Nissan Pathfinder Customer Reviews

Pros

• Reliability

  This is my fifth Pathfinder. Change the oil regularly, make sure the tires are good quality and enjoy.

Cons

Pros

• Seat Comfort

  A comfortable ride for my bad back. Handles well for a rather large SUV, seems to have sufficient power.

• Interior Space

  more space than I need, but a wonderful thing to have

Cons

• Cost to Maintain

  Car's weak spot is the transmission. Sounds funny, and according to reports that I have read, can expect maintenance issues. Think I may have beaten that with an extended warranty to 75,000 miles.

Pros

• Seat Comfort

  Has the 3rd row seating along with a bench-seat 2nd row.The heated seats on front and middle seats are big plus.

• Fuel Economy

  good mileage around town. very good on interstate

• Technology and Entertainment

  great touch-screen control of technology

Cons

• Seat Comfort

  Passenger seat is low and does not raise

• Cabin Noise

  not so bad around town, but pretty noisy on interstate

• Cargo Space

  minimum when 3rd row seating along with is up. not as bad when 3rd row is down.

Pros

• Interior Space

  It’s beautiful! Mine is blue with saddle leather interior. Very smooth ride. Love the sport mode! Plenty of room to load whatever you need!! Love the way the second row slides up and back. Love my panoramic sunroof!

• Reliability

  Nissan is always dependable! I’ve had 2 Nissan 300ZX, 2 Xterras and now on my second Pathfinder! Can’t beat a Nissan!

• Ride and Handling

  Turns on a dime! Had to check this against my Infinity and performs just as well!!

Cons

• Dashboard

  There are NO CONS. But I would like some pretty colored dash lights.

Pros

• Interior Space

  Large and comfy, lost of space for car seats and leg room for tall passengers

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  it does not drink fuel but also not the best.

Pros

• Reliability

  A reliable engine with a proven track record to go over 250k miles mated with a 9 speed German transmission is a great combination that will long outlast others.

• Value

  4wd, the best all terrain tire brand, and equipped the same as cars that cost 15k to 20k more.

• Cost to Maintain

  keep up on maintenance and expect it to last for many years. No turbos, no complex hybrid battery, and any local mechanic can service it.

Cons

• Cabin Noise

  paired with all terrain tires can cause cabin noise at highway speeds. Great for offloading, though. Went through many of Nevada's trails without a hitch.

Pros

• Value

  overall, Nissan put a lot in the 2024. a lot of the features are found conveniently on my phone. The quality of the interior on the platinum trim is awesome.

• Ride and Handling

  I was skeptical of the ride and handling initially, because of the 20 inch wheels. As soon as I drove it, the pathfinder proved my apprehensions were unfounded. Smooth and solid, without being too rigid. and plenty of power from the v6.

• Seat Comfort

  The interior(seating), is well above reproach. it’s extremely comfortable. Especially, with the addition of vented and heated front seats.

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  The fuel economy is hit or miss. Some readings are economical. while others lean towards gas guzzling. And the gas readings at the pump aren’t consistent either. At fill up, it can say, 398 miles. Then at another, 430 miles.

• Technology and Entertainment

  This is not a solid con. Because the tech is very good. Except, the infotainment screen is dated as far as looks and responsiveness. But, when Nissan updates the screen and hardware and software, it will definitely be fantastic.
