Having purchased this vehicle from a friend who was trading up to a larger vehicle, I wasn't sure what to expect. This SUV had seen a lot of miles and a fair amount of abuse. It was the right price, however, and I had heard good things about Pathfinders from friends. It has a classic design that I appreciate. I needed a vehicle that I could haul decent sized loads with but that would also be practical for in-city driving, and the Pathfinder is excellent on that front. It is dependable, and has never once left me stranded. Starts up first try every time, despite its age and rugged use.
