The sound of the engine is beautiful, it purrs. The steering is smooth and at higher speeds stiffens to accommodate smoother driving. The horsepower is fun on such a small car.

I bought my pathfinder from a friend of a friend about a year ago. It already had about 30,000 miles on it, but was in good physical condition and I was in desperate need of a new vehicle. I didn't know it at the time, but I was purchasing one of the best vehicles I had ever owned. The interior is a nice, tan leather. The seats are very comfortable, and the floor boards are extremely easy to clean. It is spacious, which, as someone who is responsible for three children, won me over almost immediately. The shape of the car is aesthetically pleasing, as well. The car had no big mechanical issues, and continues to run quite well for a vehicle that is almost 15 years old. It is fairly good on gas, and runs pretty smoothly. The only repairs that I've had to make were putting in new spark plugs, which is no big deal, and likely not an issue with the car as much as it is the fact that I live in a very rural area with lots of gravel roads and potholes. Ever since I have replace the spark plugs, I have not had any problems with my car. As someone with several pets and three children, the fact that this car is quite spacious is a big plus for me. We are an outdoorsy family, so the roomy trunk comes in handy for things such as backpacks, water bowls, changes of clothes, and coolers for food and drinks. This allows us to travel to places like hiking trails without making any of us uncomfortable by having to hold and of things. This is something that we had to do in our last car.

From the moment I purchased this car, I was in the love. You get the power of the bigger cars in the small package that is the 1-series. This equates to a hell of a fun ride! The styling of the car is subjective. Some people will love it, others will hate it. But this is a driver's car. If you appreciate feeling connected to the road and love the responsiveness of a tossable car, this the car is for you!
