2008 Nissan Pathfinder S 4X4

Pros

Nice power, great in snow

Purchased As New

I bought the 2008 S 4x4 and I think its a great SUV. The MPG actually isn't too bad considering the horsepower - I routinely average 18/19 MPG. There isn't a lot of options on this model but nonetheless, a good SUV for under $30k.

Pros

Power a-plenty, built tough, stocky apearance, great in snow

Cons

Could use more creature comforts, but S is basic model with lots of bells and whistles for the price

Fuel economy in this, as well as all SUV's, needs to change drasticaly. a V-6 SUV should be able to accomplish 20+ MPG city, and well above that highway. GM has the step-down engine that only uses 4 or 67 cylinders when needed. Nissan, Toyota and the others need to step it up too. But overall, an awesome SUV for the money, head and shoulders over the Explorer, Durango and Trailblazer....read morehide

Pros

Styling, Room, Off & On road handling, towing capacity, economy

Cons

None

I've owned my Nissan for the better part of year and love it. I see people on the site complaining about the gas mileage, but it really depends more on how you drive, than the vehicle. I average from 21 to 24 on the highway (much less around town). This vehicle has been very comfortable on long trips, holds a ton, and is the most capable SUV in it's class off road. The Pathfinder also has way better towing capcity compared with the Toyota 6 cylinder. My dealership is fatastic. I go to Nissan of Bourne on Cape Cod. They are the best. They gave me a great price, and have wonderful service....read morehide

Pros

Ride is smooth, power is strong...no problems in the Rocky Mountains, comfortable, looks awesome.

Cons

Standard gas mileage, got a smokin' deal!

Sold my 1997 Honda Odyssey and bought a 2008 (used) Nissan Pathfinder. My 3rd vehicle which I plan to keep for 10 years... No Regrets!!

Pros

Decent leg room and lots of power, good looks

Cons

poor fit and finish, driver & passenger window rattle or vibrate loudly

Gas mileage is lousy (about 18 miles per gallon) Service manager in London Ont didn't return calls I made. I had to call them repeatedly and this was after owning the car for less than a month.

Pros

Good fuel economy on the highway and around town.

Cons

Ride is smooth and I find comfort in the passenger seat for my bad back and spine. Brakes, fine.

Good looking. Great pickup. Easy four wheel drive. Gets us where we are traveling without problems.
