  Great mid size SUV - 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Dan Castro - November 21 - 2:00 am

  This is the best truck Ive ever owned, with plenty of power and quality. 26000 and no problems whatsoever only oil changes. I love to drive this truck however, if you are going to use the back seat a lot it is not as confortable...I highly recommend this SUV.I have been using unlead gas eventhough premium is required and I have noticed no change in perfomance or increase or decrease in my mileage. Premium gas only once/month.

  Reliable SUV, but boring after a while.

  Why havent you bought it yet ? - 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Nick - September 8 - 6:03 pm

  Well i just traded in my 1993 Maxima and my 1998 altima for the 2001 pathfinder. I absolutly love the truck. The 4 wheel drive is excellent, the VQ35DE engine delivers the power i was looking for, and the auto tranny is smooth as glass. i had 255 tires on mine when i got it so i was pleased. The ride is supportive and the interior is roomy. Ergonomics is nice and interior parts are not cheap feeling.

  Great SUV - 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
  By mainecamrydriver - July 11 - 10:00 am

  I love this vehicle. Its a blast to drive everyday. It will get up and go when you want it to but is also a nice ride when youre taking it easy. Ive been impressed with the power and like the smaller size for getting in and out of tight spaces around town. Its also performed well in rough weather. Ive towed a number of trailers with it and it will maintain 75 mph on the highway while towing a good load. What can I say, Its great!

  BEST SUV EVER - 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
  By JC - May 26 - 7:43 pm

  I always owned Nissans. But this is my favorite ever. It looks awesome from the outside, and interior is cozy. Well, it is a little thirsty, but you gotta expect that when you buy an SUV. It is very powerful, handles like a car. I would recommend it to anyone.

  Best suv hands down - 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
  By zach7685 - May 19 - 8:01 pm

  We have owned three pathfinders over the years. we currently have two! I love my 2001 LE its the best SUV for the money! it has 200K and runs top notch! the 2001+ have the bigger 3.5 engine and you can tell a differences. Only thing iv had to replace other than normal maintenance was the MAF sensor. Hint (replace with Maxima its cheaper)

  Excellent choice, best vehicle Ive had - 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
  By BryanDMC - May 4 - 10:00 am

  The 2001 Pathfinder LE 4WD has power, a smooth ride, and is extremely fun to drive. The Bose system sounds excellent and I cant stop putting miles on this excellent vehicle. Build quality/workmanship has been great. My only issue is the milage, but that is even great compared to other SUVs. A small price to pay for an excellent vehicle.

  A winner - 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Lynda - May 4 - 10:00 am

  A lot of fun to drive. Finally.... enough power for the L.A. freeways! This puppy can get out of the way in a hurry! Provides a comfortable ride. A little noisy (wind noise and road noise). Great size- easy to get around in (great turning radius) and can haul a fair amount. Quick and easy to flatten rear passenger seats for more storage area. Great sound system (although the CD player takes a while to kick in).

  A Homerun - 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
  By danimal - April 3 - 10:00 am

  Im researching my Pathfinder and had to jump in with my review. Nissan did extremely right by this vehicle and gave every owner what they paid for including this meticulous driver. My pathfinder has been virtually maintenance free on the replacement repairs but I maintain it in OCD style. I rated the MPG a little higher than most because you have to take into consideration the high performance motor powering it and this is why I purchased it. Never has a vehicle satisfied Me, with the exception of our G35, as this one.In a world of MPG crazed, gutless vehicles, Ill take my Pathy and pay for it all day. Do your own research and drive a few as I did and you will agree.
