Lowered my pathfinder and placed 22 rims and always placed in sport mode. Drives like a car! Downside is, need to change tyres with only 50k's unlike with my sportage it has 100k odo (driven everyday by wife) till now tyres still intact. Don't ever use continental factory supplied tyres. Better with kumho!

Love it

Can't recommend this car enough. Roomy interior, massive boot space and easy access to the rear seats.
The kids love the climate control in the rear and the inbuilt entertainment system. The heated/cooled seats for summer/winter make long driving so much more comfortable.
Our camping trips are so much easier now.

Be careful

published

Comfort and space is great, economy is great (we have the hybrid version); however when it comes to the issue with the 'transmission' 'cvt' and maybe the internal clutch system - well I have no words - 1 1/2 years in and I think its been back at the dealer more than we have driven it - they are still trying to find the problem of the jerking and shuddering, and we are running out of patience. We know we are not the only ones - this seems to be a problem world wide. Problem doesn't show up until about 4k on a new car and on a new transmission (which they have done for us). Do your homework first, probably better off with a second hand one that you can test drive for a week to see if its one of the unlucky ones! Good luck!

Couch on wheels

published

As I said it is a couch on wheels, big, spacious and has plenty of room for all our boys and pieces. You can't tell if you are in a car, smooth driving, fabulous interior only complain is the amount of fuel it consumes. Oh I forgot the dual climate control.

published

Driving experience excellent, handles well, very little engine and wind noise a pleasure to drive.
The only dislike is the gauges and speedo are hard to see during the day with sun glasses on, night time very good, Dash board excellent, plenty of leg room, love the reversing camera and Hi Fi Sound system
Reliability excellent, running costs 9 to 10 litres per 100 kilometers range 750 until warning light comes, very economical for such a large vehicle,
Plenty of power and torque to tow my 2 tonne boat

Nissan Pathfinder ST 2001/02

published

Bought new in 2001, used for 5 years occasionally towing 15ft caravan, lovely drive, easy towing. It is so comfortable and nice to drive, now 2017 and 66K later I would not swap it. Its in great condition and the 4WD options are so easy to use. It is a true off-road vehicle. Still in original condition, except for tyres and battery, Serviced once per year.No breakdowns, no faults,so reliable, paintwork good, Always garaged.
I get 7km/L around town, 8/9Km/L country .(not towing) Towing various from 5km/L to 6.5Km/L depending on conditions.
I think I will keep it for the very foreseeable future.

7 seater to suit adult sized people

published

Easy to drive has plenty of power but hard to park. Can't see where the bonnet ends and there are quite a few blind spots.
Loads of room inside in the middle row and plenty of room for adults in back row. Comfortable seats for driving long distances
Petrol usage is 8.8km/l not bad for such a large car.
All standard accessories that are easy to use

TI Pathfinder Transmission problems

published

This is my first new Nissan after being a Toyota customer for more than 10 years. Unfortunately the car developed transmission vibration and after some research I am not the only one. The vehicle started having this issue at 5K and now after many times back to the dealer at 28K the transition is getting changed. As I understand many cars had the transmission changed more than once with the fault coming back. This is well know issue to Nissan I am sure but they are playing very low. I hope the transmission change will fix the issue in my case otherwise I will become their worst nightmare.

Love this car, 360 camera, 12 speakers Bose system, space and size for 7 seats. Good pricing compare to only competitors. Good family hauler without the people mover looks.

Thirsty, but expected from a 2t vehicle on petrol. Surprisingly zippy when required and very economical when cruising at hwy. luckily i don't have any issue with the transmission like others.
