What Our Members Are Saying about the Personal Experiences of the Nissan Pathfinder

Nissan Pathfinder Personal Experiences: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT FWD
Over the past 20 years I have owned a Sentra, Maxima, Titan and Altima. The main reason I purchased the Pathfinder was because of my previous experience with Nissan. Their cars have been very reliable, with my Maxima having over 200,000 miles on it before it was traded in. full 2013 Nissan Pathfinder review
