  LOVE MY CHOICE! - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By path27 - January 12 - 2:00 am

  If youre looking for the best SUV under 30K, this is DEFINITELY the car. Leading engine in its class, rugged yet stylish looks, roomy interior, EXCELLENT VALUE for the price, easy AND LOTS OF FUN to drive. Hybrid on-road/off-road claim is justified. Feels like a sedan on the highway/can handle almost anything you give it off-road as well. 4Runner and Cherokee dont match it overall

  Awesome SUV - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Chase - November 25 - 5:13 pm

  Great SUV, if youre buying an SUV expect to get and pay for the gas mileage of an SUV (17 mpg avg). Rides smooth, excellent steering, most comfortable seats front and rear, good utility, 4 wheel drive can plow through anything, gusto V6, Bose sound system is tuned perfectly- sound is great, soft touch plastics, great safe SUV. I have experienced a couple rattles up on the dash but very minor, 02 sensors went out at 75000 ($400), and the muffler (catback, everything) replaced at 65000 miles because it failed on me ($500). otherwise, great vehicle - look into it.

  Bullfights and Steeplechase Ads for Real - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By AccordEX2Pathfinder - November 16 - 3:43 pm

  Only 4 weeks out of an Accord EX, had to make a full-throttle accident avoidance when a red light runner skidded out of control on a curve. The Pathfinder literally LEPT out of the intersection and twisted around the oncoming vehicle. It remained level and solid thoughout and scared the beJesus out of me, as well as several bystanders. Awesome response and solid handling.

  Still Like It - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By TX Driver - September 15 - 1:16 pm

  I got my Pathfinder brand new and drive it 30 miles every day to and from work. My husband and I also wind up driving it on the weekends instead of his 2003 Chevrolet Pickup. We call it the "grocery wagon" because its so easy to access the back to put in shopping bags. It seems like it can haul just about as much as a full-sized pickup when we fold the seats down. Its sturdy, airtight, and has plenty of pickup on the road. I was looking for another SUV, but the new ones dont have much more to offer than my 2002 model.

  LE w/Nav System and DVD player - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Done-in - August 19 - 8:03 am

  Pathfinder purchased had 3500 miles and came w/ everything. Its a pleasure to drive, solid in construction and well designed. Time will tell whether it holds up. Dealership experience very positive. Did not seem eager to discuss the .9 financing. Picked up the car a couple of hours later; they took it upon themselves to do oil change and give full tank of gas.

  Good SUV, Bad Gas Mileage - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By James Darmawan - August 12 - 10:16 am

  I just purchase this car. I was crazy about the car aloaded with everything and the prices i got $19,000 with only 28 k on it. The only bad thing about this car, it drinks lots of gas. I know the newer nissans consume less gas.

  Gotta love this truck - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By nemoret - June 7 - 10:00 am

  This is my first SUV and I absolutely love it. The ride is smoother than any car Ive ever owned. The fit and finish is beyond reproach. Ive had the truck for 4 weeks now and cannot find a single defect, not a squeak, rattle or non-functional anything. Incredibly quiet. Id buy another today if I could.
