The pathfinder has been pretty good on gas mileage.. especially the highway. It's comfortable enough to sit a family of four for long trips, but gets a little cramped with five people. The Engine and transmission perform well, but the same doesn't go for the overall drive train. There could be issues with the control arms, and eventually might need replacing. This is not really a good trait considering that control arms are suppose to last just about as long as your car, plus this is a serious safety issue when going over 60mph on the highway. Overall it's been a good driver, but starts to lose some stability as the years pack on. I would recommend it for a careful driving family of four. Perform routine maintenance and paying attention to "problem signs" will most likely keep this car driving smooth and out of the shop for extended periods of time. The interior has been thought out in detail making the layout feel natural, comfortable , and look really pleasant. Being that it's not one of the super large SUVs, it's a car that you and your spouse could drive safely without any worries. Larger SUV's are gas guzzlers anyway. Out the box, I would say this car does have some issues ( as do they all), but the look and feel of this car is exceptional and a joy to drive.

I love my Pathfinder. It has just enough space and has a sun/moon roof. It's an older model and still going strong so I know it's built to last. It also has an alarm system to prevent theft.
