  Great SUV - 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  By scedarst - December 31 - 11:33 am

  Love this new SUV. The fold down rear seat is great. DVD/Audio system is wonderful, lots of bass with the built in sub and you can play dvds through the headphones or car speakers easily.

  I went to purchase a Toyota SUV and I stop by Nissan and I just love the look of the Pathfinder. The DVD and Navigation I love and so does my little daughter. It has so much style compared to the Toyota SUVs. I am happy I decided to purchase the Pathfinder LE.

  Nothing Better In Its Class - 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Won Over - December 26 - 7:13 pm

  The 2005 Nissan Pathfinder is really a great vehicle. I bought the fully loaded LE with DVD and NAV. In comparison to luxury brands, the value here is tremendous. I also have an 2003 BMW X5, which drives very well. In comparing both, the Pathfinder holds its own. It handles great in snow and off road. I would prefer a stiffer suspension though. The Honda Pilot has more room, but not the off road handling or the looks. The Toyota 4Runner wont offer the sunroof or Limited version if you want the third row. No American car compares well at all. This Pathfinder replaces my 1990 Maxima, which I bought in 1990 - it has over 220,000 miles and is still going strong, so I really endorse the Nissan engineering.

  This is my first vehicle I have purchased and Im glad I did. I have had nothing wrong with it. This has the best body style out of all the SUVs out there.

  Better than my BMW - 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  By littledude30542 - December 20 - 10:20 am

  I traded in my 2002 bmw 525 for this new pathfinder. I originally was looking at the murano but a brown one in the showroom caught my eye. there was 4 sets of people looking at it. I bought it an hour later. first of all it has a wonderful 270 hp engine which is very smooth . The nav and dvd entertaiment are very nice for long haul trips. cargo room is very spacious and third row fold flat into the floor.It has nice leather surfaces and my bmw didnt even have leather and i paid more. Ive only owned this car for an hour too! I used to have a 1994 maxima and i put 200,000 miles on it wothout a problem so I trust this car. I have also driven a 4runner and this is ten times better.

  Pathfinder Forever - 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Sam Dodge - October 6 - 11:40 pm

  I drove a 92 XE pathfinder(5 speed manual) for 13 years, time for a new car with 3 kids. I could not buy a Minivan(not my thing) so a SUV with 3 seats was it. I looked at them all- nothing came close to SE off-Road , it had the best 3rd row seat compared to toyota, volvo and american cars were out of the question. I miss my 92, but once a pathfinder owner I guess, always a pathfinder owner

  Can go anywhere - 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  By erox - September 6 - 3:40 am

  Within one week of owning the pathfinder we had a snow storm and it did exceptionally well in 10 inches of snow. Also, did great going up mud hills. It basically exceeded my every expectation of a nissan product. For fans of nissan, how could you not get one of these.

  WOW! - 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  By Lorena - August 15 - 5:23 pm

  I purchased this truck almost new with only 4,000 miles on it. I have yet to find something about it that I dont like. Ive used the 4wd and it was really great in handling and safety. If anyone is looking for a solid built, great looking and fun to drive SUV, look no further.
