1996 Nissan Pathfinder XE from North America - Comments

"Great SUV in the summer, but scary in the winter unless you want it in 4x4 all the time!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brakes required replacement frequently.

Struts required replacement twice.

General comments?

This car has been nice to own, it drives quietly and is quite comfortable.

I find it difficult to drive in the winter unless it is in 4x4. It tends to slide around in the back.

Haven't had many repair problems other than struts and brakes.

The passenger seatbelt is awkward for most people to buckle up because it is located lower than the seat.

Lots of cargo space, great for road trips, shopping, camping etc.

The floor mats have worn out quickly and I have replaced them twice. The pathfinder logo has come unstiched on all the driver's side mats.

Heat not distributed evenly (passenger side is cooler than driver's side when heat is on).

After reading about the winter driving, I would recommend replacing the tires with a good brand. I also have a Pathfinder 4x4. It was not a good winter vehicle UNTIL I put a different brand of tires on, now its perfectly fine.
