Overview

The Nissan Pathfinder is a mid-size SUV suited for everything from a suburban lifestyle to off-road adventures. It provides rugged performance and styling in a comfortable package.

The Pathfinder adds a V-8 engine choice this year for the first time in its production history. Borrowed from its big brothers the Armada and Titan, the V-8 provides 310-hp for those that need more than the already capable 4.0-liter V-6 provides. Both engines are mated to a five-speed automatic. The Pathfinder seats seven and includes such safety features as active head restraints, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control and tire pressure monitoring.

For 2008, the Nissan Pathfinder also receives new exterior styling and interior refinement along with the new 5.6-liter V-8 engine.

The engine is powerful and responsive. The suspension provides a comfortable ride. The view of the road is excellent. The sound system is great. The cabin is quite and the instrumentation is great. I especially like the navigation system and the link to live traffic. All in all a most excellent vehicle.

The dashboard layout is very nice and well thought out. The center console is nice too. I really love the adjustable drivers seat. I hate electric seats, so the manual adjustments are perfect for me. I would buy another Pathfinder in a heartbeat.

This is my second Pathfinder, and so far it's been nothing but fun to drive. The nav and sound system is one of the best I've used. The music box feature takes a little to get use too. The build qualitity is there! Overall, very happy!!

It's a fun car to drive. Eerything about this vehicle is great. It is extremely responsive both in acceleration and manueverability. And it is a very comfortable road car. The only real drawback about this vehicle is that it requires premium gasoline. It's otherwise a solid car and I would buy another one. Oh yes, spend the extra money and get the sunroof. It will be even more fun to drive.

I have had my Pathfinder for a little more than 2 weeks. Absolutley love it. The engine is a monster, just plain fun to drive! Gas mileage is what's expected. The engine! The center console computer, backup camera, storage capacity, overall just very user friendly. I am more than satisfied with my purchase, and hope to have this car for years to come.
