2001 Nissan Pathfinder SE review from North America
"Excellent quality and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
Excellent SUV. Now has class leading power (250hp) and merging onto freeways is no longer a scary issue (vs. earlier models). Power is immediate and you can easily do a "brake stand" (believe me, I left a nice smoke cloud at the intersection.... surprised the little Honda Civic that was trying to race me!).
Fuel consumption is good for an SUV but range is still fairly limited (18 mpg). The only other SUV that I think that can compete with the Pathfinder is the new Acura MDX (240hp).
