Just bought one yesterday... 2017 with 20k miles... basically a new car for half the price. Certified, bumper to bumper warranty for 12 months, Powertrain warranty 7yrs/100k miles...
BryB I like Nissan but the pathfinder is the least reliable suv in its segment,bought a explorer for long term reliability,but overall,I'll always love nissan,I wish you the best with your pathfinder,that's not a jab,honestly if she likes it,I hope it works out for you guys for a long time.
Thanks for a nice review. I agree that the infotainment system is dated but fail to understand the constant hate this vehicle gets online from everyone. We own a 2015 model and are quite happy with it. This refresh addresses the omissions in my model year vehicle like the kick-to-open lift gate, led headlamps, forward collision avoidance and radar cruise control. Guess haters are gonna hate but don't know how many have actually test driven this one against the competition.
me and the fam are in the market to get a suv we need an awd with tow pkg to tow jet skis .... im really on the fence with a pathfinder though dammmn , most bang for your buck also really nervouse about nissan ... help lol
The front end doesn't look bad, but those all red tail lights do & they're not even LED. Wtf? Looks like the 1st gen. Rogue in the back... The 2013-2016 model looked better IMO
Unfortunately the controls on the inside are identical to my 2012 Murano (read...out of date). Those controls date back even further than that. Prop rod for the hood, no struts, roof antenna, no shark fin, no dual exhaust. It's all old tech, and when I looked at one, all of those were a deal breaker for me.
I'm 83 and have had loads of Nissans because I love all their reliable safety features and 5 star crash figures. I love their CVT electronics that respond so fast and give you just the right acceleration every time. Great to drive and never ever had any problems whatsoever, and never met anyone who did. So where exactly do yo get your strange info from? Ford dealer maybe? I've had Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey that broke down all the time but were rarely registered as breakdowns and were logged as 'Recalls' or 'Mods' to massage their reliability figures. The 360 view is essential in my view but you don't even get a sat nav on the same year Odyssey or Sienna, never mind 4wd. You don't tell us what you did get to drive?
@@teknicol My strange info is from many consumer reviews from numerous car websites advising ppl to stay away from the Pathfinder due to the CVT issues. Yes, I'm sure there are owners of this generation of the vehicle that have had no trouble whatsoever just as you claim, but there are far too many complaints about reliability for me to consider this vehicle. I have a Hyundai Santa Fe V6, a very solid and reliable vehicle in my personal experience.
I Love Your Hate Ggggggg ... yes it's car but ,,,, 1. Problems with the transmission speed. 2. The car weight is heavy relative to the speed conveyor. 3. The rear air-conditioner openings are ineffective due to the size and location. 4. The back door has no handle.

@@KB-bh9hp nah Subaru is the most unreliable manufacturer along with Chrysler.
@@haroldbeauchamp3770 Subaru also has their issues, but I think the ascent is pretty solid.

I had this confusion where if my old 2016 Pathfinder was rear wheel drive or front wheel drive. I'm not sure though.
Its So funny how SOME of you complaint!!!!! about how old the design is! and when they redesign it you'll still complaint!.....................
love it great car
How is the transmisión in new modelos?
i have one believe its a sports car ....transmission good so far as they have beem improved after 2013-2014 modles
Looks good
me and the fam are in the market to get a suv we need an awd with tow pkg to tow jet skis .... im really on the fence with a pathfinder though dammmn , most bang for your buck also really nervouse about nissan ... help lol
You worked for Consumer Reports before?
What about 2019 pathfinder????
is the Pathfinder reliable? i hate unreliable cars
Yea
Awesome
STOP measuring cargo space in cubic feet!!!! give me dimensions.
the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder has dropped $12,000.00 in VALUE in 1 year according to Kelly Blue Book. One third of the value in 1 yr!!!!!!!!!
why would you sell new car in one year ...buy new burn up to 7 years then sell ...you wont loose money when selling
The front end doesn't look bad, but those all red tail lights do & they're not even LED. Wtf? Looks like the 1st gen. Rogue in the back... The 2013-2016 model looked better IMO
Just one rear (parking bulb each side) at the back??? wtf...meh

Why do they still have switch gear from ‘07?????? I.e climate control .. absurdity
If this didn't have all those CVT issues, I'd consider one.

This new exterior looks worse, imo. And that interior looks straight up OLD. I'd argue it looks worst in class
This is my rental car lol
Nissan Pathfinder is the worst vehicle in design and performance
I Love Your Hate

1. Problems with the transmission speed.
2. The car weight is heavy relative to the speed conveyor. 3. The rear air-conditioner openings are ineffective due to the size and location.
