Pros: great visibility, safety, reliability, smooth ride
Cons: Poor rear visibility if a back tire rack is mounted
The Nissan Pathfinder is the best SUV that I personally have ever driven. I leased two of them. The first was a 94 and the second was a 96. I originally got the first one because of a bad winter we had in 1993. This particular winter my little RX7...

Pros: Looks Good -- Designed Well
Cons: Death Trap -- Engineered Poorly
I bought a new Nissan Pathfinder SE in 1996. At first, I was tickled pink, very pleased with myself. I loved the new body style, and friends who had owned Pathfinders previously recommended them highly.
For approximately six weeks, I...

Pros: Smooth ride

It was time to chuck out my 1986 Subaru GL last year (1999) and I decided with two children I wanted something safe and roomy...and that had working air conditioning, a working radio, and other luxuries that my Crudaru didn't provide.

Pros: Nice look.
Cons: Price, repairs, noises, dangerous.
Purchasing the 1996 Nissan Pathfinder NEW was one of the worst decisions we had made. Unfortunately, as with any new re-designing, there are quirks and bugs. Well, this SE needed some serious exterminating. We picked it up in March of 1996 and by May...

Pros: HANDLING! Looks, Cargo, Quality
Cons: Torque, MPG, Cost
The Bottom Line: Drives like a car, and has about as much power. Comfortable and well built with average gas millage.
I have two small children, and previously owned a Ford Ranger Supercab. One day, while I was putting them in the jump-seats I tried to figure out how safe it was back there, and learned that night that children are 5 times more likely to get seriously...

Pros: comfortable, sturdy, reliable, good residual
Cons: only seats 5, back seat gets cramped
It's time to turn in my leased 1996 Pathfinder. This SUV has been a great starter family vehicle. We leased it (new) when I was pregnant with my first child and needed more room for baby and a large labrador. Although it was a bit pricey, the sports...

We had owned our Pathfinder almost 2 years, drove it cross-country more then once. We had clocked several thousand off road miles, and had never had anything bad happen to us. Never stuck, never left on the side of the road. On May 13th, 1999, we were...

Cons: Weak Engine
Unlike 90% of SUV owners I take my Pathfinder off-road, a lot. Not to say that I take it on the Rubicon or anything, but living in Maine and having to get around to campsites and the like in snow, mud, ice, etc, has provided me with an adequate...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good all-around SUV
Cons: Not well adapted to heavy off-road use
The Bottom Line: It's Ok. If you can find a good deal on one, and it's been taken care of, it will be fine.
I bought a 1996 Pathfinder LE used in 1999. It only had 36k miles on it, and figured it was one of those 3 year lease deals that got turned in. Was in great shape when I got it, and didn't seem like it had ever been taken off road (not seriously,...

WE bought the Pathfinder to handle our increasing amount of cargo we were carrying around and the price was right. Nice and roomy, one of the many trucks we test drove, this one seemed to be the best for our buck and our mechanic said it was in excellent...

I purchased a used Nissan Pathfinder several months ago and love to tell people how much I enjoy this vehicle. The roomy interior and smooth ride you get with this SUV is a wonderful surprise. We live in the interior of Alaska and the 4x4 on it has...

Pros: We're talking Nissan- Skip to cons!
Cons: By 50K miles, I could have bought a Hummer.
The Bottom Line: Please no- Don't go there.
My husband and I bought our 1996 Pathfinder SE 4X4 new in March 1997. Since then, we have had so many problems, I don't know where they start and where they end. Currently, the P.O.S. has about 52,000 miles. Thus far we have had:

Pros: It's smooth, it's stylish, it's reliable
Cons: Average acceleration and cornering
Let the initial depreciation wear off and buy a used Nissan Pathfinder SE 4x4. I did, and it's the best car decision I've ever made.
The repair history is virtually non-existent, the styling has remained "in style", and the...

I purchased my new '96 Pathfinder LE in April of 97. With a $34,000 MSRP (approximately) I was able to get it for under $28K...and it has every option imaginable... The heated leather seats I could do without here in Phoenix, AZ...but the rest of the...
