This Year's Model Updates:

The 2002 Nissan Pathfinder receives only minor refinements. These include a new front grille, steering wheel and a revised audio system with new faceplate and faster functioning in-dash six-disc CD changer. The SE trim, now the base Pathfinder since the XE has been dropped, features a new titanium-accented step rail and roof rack with integrated air dam, body-color bumpers and fender flares, new 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and new seat cloth. Not to be outdone, the luxurious LE has 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels as standard equipment this year.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6 engine, car-like interior, solid reliability record, rear entertainment system option, available Infiniti All-Mode 4WD on LE models.
Cons:
  • Tight rear accommodations, high price tag, hard-to-fold rear seats.

  • Not a bad SUV - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    This vehicle is solid all-around with no surprises good or bad. The engine is strong with good passing power and the handling is very good for an SUV. The battery and the wind deflector did need to be changed. No other problems so far.

    Its truly no comparison. The build quality is perfect. 100% reliable. Bought the truck used (05) and havent had any problems ever. Very powerful engine and very smooth on the road. Its like driving a luxury vehicle. Go test drive one to believe.

  • BEST CHOICE! - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    WE BOUGHT OUR PF USED AFTER COMPARING TO HONDA, INFINITY, & TOYOTA. RIDE BETTER IN NISSAN. COULDNT JUSTIFY PAYING CLOSE TO 30K FOR A USED VEHICLE. TRIED TO BUY GM BUT COULDNT COMPARE AND WE KNEW SOMEONE WHO HAD TWO PATHFINDERS IN THE PAST WITHOUT ONE TRIP FOR A REPAIR. THE RIDE IS NICE AND COMFORTABLE (WE ARE ALL UNDER 59"). LOVED OPTIONS ON THE LE. PUT TOGETHER BETTER THAN GM - WE HAVE OWNED SEVERAL WITH LOTS OF REPAIRS AND SMALL THINGS GOING WRONG WITH AFTER 2 TO 3 YEARS. THIS VEHICLE IS SO SOLID! SEARCHED HARD TO FIND A USED LE - MUST SAY SOMETHING!

    Coming from a 98 Explorer, I cant believe the difference in ride quality. The Explorer beats you to death while driving. On the other hand the Pathfinder is as smooth as any CAR out there. The engine is powerful and smooth and the transmission shifts very smoothly. It also holds its value much better than the domestics.

    paid $500 under invoice plus $1000 cash back. Dealer was excelent to deal with, had to do the usual haggle with my trade-in.Got alot of xtras with my deal. Dealer was part of Auto Nation and I was able to see the whole deal before I was presented papers. No hidden costs or fees.Five star rating to Brown & Brown in Tempe Arizona!! Been back a few times since and all I can say was its been along time since anyone held a door open for me at a car dealership!

  • Best SUV - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    This is the best SUV for the money. I had a number of GM SUVs and the Nissan quality is superior. Great power, quiet, and stylish. Only real drawback is the gas mileage. The resale value is also outstanding compared to any American SUV. For a few thousand more, get the LE - the added features are well worth it. Im sold on Nissans.
