Overview & Reviews

After a substantial update in the middle of the 1999 model year, the Pathfinder soldiers into the new millennium without change. However, rumor has it that later in 2000 the Pathfinder will get a massive power upgrade.

• Rugged styling, carlike interior, reliability record.

• Weak V6 engine, tight rear seat, high price tag.

  Love It... Annoyed With It - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Shannan - May 3 - 10:00 am

  Very comfortable SUV with wide, roomy interior. Have had problems with drivers seat adjustments (which they seem to be unable to correct). I feel that it is a safety issue. Also some minor leaking of sunroof when it rains right after time of intense sun exposure (normal in Florida). Very quiet when sunroof open. Maroone Nissan in Miami has been horrible from the start. I do not recommend them. Nissan, on the other hand, seems to really care about customer satisfaction. I would buy one again.

  Nissan Pathfinder LE 2000 - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
  By fishie - March 26 - 10:29 pm

  Its in very good condition despite its lack of check ups when my dad drove it for years (he was always busy) and its a very solidly built car compared to our other cars. I usually just drive to school, work, and the store with no problems whatsoever. Handles very well, and blessed with the AWD during the winters. Although rusting a bit on the front of the body by the bumpers, those are just external things not so important to me. The gas mileage isnt great, but its gotten me from point A to B successfully and safely every time, and Im so glad weve kept it for me to drive. Currently at 140,000 miles, most likely more, and going strong. This thing can run for YEARS!

  Going Strong - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
  By DC10_Flyer - March 16 - 2:00 am

  My 2000 Pathfinder is now 4 years old and going strong. I only have 33,000 miles on it, but use it daily and havent had any problems. Quality is excellent. Like others, my only complaint is the lack of power and fuel economy. Before this model I had a 1997 Pathfinder and it was underpowered as well, but perhaps even more so. Although Im not in the market for a new car (I loathe the thought of spending $30k for a car) Id buy another Pathfinder in a minute.

  Bulletproof - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
  By whittonm - March 7 - 10:46 pm

  In 8 years of ownership, the only major repair was the replacement of the ignition key switch after 3 years. Other than that, just tires, oil, etc. Performance is OK, fuel economy is fair, interior is nice, driving position is excellent, AC held up well during 7 TX summers. This truck is bulletproof.

  Still Going Strong at 171K. - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Peace - January 25 - 4:10 am

  Purchased this car in Oct. 1999, and its a very good car to my family of 4. In the past 10 years I havent got any issues to the engine. The original parts still in the engine such as timing belt or chain, sparks plugs, all the belts, air conditioning unit, fluid, ect. The only parts that have replaced is suspension on the front/back, tires, front brake, oil change every 7-10k, and air filter every 25k. The passenger window wouldnt work about 5 years now, but who cares! Currently the trade-in value for my car is $1600. Therefore, I wouldnt pass up on the cash clunkers deal, and hopefully my new 2010 Honda Pilot have a same performance like this car.

  Great truck for anything! - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Beezie - January 21 - 5:26 am

  I bought the SE in 2002 with 22,000 miles and now it has 132,000 miles. No major problems at all! Regular oil changes and new tires and shocks, it rides like its brand new. Its very agile around sharp turns and very capable on washed out roads. A K&N air filter gives it more power. Regular easy maintenance keeps it running and running. Its very reliable, everything is working correctly. Lack of power but the 3.3L V6 is very easy to maintain, very reliable. I love this truck.

  99.5 Pathfinder 217k miles no problems - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Ryan - December 24 - 2:00 am

  I own the 1999.5 Pathfinder base model XE and its a great vehicle hands down. Just exceeded 217,000 miles and Ive never had a problem - ever. I do take care of it however. I change the oil and rotate the tires every 6k miles. I change the trans. fl. every 33k miles. I replace all seals, the water pump, the oil pump, timing chain, etc. (Nissans recommended maint.) every 100k miles. I have the brakes checked every 60k miles. The engine still runs like the day I bought it (Ive been the only owner). Interior has held up well- but pass. window is real slow. Exterior still looks good- never been garage kept and I hardly ever wash it. For the abuse Ive put it through, a great vehicle.

  great used SUV - 2000 Nissan Pathfinder
  By bradfinken - October 7 - 6:16 am

  Ive noticed with my 2000 Pathfinder LE that when cold, it wont shift into overdrive until engine is warm. A little frustrating when most of my driving is highway. Fuel economy is 15 city and 17 hwy. When pulling, I get 14-15 depending on how fast I go. The comfort is outstanding, not trucky at all. Feels like a dream to sit in. Heated seats will light your backside on fire.
