1996 Nissan Pathfinder SE review from North America
"Nothing better than nissan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 71000 mile I had to change the struts, since the last owner used to drive it like it was a bus. the starter was replaced at 90000 miles, and periodically I have to change the "stop" lights.
General comments?
It is a great car, very reliable, but not that confortable for the passengers. If you are in the back and are taller than 5 9, then you will have a tough time enjoying your ride since the floor is higher than the front. GREAT IN SNOW!!! 4WD works like you are driving on a dry road. The only problem is the gas efficiency.
