Nissan Pathfinder

Family car which i feel is unsafe to Drive. We purchased this car brand new in July 2015 for approx $54,000. When we purchased the vehicle it came with 3 year warranty, at the time we enquired about extended warranty as we always purchase the extended warranty. We were told by the salesman that we didn't have to purchase it then and there and we could purchase it later on just as long as it was within the 3 years. When the car was about 2 years old we enquired about the warranty and was told by the service manager that we could not purchase...Read more

I have had my 2014 Ti Hybrid Pathfinder for over 4 years now and I’m very happy with it. It’s quiet, runs smoothly, has great pickup from stop, handles the road well and is comfortable. I drive 30km each way to/from work each day in the outer suburbs. I had not had any mechanical or noise problems since I bought the car brand new except after my battery died and the electronics affected my boot from opening and closing automatically, contacted my service centre who reset it at no charge. It gets serviced as per service book.
I love the reverse...Read more

Traded a beautiful WH Grand Cherokee V8 in for an R51 Pathfinder 2.5 TD Auto, primarily to save on fuel, it did do this...for the 3 months I had it.
The Pathfinder was beautiful to drive and reasonably good on fuel, had a nice transmission and was comfortable, not as comfortable as the Jeep but close. Car handles well but lacks ground clearance and articulation off road.
But the build quality of Nissan made the Jeep look like a Toyota by comparison. Cheap brittle plastics, paint rubbing of plastic trim, rattles, broken glovebox handles and sung...Read more

Purchased new early 2014, drove well for 3.5 yrs, 3 yr warranty, engine needed replacing mid 2018 @ 70000km from blowing white smoke, transmission needed replacing late 2018, dealer and Nissan did not offer any assistance at all as I missed 30000km service however only service I missed and engine failed after 4 more services.... tyres worn every 45000km, brakes worn every 40000km, mechanic told rear brakes quarter size of fronts with fronts still undersized for a large suv, fuel consumption 14.5l/100km-told was around 10-11 when bought...many o...Read more

This is our business car and I bought it over others because of its ability to utilitze hands free bluetooth, autostart, and sirius radio. The bluetooth prints out a choice when you speak someones name, so when I say "call Jane Smith mobile" there is a read out that gives me Jane Smith, home, office and mobile and then I have to use the touch screen, which takes my eyes off the road. The voice text messaging is terrible. They give you 10 standard messages to choose from, which are useless. It would be nice to be able to say "text message to...Read more

I'm lucky enough to get a Nissan Pathfinder STL for a company car, as far as a large SUV go I can't really fault it except for the following;
Tailgate doesn't lift high enough (I'm 6''2 and bang my head without fail) why build such a big car and make the tailgate so low?
Car should come standard with 20inch rims .. 18s look crap on such a big car.
Interior dates so fast, nice at first but soon becomes ho hum.
no Apple car play ... wow it's 2018.
12v power underneath stupid storage under HVAC controls, good luck with that.
Hard plastics feel an...Read more

I have a very tall husband, 2 young children and a large dog.
I upgraded from 2013 Nissan Dualis which I loved however it was just not big enough after our 2nd child. We use this car as the family car.
Pros
- second row of seats can move forward and back which gives more leg room for passengers and also more room for front passenger when rear facing carseats are installed
- isofix points for carseat
- birdseye camera over entire vehicle makes parking so easy (st-l and ti models only)
- drivers seat adjusts in so many ways. I am very ...Read more

There has been lots to love about the 2014 ST-L Pathfinder. Its incredibly roomy and comfortable, lots of features that ensure the whole family is happy, and easy to drive with the surround camera and powerful engine which is quiet and smooth.
BUT the tyres wear super fast, city driving consistently only getting 410km a tank, at 55,000 all brake pads were shot, rear shock absorbers need replacing, front strut in need of replacing (not so quiet over bumps any more!), CVT was replaces under warranty, I'm still not convinced it's right. Car is 2W...Read more

I recently purchased a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder Series 2. I find it to have an outstanding amount of power, excellent handling, heaps of features and the most interior room to accommodate a family. It is truly a 7 adult seater.
I purchased the ST model, for a base model vehicle it's far from standard. It's more of a mid spec car, the options include an 8" touch screen, tyre monitoring system, fuel management system, fully ducted air conditioning to all 3 rows, push button start, electric fold-in side mirrors, electric drivers seat, a very at...Read more

We bought our R51 Pathfinder second hand over a year ago. We bought it due to the roomy boot, it's 4x4 capabilities for our bush camping trips, and the fact that it is very easy to setup the back row seats in order to make it a 7 seater. (even I fit in the 3rd row and I'm not short!)
We have so much room in the boot, and in combination with the roof racks we can go bush camping off the car. It's a great tow vehicle. We have towed camper trailers with it with no problem at all.
We've had it serviced regularly and had no mechanical issues. T...Read more

I traded my 2014 Toyota (Tractor) Prado in for this beast!
I love it!
Jamb packed full of features! Plenty of power and so, so comfortable!
The family loves it too; we recently had a holiday trip from Melbourne to the Gold Coast, it was a dream for all! Skylight and Moonroof are awesome! The kids love the rear video screens where we can have a DVD on controlled by us in the front or you can plus a USB in the rear.
The radar protective cruise control is something you quickly adapt too. I tested it out and couldn’t believe it; driving up to a...Read more
