Overview & Reviews
All 2003 Pathfinders will offer optional satellite radio, with a choice of XM or Sirius services. The LE model receives a standard leather-appointed interior, while SE models feature restyled wheels. Both models also feature a new four-spoke steering wheel and electronic rear-hatch window release. For safety, there is a new Vehicle Dynamic Control Package that bundles Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), traction control and a tire-pressure monitoring system. Two items no longer offered are the manual transmission and the optional navigation system. Guess you have to buy a map.
- Powerful V6 engine, carlike interior, solid reliability record, rear entertainment system option, available All-Mode 4WD system on LE models.
- Tight rear accommodations, high price tag, hard-to-fold rear seats.

Great vehicle with few errors - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder
By felix183333 - March 26 - 2:00 amI only own nissans and I judge them all and follow the improvements as they develop. I normally buy a nissan about every three years and have owned nissan trucks, sentras, altimas, maximas and pathfinders. Nissan, I can say is a corpration that is for the consumer and puts its best foot froward to please its buyers.

I love my Pathfinder! - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder
By ANN - March 26 - 2:00 amI loved my 2001 and bought another almost identical to it. It has even better, more improved features and the XM radio is awesome! And it will scat, but the gas mileage is similar to the old one.

Solid Vehicle - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder
By mrcarp - February 25 - 8:45 amPurchased used from a work aquaintance in 2006 with only 17,000 miles. Now has 58,000. So far, so good. Same issues, CD skips when cold, leather around seat adjusters cracked a bit, heat shield rattle, evap leak - check engine light has been on for about 4 years now. For those with same issue, I would try a new gas cap for a potential fix. Also, use Maguires leather treatment - works great & eliminates the golden retriever smell. Had new oil pan, etc. installed in December 2011 for about $1,000. So far cost of ownership is as expected - we live in Vermont & the winters are brutal on vehicles.

Best SUV Value - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder
By Nissan Again - January 22 - 2:00 amBest combination of power, handling, ride, and comfort of anything in this class. Combined with an excellent lease promo from Nissan and above average residual value makes the Pathfinder a great value.

Not the Best Family Vehicle - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder
By Wetfly - December 19 - 2:00 amShoulda done more homework: We were taken by the performance, responsiveness, and sporty look of the Pathfinder, but quickly came to realize that the back seat and cargo areas are skimpy, and the ride is...well...jumpy? The V6 is fun, but combine that with some mediocre rubber and no Traction Control, and pulling out into a wet intersection during heavy traffic can get dicey...
