2003 Nissan Pathfinder

Cons: Gas mileage

The Bottom Line: Solid, reliable, fun to drive and comfortable

Review: My wife and I were in the market for a SUV for about 6 months. We knew there were A LOT of them out there to choose from, but we did have a certain level of reliability, looks, cost and utility. We test drove 3 generations of Pathfinders, the Saturn Vue, ...

Pros: Reliability, off-road capability, handling, design, features

Cons: gas mileage

The Bottom Line: Other than gas mileage, this car is a great buy. It handles superbly in a wide range of conditions, including challenging off-road tracks, and comes with great comfort, reliability.

Review: I bought my Pathfinder (LE 4x4) one year ago, and I'm overall very happy with this car. When I was in the market, I was deciding between this Pathfinder, the Nissan X-Terra and the Toyota 4Runner. I finally went with the Pathfinder because it came at a ...

Pros: Great Engine, Handling, Smoothness of Ride, Reliability

Cons: Towing Capacity, Rear Head Room

Review: This is a terrific car. Great ride and performance. Slightly low towing capacity. I am 6'4" and I have plenty of head room and leg room and all my friends ride comfortably in the back except for those as tall as I am. A great car for ...

Pros: More powerful engine and redesigned interior.

Cons: Thight legroom for the rear seat position and low towing capacity.

The Bottom Line: Although I did not particularly like the low towing capacity, the 2003 Pathfinder is an excellent all around SUV.

Pros: Smooth ride, Lots of power, Plush

Cons: A little price, small glove box, not enough rear seat leg room.

The Bottom Line: Recommended buy if you have the extra money.

Review: The below review is from my 3 test drives over the course of a week. the attractive styling makes you look twice at the Pathfinder, and so does the sticker price. Listed as luxury SUV, price tag reflects that. The Pathfinder has very plush ...

Pros: An In Between from the Xterra to the Murano, but save for the Murano

Cons: Engine noise during acceleration, lack of leg room,Bumpy Ride

The Bottom Line: The Nissan Pathfinder needs a makeover like the Nissan Maxima received. It is far overpriced for what you are getting in return.

Review: Do you remember the older style Pathfinders? I recall that a friend of mine had one and it a ...

Pros: Get up and go, comfortable, quiet, consistent, deliberate

Cons: Poor radio, poor mileage, no LSD available, car frame, cost of repair, reliability problems

The Bottom Line: Initial quality is very good, but maintnenance problems on my vehicle are now overshadowing initial quality.

Review: That's right. As much as I love pathfinders, and this is my third one, I have to say that I'm somewhat disappointed. I'll get to that later. First, there are some fantastic things about the 2003 Pathfinder SE 4x4. Handling and Performance ...

Pros: engine will run forever

Cons: Poor dealership network, poor customer service. Exhaust system garbage, poor build quality in general.

The Bottom Line: Avoid this vehicle.

Review: This is my third Nissan in a row which tells you I'm loyal, however since buying the Pathfinder my thoughts have changed dramatically on Nissan. When buying I was stuck between the 4Runner and Pathfinder, however the new 4Runner model was just coming ...

Pros: power, handling, price

Cons: poor customer service, gas mileage (about 10 in city driving), brakes, climate control

The Bottom Line: The problems I had were relatively minor and if Nissan took care of them I would be relatively happy with the truck. But they don't and I am not.

Review: I bought the truck new, have about 8k miles on it now. The truck performs great in terms of power and handling, but i wish I brought something else. Nissan service and customer support suck. This is my third Nissan, and I should have known better. ...
