1999 Nissan Pathfinder LE review from North America
"A smooth, attractive, expensive gas guzzler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shocks, Struts, breaks all wear out fairly quickly (about 100 000km in my case). Car has trouble starting in winter, fuel pump broke loose.
General comments?
The Pathfinder is a fairly popular car among Canadians, however, it is not to my liking.
The car is fairly comfortable, and it has a lot of room with the seats folded. The interior is quite nice looking and driver-friendly. It is also an attractive vehicle.
However, the performance just sucks!!!
Acceleration is very bad, the maintenance costs are through the roof and my biggest dislike is the fuel economy. insurance costs are also high for this type of vehicle.
So, if you need ride quality, comfort, and cargo room, consider the pathfinder. Bur don't expect much more out of this car.
