1988 Nissan Pathfinder XE review from North America
"It is the most durable vehicle I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has needed mainly minor odds and ends. The front differential went out due to operator ignorance. (My brother used four wheel drive in the rain. You are only supposed to engage four wheel drive when you have to.) The air conditioner no longer works, but it was aftermarket, so I can't blame Nissan.
General comments?
It has 170,000 miles and pretty much runs like it did when I test drove it 17 years ago. It doesn't burn any oil and still has the original clutch.
