The fit-and-finish quality on this car reminds me of an American car in the 1980s. It has rattles, including one that is right by my head when I am driving. The fan motor is extra loud at high speeds (noticeably worse than other vehicles). It has less than 5000 miles, and I already hate driving it because of this - it's just so frustrating. I would say that he electronics and features are one generation behind my Toyota Rav4 that is three years older. Wired Carplay works, so that is nice to have. The remote start and other features in the app would be kind of cool if they worked. I have the SV, and I really like the analog gauges. The digital driver's display is pretty useless. If you do scroll through to a screen that you like, it doesn't save, so you have to do it again the next time you drive. I don't usually go to the effort, so the useless default display is always there. It does ride nicely. It is smooth but not too soft. It is fairly responsive for its size, and gives you a feel for the road. It has adequate power and accelerates well. If something wasn't constantly rattling in my ear, I might enjoy driving it. The transmission shifts at odd times and too often - it could actually use a couple less gears. This is easy to get used to, though. I have found that it shifts much more smoothly on eco, so I use that when I have passengers. On a trip I can get over 400 miles from a tank of gas. The size is perfect - you can fit a lot inside. I can even fit my kayak completely inside and close the hatch if I am alone and fold all the seats down. It's nice to have that much space. In addition, I think it looks nicer than many competitors. Despite the upsides, I regret buying this thing every time I drive it. It was a huge mistake that I am constantly reminded of. The rattles and loud fan are too much to overcome by turning up the radio. They just make it feel like a proverbial "piece of junk."

I was SO looking forward to the 2024 Pathfinder. It rides really nice, but the electronics are a NIGHTMARE and work so intermittently that I tend to just not use them. This was the 7th Nissan I have purchased and will absolutely be my last. It has been a complete letdown.

I honestly don’t know where to start here as I have a lot to say. I downgraded from an $80k Yukon to the Pathfinder Platinum, at first this appeared to be a good car to downsize to, I am sadly regretting this purchase. Bought brand new in November 2023, but this is a 2024 model, and now have about 2k on the odometer. The night I took delivery the warning light for low washer fluid went on, even though there was fluid, the sensor had to be replaced by the dealer. Then the automated steering wheel and drivers seat for egress and ingress went out, the entire steering column had to be replaced. The Bose system is disappointing and I have to crank it up to at least half volume to hear decent bass, and it is overall not impressive for the top tier system in the Pathfinder, sounds mediocre and average. The drive is peculiar, there is a delay when you hard accelerate, as if the car takes some time to think before responding, which is super frustrating when you want to pass or accelerate fast. I have also noticed hard downshifts when I brake, such as a traffic light, it’s like the car is still wanting to move when I am approaching a full stop and it jerks forward. Of course the dealer could not replicate when they had it at the service department. Went on a recent road trip for the holidays with 2 adults, 3 children, and some luggage, the car struggled to maintain 80mph, it was disappointing and kept gear hunting and downshifted a lot. The V6 felt severely underpowered, could not imagine even having more adults or even towing something, honestly felt like the car was at its threshold and would break down if I tried to go faster. I see mixed reviews here and I agree with those reviews who are similar to mine, and also wonder how some here love this car…makes me wonder if in fact we are talking about the same car?? Perhaps I have a lemon, maybe my standard was too high and expected too much from this little SUV? I honestly can’t wait to trade this in, sadly with depreciation I’ll surely take a huge hit as I have also read the Pathfinder has a horrible resale value, and sadly have to wait to count down when it’s financially feasible to get rid of this! My advice, think twice before considering this car.
