My 2003 Nissan Pathfinder is one of the best cars I have ever owned. It is reliable, and comfortable. It has lasted for a long time, and has been reliable whenever I need it. However, the fuel efficiency is less than ideal.
Story
I once took the car all the way to Boston on a whim. A friend and I drove there and walked around the city all day. The radio in the car was perfect for the long drive.
Pros
The best things about the car are the reliability and comfort. I live in New England, so having four wheel drive in the winter is very helpful for driving in the snow. The car has never failed me, and has always got me where I need to go. It is also very comfortable and has enough room to fit 5 people as well as equipment in the trunk. The back seat is roomy enough to fit three people. There is plenty of trunk space to pack any larger items I need.
Cons
The worst part is the fuel efficiency. The car is not very fuel efficient which makes getting gas a frequent expense. The car does well on the highway, but in the city it does not get very many miles per gallon.

My Nissan Pathfinder SUV is a great car. When I went car shopping, I didn't know too much about it, but I feel in love. I like the vehicle because it is a decent size vehicle. I like all the features included, like the leather seats, heated seats, sun roof, etc. I don't have any dislikes about the vehicle, other than the parts are expensive. The overall performance is great!
Story
Having this vehicle has allowed me to traveling to places I wouldn't normally go. I have lots of memories driving from VA to MI for the holidays. Great times. I have one memory of when I first got the Pathfinder, my wife and I with coworkers took a trip to Ocean City, MD. This was a great trip, with lots of fun stories. The vehicle handled perfectly and I had many complements from my friends a... (more)
Pros
I like how it runs. It's a smooth ride. The suspension is great, the handling of the large vehicle is easy and effortless. For any kind of driver, male or female, large or small, this vehicle handles well with everyone. The power steering is great. Everything adjusts electronically. The room in the vehicle is plenty and doable.
Cons
I guess, one problem with the vehicle and that is the sun roof continues to malfunction. I've had it fixed numerous times. The other problem I had was the gas mileage. It would go 15/17 mpg. In these times, having to fill up the tank on a regular basis isn't pleasant.
