1992 Nissan Pathfinder

Pros: Reliable, well built, good on and off road, comfortable, well appointed.
Cons: Needs a little more power, interior is a bit "concrete slab" looking.

This is a great 4WD. Passenger car comfort and handling and more than capable off-road. Smooth tractable motor although a little thrashy above 3000 rpm. Not overly endowed with power, but goes past most other 4WDs up steep hills. Gearbox is a bit notchy - you need to be deliberate with changes. Fuel economy is to be expected for a 3l V6. Cargo carrying capacity could have been improved as the seats don't fold down completely. The cruise control on this model is the best I've ever used. Power windows are also very good. Mine has done 180 000 km and I'm going to trade it in on another Pathfinder.

Pros: Good ride, love that it's a stick and 4wd.
Cons: Rusting, paint sucks (but that's Nissan for ya)

I've owned my 92 Pathfinder since September of 2004. I've had some problems with it. About 2 months into owning it, my boyfriend and some friends had to replace my left tie rod, after I went over a speedbump! Then a couple of months later, after taken it out of 4wd, my speedometer stopped working. I'm taking it to the dealership this week. I bought a speedo cable for it (from the dealer-$70, couldn't find it anywhere online). A girl I know owns a pathfinder (auto-tragic) and her speedo is broken too! I don't remember what year, but I haven't heard of any others going. It's a good ride. I have a set of Kumhos on it, great tires. It's a stick and the cruise control doesn't work, but that didn't stop me from driving it from central PA to Atlantic City (after owning it for 1 month). My boyfriend owns an 03 Sentra SER SpeV. I loved his car and love the new pathfinders. I can't wait until I finish college and trade it in on a new one. I'm a Nissan girl for life!

Pros: reliability, looks, comfort
Cons: 4x4 needs more options, A/C shows low quality record, not comfy to camp in

I love my truck. It looks great and better on gas then Jeeps and such.
Needs improvement:in 4x4(outdated), needs rear diffs, A/C poorly build, can't sleep in it if you medium or tall height person.

Pros: Very reliable, comfortable and efficient. Low maintenance costs.
Cons: Turning radius is too large and carrying capacity is small.

Original owner of a 1992 Nissan Pathfinder with over 185,000 miles. This SUV has been extremely reliable and efficient. After all these miles, it still gets more than 20 miles per gallon, rides great and everything works well. I have the V6 with 5 speed manual, 31x10.5 all terrain tires, power steering, power door locks, power windows and CD player. I have never gotten stuck in snow or mud and use this SUV extensively for ski trips with five people and equipment.
