Great SUV - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
By johnmorfd - May 19 - 2:00 amI bought the vehicle on the first of February in 2002. I have found the SUV to be quite powerful on acceleration. The suspension is very tight with no road rattles or squeaks to be heard. Of course there is a small amount of road noise due to the 17 inch agressive tires. I found the exterior paint to be flawless. This was not true of the 2 Hondas that I own. The interior was just as nice.

Great SUV--beware of tire wear - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
By passionforskiing - May 13 - 4:16 amTerrific SUV and I would definitely purchase another one. I drive 42K/yr. and am very satisfied. If you buy one, be sure to rotate your tires often. I do it every oil change, 5K.

First SUV and loving it - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
By Jim Lewis - March 13 - 10:00 amI bought a 4x4 2002 Pathfinder LE. This is the first SUV that I have owned. My previous car was a 1992 Lexus GS300, and I dont miss it. While the Pathfinder is certainly not a Lexus the ride is comfortable and the drive is very simular to a car. I have taking the Pathfinder off road once up in Malibu and it was a rush - after I got half way into it I realized I was dinking around with a new car so I slowed it down, but it was fun. The Pathfinder was able to hadle the trails very well. The milage I have gotton around town is about 14MPG and hwy has been about 17MPG. I test drove just about everything else out there and I am very pleased with the decision so far.

4x4 heaven - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
By KEW - January 29 - 2:00 am2002 pathfinder SE is untouchable in most ways. Power, stability, styling, quality, ride comfort and did I mention power. However, every time I stomp on the accelerator pedal I see the needle on the gas gage drop...oh well, nobody said heaven is perfect and the sacrifices are well worth it!

Still going - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
By jma10 - January 12 - 8:11 pmI inherited this car from my parents. My dad used to drive for a living and I received it with over 200K miles. I just hit 303K and still going strong. I love this car and the only problem Im having is finding something equivalent to upgrade it. The newer pathfinders are completely redesigned with a third row seat that I am not thrilled about. I love my cargo space and moving 4-5 time in college, I could fold down my seats and fit just about anything including large furniture. Of course I didnt maintain my car as properly as I should have being a young adult but my check engine light stays on.

Great Deal on Pathfinder - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
By bman33 - October 31 - 10:00 amShopped the Pathfinder against Honda Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Escape. No comparison. Pathfinder had a cheaper lease, better equipment, more power and nicer ride than all the above. We were able to land a 2002 SE automatic w/ Popular package, mats, in-cabin filter for $27,000.

Nice duds - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
By potter1021 - October 25 - 10:00 amJust purchased an 02 LE. Love it. Had a Honda prior- a lease. DONT EVER LEASE. I made that mistake 3.5 yrs ago. My Pathfinder has all the perks. Smooth ride. Substantial power when I need it. Averages better gas mileage than advertised, 4-5 miles better. Nissan should revise the mpg to 19/23. Excellent vehicle to start a family with.

After One Week In Our New 02 Pathfinder - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
By ChicagoPathfinder - October 25 - 10:00 amAfter a week with our new Pathfinder LE I must admit that Im very impressed overall. I also heavily considered the Toyota 4Runner, Infinity QX4 (almost the same vehicle as the Pathfinder), and Lexus RX300. Build quality is excellent. Performance excellent! Price was less than the Lexus and the Toyota. Drives more like a car than a truck. Not the most attractive of the bunch (the 4Runner is better looking). However, the 240 HP engine and towing capacity (tows my 2500 lb boat) put the Pathfinder well over the others. Even without the towing capability I would have chosen it though.

Total comfort - 2002 Nissan Pathfinder
By Mr. Ron - September 6 - 2:00 amThis is my first SUV. I never really considered a Pathfinder in the past because I thought of it as an off road vehicle, which I really didnt need. Then I sat in one at the NY Auto show and thought, this is really nice! I bought one and I love it. Though the gas mileage isnt the best, everything else about it outweighs that drawback. Its extremely comfortable, great handling, and has everything I would every need. My local dealer is great also. Very accommodating. So far, Im very pleased.
