and storage has been great. Very happy with this purchase and I still think its the best looking 3 row midsize SUV on the market- yes over Hyundai and Kia as well- of course thats all preference at this point. Maintaining 21-25 mpg anywhere depending on in town or expressway. There is a lot of stop n go in town and that's where most driving is done so not conducive for peak mpg. Infotainment has been worked flawless so everything has been great and no regrets getting rid of the truck. The ride very much is better than a truck no doubt about it. So I recently got into a 2023 Pathfinder Platinum. Read reviews along with other SUV’s as I was getting out of my Ram pickup truck to attempt to get better gas mileage. My v8 hemi was sucking fuel for the amount I was driving. So out of all the SUV’s to my eyes the Pathfinder and Grand Cherokee were the best looking- I currently have a Grand Cherokee as well so I didn’t want another one so Pathfinder it was. Based on some Of these reviews I was a little hesitant but I am glad I went through with it. I have 1,000 miles on it and the Pathfinder rides incredibly smooth. Averaging as of now about 24 mpg which I assume will get a little better. Handles great in the rain. Space is great. With technology I see no drop off or difference compared to my other vehicles. Cruise control works just fine but I haven’t tried to pro pilot mainly because I just prefer regular cruise. The chestnut interior is fantastic and my back seats and storage area all have the all weather built into the backs which is great for baseball gear. All in all I’m very pleased with this vehicle and have no regrets in getting it. This is my 3rd Nissan over the years and my parents had 2 when I was in HS- I’ve always preferred the styling of Nissan over Honda and Toyota- we have never had issues with any of them so hopefully the streak continues.
