Stay away

This car is wack I have driven up mountains and because oxygen sensor got clogged it just turned off in snow storm. Transfer box broke transmission went out. The lights constantly turn on. The tires go flat constantly. Worst cat I’ve ever had. I bought it for the third row but it’s not reliable. Terrible terrible car

I love my pathfinder!

This car is huge! When I say huge I mean huge! Three rows! Ac/heat for all three rows! All of our kids sit comfortably with plenty of space! The second and third row can be put down and it have a decent amount of trunk space with a nice size compartment that you can store other things as well! It has a CD player and Bluetooth! Amongst a bunch of other features! I won’t lie it’s a gas guzzler buuuuttttt I dnt mind that part at all because my entire family fits comfortably and the car itself is really nice! One more thing the car looks way smaller than it actually is!

New Purchase Assessment

So far I'm very happy with this automobile: financially, aesthetically, reputation wise - but I really haven't owned it long enough to make an honest, definitive review or "personal assessment" of this product.

Not the best SUV

On an average it's a good SUV but features, elctronics ànd overall performance doesn't worth the money you spent. Collision sensor continued issue because of which cruze system goes down on highways, this is serious safety issue. ABS light comes on for no reson and goes away by itself. Trunk opening with remote is not installed in this SUV. No remote start with app for free. You have to pay for it.

Great car for the money

Lots of space and even has a 3rd row. Drives smooth and everything works good. Just wish the radio/user interface was easier to use. Very nice built

So far, so good!

Great car so far! Purchased in May 2020. Still learning about all the bells & whistles. The Pathfinder is the most comfortable car I've ever driven. Quiet ride, more than most.

Not a bad car

I have owned this car since Nov. 2019. I am the 2nd owner. I may be having an issue with the smart center in it have to take it in to be looked at & have a new konocking noise. But have no issues with it other than that. It is comfortable & cargo is small unless you put down the seats to the 3rd row. I like it but just think it could look a little more attactive for the exterior features. inside controlls are not very modern but are easy to use.
