  • My Second Pathfinder - 2004 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    When the El Nino storms washed away the dirt road to our home, we used our first Pathfinder to escape to safety along a steep horse trail -- since then, weve been hooked. Now on our second Pathfinder (we traded in the first one when it was 7 years old so that we could have a shiny new one for our babies), were still very happy owners. We know that if a mountain trip or weather requires it, our Pathfinder can find a way to get us where were going. And it drives well in the city as well. The ABS kicks in when needed, the steering handles curvy roads very well, and the seats are comfortable even for long drives. Although mileage could be better, we get a decent 16 city, 20 highway.

    Overall, its a well built vehicle. Very good ride quality and fun to drive. Its not a true 4x4 so its still a little squirrely on ice or slush.

  • My new Pathfinder - 2004 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    Though I just recently purchased this car, I have to say it has been the smartest purchase I have ever made. This SUV is smooth, powerful and great looking. No need to talk about the reliability, this is my third Nissan and the oldest has over 175,000 and still going strong.

  • The Most "Car Like" SUV on the Market!! - 2004 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    Handles like a car! Very fast and handles turns with no body roll! Dealer was excellent also, very knowlegable, curtious, and friendly. Visited quite a few and would never buy from any other dealer but Kelly of Lynnfield.

  • Awesome SUV! - 2004 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    Ive driven and owned a lot of vehicles and the Pathfinder is one of my favorites. Its truck tough yet drives like a comfortable car and has luxury car features. The quality, reliability is among the best in the business. It just feels solid!! It has the VQ35DE engine which has been on Wards 10 best list since 1995. This moves the truck with V8 authority. The All-mode 4x4 works very well. In "Auto" it reacts to changing road conditions quicker than its rivals and in "4Hi" it turns into a snow monster. I would take the Pathfinder over a 4Runner or Pilot any day. The only other SUV that feels tough, drives well and feels safe is the Lexus GX470.

  • Great SUV! - 2004 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    This is a great SUV and I am so happy with the Pathfinder. The only detracting feature is the gas mileage. Other than that, I would say that the Pathfinder is top notch! We got a heck of deal on the Pathfinder, considering that it was going for about 27,000 at invoice we paid about 3,000 below that. The ride runs well and sitting up high is really nice as well. If you are in the market for a midsize SUV, then this is the one to get.

  • Great SUV - 2004 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    This is the third SUV weve owned. The last one was repurched by GM under the lemon law. Have only owned this one for a short time but love every thing about it so far. Ride is a little stiffer than the last SUV which seamed to roll on corners. Hope we have better luck with this one.

  • worst car/suv I ever had - 2004 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    A lot of problems, SUV has under 100kmiles, service engine light all the time is there, bad catalitic converters and oxigen sensors, overheats uphill when I pull my boat, bad front suspension, bad brakes, piece of crap.
