2000 Nissan Pathfinder SE review from North America
"An excellent mid-size SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had with it is the tensioner pully is going out currently. It is supposed to be a relatively cheap fix.
Other than that, nothing.
General comments?
Superb reliability. It is an excellent SUV, but is not perfect.
It could use more power especially since I tow a 4200 pound camper with it. The newer ones supposedly fixed this with 250HP.
Gas mileage is not great 15 city, 19 highway. Absolutely terrible when towing my camper 10-12 MPG.
It was rather expensive when compared to other smaller SUV's when new.
It is very well built with no squeaks or rattles to speak of since new. The quality of it is also excellent.
Vehicle is excellent in snow, especially in 4WD Low.
