This Year's Model Updates:

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.

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

  • The best of the rest! - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    In March I traded in my 1997 Chrysler Sebring Convertible towards my purchase of a brand new 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. This car not only beats out any other SUV Ive driven. I work for Enterprise Rent A Car, I drive all makes and models often, and just like Red Riding Hood, I am picky....The Durango & Trailblazer are excellent, but too trucklike. The Jeep Grand Cherokee down the road is one of my brances best customers for service, that has to tell you something about that vehicles quality.

  • Still the Best SUV - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder

    Ive own Pathfinders since 1990.. and today, still is the best SUV on the market. Excellent acceleration, superior handling and when it comes to drive like a car none beats it. Also awsome handling under extreme conditions such as towing and off-road. Cannot be bother by fuel mileage for a mid to large V6-240 hp engine.

    I think it really depends on what you were driving before. If you were driving a cadillac, you might not like it as much. I went from an 88 Honda CRX to this and I LOVE IT!! The ride is smooth, the stereo is great, and it didnt break the bank. Gas mileage in an SUV always isnt going to be the best but Im averaging right about 20/gallon so I cant complain. I love my new car. And theres so much room inside. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

  • PF LE 2003 - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder

    I checked out just about every SUV on the market before deciding on the Pathfinder. There is no comparison. The PFs ride, handling, styling, utility, and comfort exceed all oter SUVs out there. And it is priced well. I have two kids and I am planning on taking a cross country drive with it.

  • Pathfinder: A Great Find - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder

    The best car we have owned (and the most expensive) very comfortable, and fun to drive. Really love it but wish we had 4wd (just in case. Also the engine is awesome, great acceleration.

    This is a great truck. Its offroad abilities are very good and performance is also very good. The comfort and styling is also great. No problems with this truck at all.

  • Great Car - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    I just recently purchased a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. Its a great car, very lush and luxurious interior. The only problem is its a little light on headroom. Even me at 60 just barely fits in the drivers seat. But other than that great car and it looks awesome!

  • This truck rocks!!! - 2003 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    This is my 3rd pathfinder. Drove the first pathfinder available in Ohio when they first came out. Purchased a second. I was not happy with the design about 5 years ago. Decided on a durango. BIG MISTAKE. The pathfinder is a great vehicle. Smooth, tons of power, very sharp. I get tons of compliments. I love to throw the keys to others to take for a test drive. They all come back smiling!!
