1997 Nissan Pathfinder SE review from North America
"Solid performer with style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing mechanically has gone wrong with this vehicle. However, the moonroof sunshade has fallen off it's track as a result of the metal clips snagging and breaking. Am trying to locate a used one since the dealer would really love to charge me over $400 to repair!! Come on, It's a piece of cardboard with some felt on it!!
General comments?
This is one great vehicle. Feels very solid for it's mileage. Like the exterior and interior design. Does not look dated.
Very nice sound system.
Very comfortable on long trips. Like the heated leather seats.
Fairly decent pick-up, but very poor gas mileage. Most SUV's are not, so whatcha gonna do.
Great value for what I paid.
