Oct 22 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Roomy, Drives Great, Doesn't Feel Like an SUV
Cons: None Really Important Enough To Mention

When I moved here to Georgia last year, I met a sweetheart of a guy who becamse one of my best friends. Because I was not sure of a lot of the area, I let him do most of the driving around in his 1997 Nissan Pathfinder and we drove all over the...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Roomy, Smooth Ride
Cons: Gas mileage, Tires

Last spring my husband and I had to go home on emergency leave. We drove the 18 hours to our hometown in our little Ford Escort. Mind you, the Escort is a nice little car, but that was becoming our problem, it was getting to be too small. with two...

Outwest

by lmccloskey
Dec 18 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliable, reasonably priced, comfortable
Cons: A few interior amenity problems, mediocre fuel economy

For the vast majority of buyers, even those of us out west - where the mountains have snow on them year round, and some roads have never been paved - SUV's are pretty much a waste of 4-wheel drive capacity. The average 4-wheel drive SUV owner users...

Nissan Pathfinder: Wow!

Oct 13 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Engine/Stick, Ride, Sound System, Comfort
Cons: Gas Mileage

I hate big vehicles. I hate SUVs. So why do I love my wife's 1997 Pathfinder?

We bought it in late January 2000 fresh off of a lease--she wanted to get rid of her 98 Wrangler (too uncomfortable) and had always wanted a Pathfinder. Thanks to...

Could be better

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Good snow traction, smooth and quiet
Cons: Thirsty, poor ergonomics, hard to service

I bought my 1997 Pathfinder XE new; it now has 42,000 miles on it. It came with two option packages, one that gave me power windows, door locks and mirrors; the other gave me limited slip differential, fog lamps and a luggage rack.

Lap of Luxury!

Mar 21 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: features, look, feel, comfort
Cons: hydro-planing

I bought this 1997 SUV used about 3 months after my 1986 Honda CRX was totaled in 1998. I decided I wanted a lot of car around me in the event of another such incident. The airbags are a comfort as well. This car is pretty much loaded as far as...

The Best of Traditional SUVs

by ZAD
Nov 30 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quality Construction, Excellent Antilock Brakes, Drivability, Cargo Room, Incredible value when purchased used
Cons: Maybe Engine Power, Rear Seat Legroom, Climate control system a little finicky, 4WD system is parttime- but at price can't complain

The minute I test drove our burgundy SE Pathfinder I knew I wanted it. I had driven everything before buying the Nissan, and found every other competitor severaly lacking in overall drivability. The Toyota, Mitsu,Passport and especially the explorer all...

Dynamic Driving Machine

by AndyMonin1
Dec 10 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Overall best SUV!!!
Cons: Gas mileage stinks compared to a car.

What are you looking for in an SUV? Size, power under the hood, comfort, safety, luxury? All of these should all matter to you, but ultimately you are looking for an around town vehicle with carpool capabilities. Very few people use the 4 wheel drive...

by dick112112
Jan 22 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good looks
Cons: Read Review

My family owns a 1997 Nissan PATHFINDER. This SUV is gold with many options installed. I think that the PATHFINDER is a good looking SUV with a decent amount of interior space.

What I like about the PATHFINDER is the exterior body styling. It...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Easy to handle, roomy, made by Nissan
Cons: Bad gas mileage

After leasing two Nissan Altimas over the past six years, my husband and I made the decision to but his current dream vehicle, the Pathfinder. Not necessarily my dream vehicle but I'm thrilled (with everything except the gas mileage unfortunately).

Sometimes the Bad out weighs the Good

by incus
Dec 17 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Car like ride
Cons: Needs new tires every 15,000 miles

"Rotate your tires every 3,000 miles". That was the recall I received for my 1997 Pathfinder to correct the front end suspension problem which led to the "cupping" and extreme tire wear. Though an ongoing problem that can be found...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Refinement, steering
Cons: Engine power (pre-2001), soft suspension

I was looking for a new SUV to replace my Dodge Dakota. My focus was primarily on the Jeep Cherokee because of it's "bang for the buck" ratio. After being insulted by the dealer however, I decided to swing by the Nissan dealer on my way home....

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Crash Test
Cons: ---
The Bottom Line: If you are going to crash, crash is this tank.

I am not going to analyize the SUV in features and other things here but on my personal experience in an accident. I own a 1997 Black Pathfinder. I live in Indiana and on Superbowl Sunday i was involved in a single car accident. As with any car my...

Pros: Reliable, comfortable and road worthy
Cons: Head room in the rear seat

I bought this vehicle 3 years ago. When I was looking for a SUV I thought I wanted a Rodeo or an Explorer. After driving both and then driving the Pathfinder I changed my mind. I was really impressed with the way the vehicle was made and the comfort,...
