1995 Nissan Pathfinder SE review from North America
"Great SUV for a reasonable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only actual repair I have made besides the normal maintenance items such as brakes, tune up, oil changes, etc has been the replacement of an exhaust bracket.
General comments?
I generally don't take the vehicle off road, but I do drive it very hard. I am extremely pleased to date with the quality and reliability of this vehicle.
I feel that the 3.0 litre V6 engine is a little underpowered for this vehicle at times, but I would describe it as "bulletproof" based on the torture that I subject it to. Fortunately, the gearing is good, which helps to offset the lack of power of the engine.
