My Nissan Pathfinder has been a wonderful family car for my husband and I. We have two young kids in car seats and have had plenty of room for all of our gear. The optional third row is definitely for those under the age of 12. Very little leg room, but the rest of the car makes up for it. The vehicle drives and rides like a truck. Moves quickly but does take a bit of time to come to a complete stop. There are plenty of windows in the car to make it very easy to drive and see out of. Integrated back up camera comes in very handy. The radio has a known problem of not keeping presets and not remembering the last radio station you had playing. We have not been able to use the 4x4 to it's full extent, but it does handle itself very well in snow. It has come in handy for an essential employee like myself!
