1997 Nissan Pathfinder Ti review from Australia and New Zealand
"For the right price a great car for on and off road trips"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil pressure switch, auto transmission started making some strange sounds when in P or N yet to be looked at by the dealer under an extended warranty agreement.
General comments?
Car is nice, good off road as well as on however we did find this varied depending on tires. Original tires where HT, and we opted to put Pirrelli Scorpion AT on it. The road noise improvement was remarkable.
On a downside, cabin room for rear passengers (if their adults) is not comfortable. Fuel consumption is shocking, with approx 450km city driving (that's when the orange light comes on anyway).
Lots of engine noise close to 3000rpm and above.
