Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No 
Pros: Room, decent power, heated seats, Bose, transmission, rear heat.
Cons: Recall history / Nissan assistance, heavy steering, cheapo factory tires, body molding integrity.
The Bottom Line: We will not be buying another Nissan. Not due to the large number of recalls but the struggle to get Nissan to address them.
We bought this car as a do it all vehicle and it fits the bill. We have put 60K miles on it in the last two years and there is little to complain about and little to rave about either. The mileage is surprizing at 18-22MPG with more aggresive ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Reliability
Safetey Features,
Practicality
Fun to Drive
Good Looks
Cons: Foot space for third row seats is too small for adults.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend looking at the history of the 2005 Pathfinder before buying it, because it seems that many got a very good one, but some didn't.
It has been 5 years since I bought my 2005 Pathfinder LE 4x4 new. I have been reading a lot of customer reviews of this particular vehicle, and it seems to be a mixed bag. Some people absolutely love their 2005 Pathfinders, some have had ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Horsepower, handling, braking, Bose stereo
Cons: gas mileage, climate control is complicated, some warranty issues, all resolved
The Bottom Line: Great vehicle, solidly built, sporty, lots of horsepower, high profile for great visibility, very good braking, Great sound system
I've been happy with my 2005 Pathfinder LE for 1 year and 6 months now. Some people complain about the gas mileage, but that is the trade-off for horsepower, the Pathfinder can really accelerate. The 4.0 liter V-6 is rated at 270 horsepower. The fuel ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Acceleration, Navigation Logic, Styling, Suspension
Cons: Rear seat access/room, Navigation controls, Handling on bumpy roads, Annoying occasional rattles
The Bottom Line: Despite minor annoyances, I would recommend Pathfinder as a very well thought of SUV that is a good value for the money.
In December 2005 we have purchased one of the first new body style Pathfinders. Twenty two thousand miles later I would cautiously recommend this SUV, but I would do it with a few words of warning. Here is the list of the main things I like/dislike ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks, stability, torque, smooth economical Diesel, space, versatile seating, well equiped, Bose stereo.
Cons: Average road tyres, visibility over bonnet, No space in engine bay for 2nd battery,
The Bottom Line: Great value 7 seater 4x4. Very capable offroad, good towing, lots of torque, smooth powerful and economical diesel, love/hate styling, lots of space and versatile seating. Love it.
I bought a black Australian 2005 2.5L Turbo Diesel Pathfinder in December 2005 and so far I'm very impressed. I've owned 4x4's for 15 years including a highly modified, go-anywhere! Suzuki Sierra (Samurai) LWB with 33" tyres and then a 1993 Mitsubishi ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great Styling
Fast and powerfull
excellent on and offroad
Lots of room for cargo
Cons: gas mileage (to be expected)
slightly cramped backseat
cumbersome temperature controls
radio not loud enough
The Bottom Line: Overall definite buy. This vehicle has everything. Plenty of cargo room, 7 passenger seating, great horsepower and towing capacity and beautiful styling. It's a perfect blend of class and attitude.
Styling First I want to talk about the new styling of the Pathfinder seeing as how that's what initially catches everyones eye when looking at vehicles. I personally love the new styling. To me it's a bit of Acura MDX meets Hummer H3. The grill and ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, truck running gear, controls, interior, looks.
Cons: Some engine roar. A little body roll. 3rd seat access.
The Bottom Line: Awesome for any occasion. Full size running gear means full-size durability and fuel economy.
We dropped our beloved 2003WRX for the Pathfinder LE. My wife drives it daily and I take it on ski weekends. Ours has everything except for the DVD navigation system. The big selling points were the looks, interior, truck chassis, and Titan running ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Third row seats fold down flat, lots of thoughtful features
Cons: Poor fuel economy
The Bottom Line: When you need reliability along with the choice of hauling lots of people or lots of cargo, the new 2005 Pathfinder is an awesome choice.
We started getting flyers for the newly restyled 2005 Nissan Pathfinder and was immediately captivated. After years of looking pretty much the same, the Pathfinder has gone through a much-needed makeover. When we got a mailer from a dealer advertising ... read more

Best SUV Value Out There

Author's Product Rating: 50
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Safety, Performance, Reliability, Utility, Comfort, Styling.
Cons: Second and third row seating foot space is cramped.
We did a lot of research for months before deciding to buy our new 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. The only other SUVs that came close were the Volvo XC90 (too expensive for a problematic vehicle), the Honda Pilot (lacks that rugged SUV thing we wanted), and

2005 Pathfinder

Author's Product Rating: 30
Recommended: No
Pros: smooth ride, good towing capacity
Cons: fuel economy worse than advertised.
The Pathfinder gives a very smooth ride and is comfortable. I've had it for just under a year and have had the back hatch repainted due to rust. Now new rust spots are appearing on the back pannels. I am very disappointed since we all know rust spots

Excellent upgrade from previous Pathfinder or Xterra

Dec 26, 2004 (Show)
Author's Product Rating: 50
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Off road performance
Four wheel drive
Decent fuel economy considering size and weight of vehicle
Cons: Leg room on second row and third row
Skid plates not standard on all models
The 2005 Pathfinder is an excellent combination of off road and on road capability. I traded in my Xterra for the Pathfinder a month ago. I was looking for a car that was a capable as the Xterra, but offered more room for a larger family. I have taken
