I purchased my Pathfinder new in 2009. I have been driving it for 10 years and have driven it across country more times than I can count. I had it shipped to Hawaii for the 3 years I lived there and it was perfect for hauling my double ocean kayak on the roof rack. I have put 187,000 miles on it and it is still driving like new! The gas mileage is lower than I would like. The interior has red leather and still feels luxury. I have a sun roof, a back-up cam, and a 6 CD Bose system in my Pathfinder. It fits all of my needs. I chose it because it is compact but has 3rd row seating and can fit the whole family. I have had zero mechanical issues with it and will probably get another 10 years out of it. Nissan has gained a lifelong customer out of me.

One of my first cars was a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder. The truck was a 5 speed and I learned how to drive on and off-road in the Pathfinder. The truck was really easy to learn how to drive off-road and did pretty well in some crazy off-road situations. The truck was pretty comfortable to drive around in and I enjoyed the way it looked. It didn't have the best mileage but did carry quite a lot of stuff when we went camping. The body had no rust after we sold it in 2002. The clear coat was starting to chip but there were really no issues with it mechanically.
