I Found a Path to the Nissan and Liked It

by jo.com Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10
Aug 28 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: dependable, comfortable, quiet and smooth ride
Cons: the gas mileage
The Bottom Line: If you aren't commuting this is a great SUV.

My daughter and son-in-law moved out of New York City and needed a car. Rob’s dad was getting a new car so he gave his 2002 Nissan Pathfinder to the “kids.” I recently spent 3 days as a passenger and I drove it just so I could review it rather than ...

The Epitome of SUV Perfection!

by Dhano923 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000
Oct 08 '02 - Updated Oct 12 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: looks great, fun to drive
Cons: gas mileage (to be expected though!)
The Bottom Line: The 2002 Pathfinder is a reliable, well built car with great standard features.

I've always wanted an SUV. Not for the status or yuppie factor, but because I always wanted a truck. Pickup trucks are not exactly practical, so when SUVs became popular, and more models became available, I decided to trade in my Honda Civic and upgrade...

The Pathfinder that Shouldn't Lose the Path in the First Place

by phunk
Apr 05 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Awesome V6 hp, nice interior, great styling.
Cons: Handles TOO much like a car.
The Bottom Line: If it wasn't for the body-roll I probably would have bought this one.

I just bought a 2001 Toyota 4-Runner. Before I signed the paperwork on it, I drove the 4-Runner to the nearest Nissan dealer and parked it right next to the P-finder. I also test drove them, one right after the other, on the exact same route. I went...

We have a Winner

by ravenbrow
Dec 15 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Power, handling, comfort, style and safety
Cons: Gas mileage and rear entry room
The Bottom Line: Beats out all other competitors where it counts. The best price for the performance and comfort you get.

I live in an area that get feets of snow and work never closes down. So when my 88 escort got totalled in an accident I decided to get an SUV.

The list:
I was considering Acura MDX, 03 4Runner, Highlander, RX300, GMC Envoy, and the...

Nissan has hit a homerun.

by jas456
Feb 26 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Powerful engine, Great handling, good crash test ratings, decent off-road
Cons: Limited slip rear differential hard to find. Wimpy highway tread tires come standard.
The Bottom Line: This vehicle perfectly suits my active lifestyle in the mountains of Colorado. Highly recommended.

First, let me tell you that I live in Durango, Colorado where it is essential for my vehicle to perform well in the snow and off-road. I am in the 10% of SUV owners that actually use the truck as a truck. A car will simply not do for me.

For...

Back for Seconds.

by DrDaveC
Aug 04 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Loads of power combined with a very civil ride and excellent sports car like handling.
Cons: Each incarnation is becoming more car like and EXPENSIVE thus less truck like.
The Bottom Line: Keep making them like this and I'll keep replacing one Pathfinder for another and another and another...

My first car (at least first car that I've owned on my own) was a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder XE 4x4 in a Manual transmission. Despite it's various faults (noisy ride, repeatedly warping right engine manifold, anemic power and truck-cow like handling) I grew...

Pros: Great looks inside and out, power, cargo room, good stereo
Cons: Small rear seat, gas mileage can slightly be better, some dash buttons can use lights

Almost Worth Getting Run Over, Just to Ride In It!

by willbradbury
Jun 03 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Blood sponges off of it easily.
Cons: They couldn't get out the smell from my punctured gall bladder, though.
The Bottom Line: Of all of the non-hit-and-run cars that ran me over, not driven by ex-high school teachers, this is the best!

NOTE: You know, some people have asked me through e-mail whether I really am the way I am in my reviews, dry-witty, somber, calculating. So I decided that I would plunk down and, in one big swoop, hammer out my customary two-and-a-half pages in exactly...

by tonytech
Mar 26 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Powerful engine, well designed, fully functional
Cons: Shallow rear seats and rear compartment makes noise
The Bottom Line: I recommend this to anyone who wants an SUV without any compromise in luxury.

The 2002 Nissan Pathfinder is absolutely an SUV you can buy with confidence. I will give you the low down on the car without all the technical specifications which you can simply get from Nissan's website. But if that is your thing then I recommend...

Pros: Powerful engine, smooth ride, sleek look, responsive
Cons: eats gas!
The Bottom Line: Great machine for the price, smooth ride (Maxima chassis), however, be prepared to stop at many gas stations on that long road trip. 4x4 option a must.

I bought my Pathfinder new in May 2002 and have had nothing but a great experience. Only problem I ...
