    Ride/handling/V6 resemble previous vehicle, 93 M-B wagon with 4-wheel drive; V6 smoother than the competitors; transmission problem: downshift from torque-converter-lockout to OD stutters; wife likes low step-up and ease of loading packages; rear-end styling not distinctive

    I bought my Nissan Pathfinder two year old. Its now almost 2005 and I still have not had many proglems wiht it. The most major issue to me is the seat has just started ripping from normal wear. Overall this has been a great truck. When I do get a new vehicle I hope to purchase a Pathfinder again. Theyre awesome.

  • Real nice suv - 1999 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle in july of 1999. It has been the most reliable automobile I have ever owned. After breaking it in I changed to Mobil 1 motor oil, got two more MPG and it has been and outstanding dependable SUV. The car has never seen the dealership for any warrantee or recalls. That is how much you can count on this car everyday. Just turn the key and no matter the weather (4X4) your on you way. Now some six years old, these SUVs are great for college students. Offering plenty of room, not bad MPG 18-20, and a strong truck frame & body to protect your young drivers. What would you like to see you student driving? A small Civic or a REAL SOLID TRUCK? Sometimes bigger is better.

  • Super Buy!!! - 1999 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    Although the fuel economy could be better, and the engine could use more horses, this vehicle is fantastic. The ride quality is superb. The interior is very quiet. The handling is great. Fit and Finish, this vehicle is outstanding. My next vehicle will definately be a Pathfinder.

  • Going Strong - 1999 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    I bought my Pathfinder in Dec. 1999 as a bigger vehicle for my 1st born. Hes almost 12 and in that time weve had noo major problems. It only has 80,000 miles (I use it mainly to commute) and is going strong, so he may end up driving it at 16! The reliability of this vehicle has been excellent. My other cars have always been Toyotas, but this Nissan has been as (if not more) reliable than the Toyotas Ive owned!

  • An excellent choice and value - 1999 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    I bought used in 2001 with 27,000 and now have 81,000 in March 08. It a very comfortable and reliable SUV with lots of cargo space. No major repairs but I do keep it serviced regularly at my local Nissan dealer. I changed all the fluids about a year ago as a preventive maintenance procedure. During these higher gas price times, I would like better mpg but can live with 17 overall. Highway mileage is around 20-21. I like this body style much better than the new Pathfinder. Itclean and understated which I prefer. Excellent reliability and like to drive it.

    Great Truck. Great looks as well as performance. Have driven it about 52000 miles in two years exactly and never had a problem.

  • Value, Quality and Reliability - 1999 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    When I purchased my Pathfinder, I was seeking a mid-size SUV priced under $30,000 that was reliable and had some "get-up and go". Having been a previous Honda owner, my reliability expectations were relatively high. Nissan has met those expectations up to this point. Other than standard maintenance, I havent put any money into the vehicle. Im at 69,000 miles and still ticking!

  • 1st SUV - 1999 Nissan Pathfinder
    By -

    Bought this Nissan used in early 2002 with 42000 miles on vehicle. Had only one unscheduled maintenance problem, a computer chip in the polution controls, (check engine light stayed on). Have used for all types of occasions including some medium towing 3500-4000 lbs. It did and excellent job towing. At 7100 miles invested in a set in Michelins LT tires. Its like buying a new car for under$500. Milage has improved about 1 MPG.
