"Reliable, Good-looking, All-Weather, All-Conditions, Loaded, Excellent Value"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had to replace the alternator about a week after I got it, but it was rebuilt before, so it had nothing to do with the reliability of the vehicle.

I have to replace the timing belt, which was supposed to be replaced at 105,000 (standard maintnence)

I am supposed to replace the exhaust manifold, but I won't. The dealer said it was necessary and I wouldn't pass the emissions test, but I did, fast pass. Make sure your car isn't cold when you get it tested. The crack is only minor and the dealer charges a flat fee of 600 to replace it, so going longer and bolts breaking won't make a difference in cost.

Very reliable!! I can always trust the car to start and get me where I am going!

General comments?

I am extremley pleased with this car.

It is reliable. This car will always start if you take care of it.

The exterior designing is rugged and appealing, it's a great guy's car.

The interior designing is satisfactory, nothing great, but still good. Windows seem a little high, but no big deal. I would appreciate a better placed cup holder. I have the XE and don't like the seats. The SE offers more padded seats, and I feel like there is no support, I plan to solve this with some seat covers.

I got the XE model with 4x4, power windows, locks, mirrors, the works, cruise control, A/C, alarm, everything, and its great. I absolutely love this car. The only thing that really bugs me is the gas mileage because I take short trips and have a lot of short, cold starts, so I get about 15 mpg. But when it comes down to it, the feeling of security I get when my car sticks to the road as if it were pavement, is worth the extra 5 dollars a week.

Great on snow. I live in Colorado and when the roads are iced and snowed over, I am the only one out of my friends that can drive because they all have Eclipses and 2WD.

Feel great, this is a great car in any weather, will get you going, won't break and you look good in it!

This guy obviously has a Pathfinder and loves it, as do most of us Pathfinder owners. You just can't beat these beasts. They take a licking and keep on ticking!!! My 95 has 123,000 miles and drives like it was new! Great review!!!

I have a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder XE and it has about 130000k miles on it. I've put about $5000 into it to make it very off road worthy. Just installed a 5sp 9clutch automatic transmission yesterday and my pathy runs strong!!!
