2003 Nissan Pathfinder SE review from United Arab Emirates
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Little suspension problem - 400 USD at 120,000km, and another repair to be done now on amortizers.
CD player stopped working, and it is impossible to take it out without breaking the wooden panel.
One seat belt lock on the back doesn't work.
General comments?
I have been driving this car for 60k km now. No problems at all.
This car has been heavily used off-road in the desert, mountains, beach and so on. Extremely sturdy and reliable vehicle. Except for suspension (which had a hard beating from me when driving off-road), nothing was touched for last 50k km.
It does not have a soul or a fanciness of an European car (which I always owned before), but the reliability is amazing. Unfortunately, I have no other choice than to recommend it as excellent car with excellent reliability.
