I just bought the Platinum trim in Gun Metal Gray 2 weeks ago. So far I absolutely love it overall with a few minor complaints. The Great: -Amazing interior. The seats are incredibly comfortable, the leather is extremely high quality and the seats raise and recline extremely well. The Cabin is spacious, the tech options are phenomenal. The third row is roomier than most 3 Row mid siz SUV's and the ability to push a button and raise the second row seats with a car seat still attached is great for kids. The all weather matts are very durable and the removable cup holders for captains chair come in handy. There is also plenty of cargo room with 3rd row down and the under seat storage in trunk area is extremely roomy. -Engine- It is surprisingly fast, especially in sport mode. Absolutely zero issues cruising at 75 on the highway.Snow mode handles really well in a blizzard as we recently drove through a few days ago. Eco mode is also not that noticeable of a change.I feel that the car has ample power and with my wife, two kids, gear and a dog in the vehicle it performed fine and did not feel sluggish. Style- it is by far the nicest looking of the 3 row mid size SUV's and you can tell Nissan put a lot into the design. It also has a more masculine look than some of the competitors, which is nice if you are a male driver. But a female driver could also own and feel totally at home. -The safety features- Loaded with VDC, self drive etc. And they work very well. Great cameras too. -Tech- The digital display on both the dash, the heads up and the center console are awesome. Occasional issues connecting to bluetooth with slight lag sometimes, but I have yet to drive a car yet that hasn't had those issues. The OK: -Bose system- I find it to be very loud and incredibly smooth. However, I understand the complaints about the power issues. My understanding is that some of this is due to the fact that Nissan had to remove the subwoofer in the back to make way for more storage. As an audophile I just crank the bass up fully on settings and it is TOTALLY ample power. I can't imagine this stereo completely maxed, it would be too loud to listen to. But as everyone has said, I would call it OK for Bose, but totally fine and enjoyable and able to be cranked and retain clarity. -1st gear- like some other users, I find it a little sluggish when going from first gear to second as if there is a little hesitancy. The Bad: My auto stop start has never really worked properly. It kicks off and on when it wants to. It's not a huge thing for me because I don't really like auto stop/start. But in a new car I would want this to work properly. Bringing it into dealership friday and will keep updated. OVERALL- if not for that one issue this car would have a 5/5 for me. It really is an amazingly pleasant vehicle and I look forward to driving it.

2024 Pathfinder SL

Terrible quality. My 2024 SL model has been in the shop for Engine mount replacement due to excessive vibration at 6,300mile. It just had vibration again. The dealer said the cooling fans the cause of the vibration is the cooling fans, car has 8,300 miles and 8 months since I bought it brand new in Oct 2023. Car still has vibration at stop/idle after I left the dealer a about 2 miles. I took it right back and the dealer could not find anything wrong (what they said). Car still has vibration especially in reverse. Now I am stuck with this vehicle. I am looking to trade for other brand. Most regret decision I made when purchasing Nissan. Very disappointed. it has no option for zero star so I have to pick 1 star. It is not even worth 1 star rating.

Looks and Rides Awesome

We just took our new Pathfinder on a holiday trip thru the Virginia/West Virginia mountains. We have rented several of it's competitors for this same trip in the past. This was by far the most enjoyable experience with it's features compared to the others. Plenty of power and the handling and ride comfort were superb. The driver assist features work great, it does a good job holding the center of the lane while in cruise control mode. The 9 speed transmission is far better than the CVT it replaced and operates smoothly. The heated electric seats were very comfortable, no need for pain relievers on a long trip. Our rear passengers loved the reclining heated second row captain chairs and the rear HVAC controls. With the 3rd row folded down, we had plenty of luggage storage for all 4 of us. We have the SL premium package and are happy with the upgrade except for the Bose sound system. It sucks compared to our 09 Murano Bose system, I'm disappointed in that. We purchased the red/black premium paint combo, with the Blackout option and are having the bumpers painted black. We get many compliments.

24 Plat 4WD - Good space, comfort, handling & MPG

Update: Dec. 2024 we are now at 10K miles and still no issues, would definitely buy again! Has been a great vehicle around city and on 7+hour drives. Great MPG on Hwy with cruise control on (even at over 70 mph). Tight turning radius has come in handy as well. Only con is I wish Nissan and other car manufacturers would give more permanent control to driver/owner over feature settings so that I control how they behave and the settings need to save until I decide to change them back (e.g. auto engine stop/start should not default to on every time vehicle restarts, seat belt chime reminder for 2 minutes just because I have a package in front passenger seat, should disable auto rear brake assist automatically if in Tow mode with trailer plugged in, should have feature to set a GPS based exception to rear brake emergency assist for owners with steep driveways or parking garages, etc.) Having more control would bring the vehicle from an 8.5 rating to a 10 rating. Based on owner comments in current generation Pathfinder forums, I do expect to probably need to replace both the OEM tires and break pads at around 18K-25K miles... but once I upgrade the original tires and brake pads, then those items should last much longer than the versions from the factory. Owners of other brand, new cars, are also reporting similar low mileage out of factory tires as well. Original: So far we have had zero issues and no regrets. After 8 months of research and test drives, in Nov. '23, I traded out of a 2017 Murano Platinum with 56K miles that was an awesome vehicle and purchased a White '24 Pathfinder Platinum 4WD with chestnut interior, blackout package and second row bench seat. I went with '24 year model knowing that some of the bugs from the '22 redesign had been solved for at the plant and knowing that other some other issues had also been figured out and Dealer Service would now be able to handle them better under warranty. We have 5,600 miles on it so far including multiple 7 hour 1 way road trips and have towed my SXS buggy many times (deer camp is a 4 hour drive into hill country and the last 6 miles are gravel/clay roads). A few weeks ago we split folded the second row seats and took 3 adults and 5 large suitcases to the airport. This weekend we made a trip to the plant nursery, folded the second row flat and brought home a load of 18 bags of soil and nine 5 gallon plants. We were able to close the tailgate normally. My extended family and friends constantly remark about how nice the vehicle looks and how comfortable it is to ride in. We keep the third row flat for cargo space as it's best for small kids or less than an hour for adults. We have had at least 1 Nissan in the family for over 14 years now and all of the models have been very reliable, great value in terms of features for the price and fun to drive.

My 2024 pathfinder sl with premium package looks and feels as good as our Lexus gx ever did and better. Has as many options Lexus didn’t have and sunroof is huge. We only have had it 3 weeks and put 300 miles on it. After reading reviews I’ve been very skeptical on the electronics that everyone is complaining about but time will tell. I have read about all the old pathfinders lasting 300000 miles and more. I don’t keep cars more than 4 years at max so hopefully this goes that far with no issues. I have always been a Lexus fan but the style really blows Lexus away in looks, luxury and ride. We’ll see in a couple years if I go back to Lexus. Back in the 70’s all people heard about was how reliable Datsun/Nissan was. Don’t know where they changed and why they stopped caring about customers happiness but seems like most companies today don’t care about customer satisfaction except Amazon. You would think other companies would follow his lead and get and retain customers thru happiness but that’s not the case. I’ll hope for 5he best.
