Not to be outdone, the luxurious LE has 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels as standard equipment this year.

  One great SUV - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By navygz19 - April 24 - 3:43 pm

  Bought this Pathy 2 months ago with 47K on the ticker. This is my second 4x4 Nissan (first was a D21 Hardbody) and by far the best. This truck is solid, reliable and MORE than capable off road. The 4WD system/limited slip work perfectly together. On road the truck is sturdy, easy and very fun to drive. Interior space is wonderful; having the fold-flat rear seats is a great feature as well. Overall, an EXCELLENT value and even better truck!

  Fun Utility - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By vroooooooom - January 14 - 10:00 am

  Very powerful engine. Decent handling vehicle, excellent for an SUV. Lots of fun to drive. It seems smaller than I expected inside, but we traded in a minivan. Rear suspension was a little soft for towing 4500 lbs. But the engine is mighty and the brakes are good. Stock suspension is very car-like when not towing. I installed some air-lift suspension helpers and all is good.

  Great SUV - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Great SUV - October 29 - 9:33 am

  I have taken this car to sand/dirt roads were there was many pot holes, ruts, and 1-2 ft tall long bumps and it handles very well when rallying! In the rain it handles great with good tires. Handles well at 108 mph. I strongly recommend this SUV. Now for gas mileage I get about 16-18 mpg. Fun car to drive especially on long drives. If you by this car dont be afraid to give it gas!!!

  Best in its CLASS - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By bhaveshandsonal - June 8 - 10:00 am

  This is the best SUV I test drove and bought. I tried various others like the rip off 4Runner - which has no power and the Grand Cherokee had no power either plus a bad consumer reliability report. The Pathfinder is awesome with a lot of power and great style plus a lot of fun to drive!!!

  Quality, Dependability & Great Used Car - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By fasteddie - May 26 - 4:56 pm

  I purchased my Pathfinder LE in July of 2007. There were quite a few other vehicles being considered at the time of purchase but I opted for the refinement, body style and luxurious appointments of the Pathfinder LE. To this day the only issue has been the intermittent check engine light that comes on. I believe it is the o2 sensor which will be checked out next week. I have hauled everything in my vehicle, even 4 x 8 sheets of plywood. Try doing that in some other suvs... My overall satisfaction is extremely high. A highly recommended vehicle for anyone who appreciates quality, comfort and reliability!

  Best suv ever - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Pimp Daddy - April 29 - 2:10 am

  Its a beast on and off the road and its reliable and has great pickup. Roomy! Stylish. I put a cattle grille and rear tail lamp guards on my silver pathfinder so it looks more rugged.

  Very Much A Mixed Bag - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
  By bfife - April 26 - 10:00 am

  Bought my LE in Jan.02. Looks great,well thought out interior features,great engine,nice Bose stereo, but it rides like a buckboard, has pitiful headroom, and has garnered nothing but complaints from my family about backseat room, comfort, and ease of ingress/egress.Took it in because "service engine soon"light was on. Now after my 5th trip back to the dealer, its finally fixed.
