Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Strong engine, solid construction, spacious cargo area
Cons: Cramped rear seat, requires premium fuel, slightly tippy handling feel and slightly jittery ride
The Bottom Line: The Pathfinder feels like a truck, but a refined truck. The new engine still does not lead the class in power but is a vast improvement over the old one.
Normally I’m not very interested in SUVs, but the recent infusion of horsepower into many vehicles in this segment has gotten my attention. The Nissan Pathfinder was a case in point. For years the Pathfinder barely got by with a 3.3 liter six that ...

My sister needed a new car. Her husband had basically picked out their last three and she felt it was her “turn” to pick one out! She also did not want to pick one blindly and begged for my help! You see, we are twins and while she inherited all the math...

Pros: Smooth off road ride, spacious cargo area, sunroof, powerful engine
Cons: Premium gas, front recovery hooks
The Bottom Line: I am so spoiled with my Nissan Pathfinder that I don't think I could settle for anything less. I would highly recommend this vehicle.
Owning four 4-wheel drive SUVs is not a luxury to us but a must where we live. We live on the top of a mountain that has a 1 mile long uphill graveled driveway that you access from another primitive gravel/dirt road about 5 miles from a town with a...

I have been mulling over this subject in my head for the last few days. Are SUV’s truly driver’s cars? Or are they only for those who yearn to find outrageous paths to the supermarket? Surely, give an SUV and a car in any price range, and ...

My wife and I just got married and I was driving the better vehicle, so she wanted a new one, just kidding. She was driving a Saturn at the time, I still own my Pontiac, which was better :) Anyway we live in New York, his past Winter was not fun for...

I decided to purchase the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder XE 4WD as my 2nd car. I really wanted an SUV very badly, and I was considering giving away my Nissan Maxima. I really love Nissan and their cars, true Japanese road masters. Though when I was looking for...

Pros: Powerful Engine!, Practical Refinements and Features, Extremely Nimble for an SUV
Cons: Tight in the back for adults, Cabin is noisy during rainstorms, Insurance Cost
The 2001 pathfinder is a perfect melding of sport, luxury, and ability. I have owned this vehicle for 3 months, and so far I could not be any more pleased with the comfort and versatility this car has espoused. All of my buddies were quick to tell me...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth, car-like ride; extremely reliable; versatile; perfect amount of room
Cons: Some mechanical problems as noted above, but nothing major; low mileage; large turning radius.
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this as a used car purchase - just don't ask me to sell you mine because I am keeping it!
I bought my 2001 Pathfinder LE when it was 3 years old with 48K on it - at a price tag of half the original retail value when new. What a great deal! I've put 40,000 miles on it in the past 3 years, and enjoyed every minute of it. The car has taken me ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: A great combination of power and amenities
Cons: poor fuel economy
The Bottom Line: The best combination of features, power and value in any SUV that is currently available.
The first major decision that my wife and I faced after getting married was buying a new car. We live in Colorado and wanted a dependable 4wd vehicle that was fun to drive. We shopped all models of SUV's and narrowed our options to the Acura MDX,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, handling, cargo space, utility
Cons: Gas mileage, tire changing
The Bottom Line: This is an extremely versatile, comfortable, powerful vehicle that can do it all. If you're looking for an SUV look no further.
When I started looking for SUV's I was very limited by the fact that the vehicle I wanted had to have a 5 speed manual transmission. Nowadays the choices are limited in this respect. I narrowed my choices to the Nissan Xterra and Pathfinder. I test drove...

The Bottom Line: A great smooth ride that is expensive but stylish and comfy.
My brother just brought a new 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. I dont usually like SUV's I think they are two lane wide huge gass eating machines. The Pathfinder has many of the qualities, but it also has so much more that I find impressive. This is a true...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks, power, well-designed interior, smooth ride. Opportunity to deal on price.
Cons: (Premium) gas guzzler, no auto-locks, leg-room questionable for tall drivers.
The Bottom Line: Until Honda comes out with their version of the new Acura MDX, this is a best buy in the near-luxury SUV market.
I'll let you in on some of the reasons my wife and I went for the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder LE.
1. Price - While the sticker price can really get up there, you should be able to get a Pathfinder for at or below dealer's invoice (the dealer will...

Pros: Powerful, plenty of low end torque
Cons: Loves gas too much
The Bottom Line: This SUV has so many features for the price. The only thing missing is an Ejector Seat.
In October 2001, I purchased a brand new Nissan Pathfinder LE fully loaded.
I am not going to write statistics since those are available in different magazines and websites.
The Exterior
1. It is very classy, nice rounded edges, and...

I'm a car guy. Cool cars, cool trucks. You can read my review of my weekend car, my 92 Porsche elsewhere on epinions. Even though we've just had our first child and my wife can't fit the baby, the carriage and her hard luggage into her soon to be ...

Pros: Fun to drive and is packed with great features
Cons: Limited color choices
The Bottom Line: If you want a truck that beats its competitors and handles well on the freeway, then pick the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder.
The 2001 Nissan Pathfinder is ready to take on its competitors. Whether they are The 2001 Mitsubishi Montero, Toyota 4Runner or even the 2001 Toyota Sequoia, Nissan has a better package for the savvy and clever consumers. A few weeks ago, I ran into a...
