1997 Nissan Pathfinder LE review from North America
"Very dependable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had an exhaust problem, muffler rusted through around 85,000, bought the extended warranty and it was taken care of asap. Excellent service.
That's it other than general maintenance.
General comments?
This has been a great vehicle! No real mechanical problems and has never missed a beat. The interior is starting to wear, but this vehicle is heavily used for my work and I am in and out of it a lot. Handles well, but is not the best thing to be in on the ice. Light in the rear and very quick to lose traction if icey.
