I love my 2018 Pathfinder SL. Nissan is on their 3rd generation CVT starting with the 2017 Pathfinder. The CVT's reliability has improved. Even before only a small percentage of CVT's were failing. When Nissan sells a million vehicles with CVTs, even a 1% failure rate will flood the internet with all kinds of trash talk.
Purchased the 2019 Rock Creek SL 4WD with Premium Package. Traded in our 2015 Pathfinder SL which we really liked but had close to 90,000 miles on it. No problems with that vehicle at all. The 2019 version has alot more safety features vs. the 2015 model and we really like the Rock Creek look. The new model has a better ride, more power and they have improved the CVT. The seats are very comfortable for long trips with alot of cargo space (already drove it on a 1200 mile trip recently). The Pathfinder is bit dated when you look at the newer KIA/Hyundia models (also drove the Honda Pilot and Explorer) but we drove them all and felt the Pathfinder was the best value.
I’ve owned Nissan since 1986....have owned 7 pathfinders and I drive an xterra now. I have been blessed because I’ve never put a nickel in my vehicles Other then reg maint.
Love our Rock Creek edition. Ride is awesome, it’s very quiet with very good acceleration. CVT gets a bad rap but you don’t even notice it after a week or so. The VQ engine is a proven bulletproof motor. Also the Bose stereo is amazing!
@@jeffmorse645 / please do a little research. Both are 3 row crossovers. Both Nissan and Kia state each other as competitors. Both start at 31,500 and Top out at 47,500. The fact that you think that they are a different class is a testament of how great the Telluride is.
I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder I bought new 6 years ago. I absolutely love it, and I’ve been trying to find a worthy successor. The new pathfinder isn’t “new” enough for me to buy the same model. I’ve had my eye on the new Telluride, but there are never any in stock long enough to check em out.
I think it looks good. Not trendy but capable. Like a modern station wagon. I like the rocker panels on it as an accessory. Well priced all things considered like a qx60.
I honestly have to disagree with you on that. Nissan has Jatco CVTs in their vehicles, which are notorious for breaking down under 100k. Their values also depreciate significantly since you can buy a used Pathfinder of that generation for far less than they originally sold for. When people tell me they're impressed that their car went 80k miles trouble-free, I just shrug and say "it better go 80k trouble-free." I would want an SUV that would go 300k relatively trouble-free, so I'd probably choose the Explorer or Highlander, although I like the looks of the Explorer far more. That would be my #1 choice.
I took yesterday (Sep 19, 2019) Highlander 2019 for a test drive and it sucks! Piece of junk, barely moves and overpriced. On other hand, Pathfinder Platinum is a great car, very vivid and pleasure to drive. I really don't understand why u guys complaining about Pathfinder. Are u on Toyota or Ford payroll? BTW, CVT for Pathfinder was redesigned in 2018 models and the ride is smooth with great torque. Not to mention Explorer - more powerful than Highlander but Pathfinder is much better car.
My wife’s 2008 (bought new) had 170k miles on it when we traded it in. Front brakes replaced at 126k, rear U-joint replaced at 150k, 4 sets of tires, and three batteries were all it ever needed. The new Patfinder (station wagon disguised as SUV) is pure garbage. Their CVTs are pretty much guaranteed to fail, just look at any long-term reviews.
I'm currently renting a brand new 2020 Pathfinder SL 4x4 on a 2 week business trip. (Only had 5 miles on it when I picked it up from rental agency). The Pathfinder is comfortable, I'm averaging about 23.5 mpg mixed, but mainly highway driving as well. Seems to have a lot of features and I like the ride and seating position. My biggest complaint is the very outdated infotainment system that probably has not changed at all since 2013. No Carplay, No Android Auto, Navigation Maps that look like they came from 2010, and since its a rental, there is no way to add Pandora or other apps with the Nissan Connect...it should have already been part of the infotainment system like every other 2016+ car out there.
There is a third-party add-on from a Korean company that is actually authorized by Nissan of Korea that will provide Car Play/Android Auto capability. The module costs about $500 plus installation.
@@HALWG51 I have heard the recommended CVT fluid change interval is around 30,000 miles, with more frequent changes for "severe service" (towing, lots of miles in a short time).
Haha, EverymanDriver is a new car channel and Scotty is a used car channel. I’m sure in about 10 years that Pathfinder will end up in Scotty’s driveway and that CVT will be about ready to jump out of the car. Then we’ll have the full review.
The CVT in the Pathfinder is failure prone. Nissan uses some of the most prematurely failing CVTs in the industry. My 2012 Versa CVT started slipping at 38k miles and I drive like an old man and maintain my cars. It's common with the Altima, Rogue, Pathfinder, Sentra... So basically, Nissans.
@The Insufferable Tool sorry to hear. At least the warranty covered it. I personally like a well-behaved CVT. I don't know why people complain about droning unless they're hard on the throttle all the time. I'm not, so the Driving Experience is usually very smooth and quiet. I love the complete lack of annoying shift shock in stop-and-go City traffic.
@@jeffmorse645 the Mitsubishi jatco CVT transmissions, for whatever reason, have a much longer life span. I had a 2014 Mirage that I put 56000 Mi on without a problem. My mom has a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with 32000 miles and no issues either. Interestingly enough, both the Nissan Versa in the Mitsubishi Mirage use the same jatco CVT, but each brand tweaked the tuning to their own standards.
The pathfinder couldn’t even go on a dirt road without getting stuck. Nothing like old models or 4Runner. Nissan cars are dull and boring. Just like GM

We love our 15 Platinum. Currently has 60k on the clock and 0 issues.
Wow.. . I was just on Edmund's researching the Pathfinder.. A few minutes later, Dave's review is on my TH-cam recommended. 🤔👀😲
Their tracking software must be working well!
Pathfinder gets a bad rap. Got 100k on my 15, I've done rear brakes and tires. That's it.
The majority of people complaining about it haven't even driven it.

Awesome video!👍 Lots of our neighbors own one and they rave about em! As a passenger in them they were quiet and comfortable!

I wish they would bring back the Xterra.
After driving the Competition, I found the Telluride the best.
Its in a different class and price range.

This is great almost everyone I see in the neighborhood has this and my mom might get this

do you own one ?
I'd buy this if it had the 7 speed auto. Can't stand CVT's in heavy vehicles :(
I love this Path Finder with bottle green color that you have shown in your video! What are the Year and Trim of this particular Path Finder ?

I’d stay away from all Nissan. Their reliability and quality suck! I have a Murano with 110K miles that need a CVT replaced for $6K.
What do you expect? cost free car? a 110k miles is pretty high.
Probably beat the crap out of it and never had it services. Change the CVT fluid at 60,000.
All these people braking transmissions are just horrible drivers/owners.

Nissan CVT's are just horrible. They judder and slip. My Pathfinder just got a new CVT. Stay away.
Scotty says No to the title😂
That's a beautiful green color
Couldn't help but notice all the saguaro cacti in your video, were you filming in the Tucson area?

Yep Renault ruined Nissan they should use Toyota transmission better quality
I have two Mitsubishis with the Jatco CVT. One has 60K and the other 30K. No issues yet.

Did you call Nissan reliable 😂😂😂 since Renault took over they've been trash good luck to anybody that buys one but great content keep it coming!!
have you checked out how much it is to replace the timing belt ?? VVery expensive
Nissans don't use timing belts anymore. The VQ engines have chains, should last life of the engine.
4WD or AWD? There is a difference.
Did he say reliable 🤣
The 2012 pathfinder was the last reliable one
Looks nice.
The last reliable pathfinder was 2012
Anthony Molina R50 is better
I’m not a big fan of any Nissan. MOST of their models long in the tooth and all kinda seem to look the same.
do you like stats? because everyman driver just reads stats
Looks like a Subaru outback
No, it has a junk Jatco CVT. Keep shopping.
Nissan interior quality just screams out one word: CHEAP!!!!
I find the styling very boring
The pathfinder couldn’t even go on a dirt road without getting stuck. Nothing like old models or 4Runner. Nissan cars are dull and boring. Just like GM
Scott Anders I enjoy my R50. New gens aren’t up to par
