I love my pathfinder. It has been a very reliable car. It has had some electrical issues such as sensors and the clock consistently losing time. Had issues with door locks as well.

Great for work, moving/transporting or for families & trips.
The car has nice insulation and cooling, great sound quality. The car is sturdy and tough. Also, roomy and has nice placement of controls. Volume can be controlled on steering wheel. There's a backup camera, comfortable seats, decent storage. 2 glove boxes, pockets in every door. Pouches behind the front seats. There's a 3rd row with 2 seats. The entire back seats can be folded down flatly. The trunk is a hatch and also contains a hidden compartment in the floor and in the sides of the last row.

Like the plugs in hatch back area for phones, coolers and etc..
Love my pathfinder. Reliable with lots of space and compartments of storage. When it rains I like the comfort of the height.

The car is very reliable and very spacious. The car can travel long distance with no difficulty and can save a bit on gas.
My vehicle is pretty standard, i can depend on it being very reliable. The vehicle is an older model and i would like to upgrade to a newer model.
Morgan C

Use a lot of gas. And the upkeep can be costly.
I like the fact that my vehicle is dependable, and has plenty of space for my grandchild, friends, and carries small loads... I dislike that the gas mileage is not the best, and that it does not have a backup camera..

The pathfinder gives you the feeling of safety for you and your passengers.
I love the SUV. It is size makes me feel safe. I find that when I am physically looking behind me over my shoulder to change lanes it is difficult to see over the seat because of Its positioning that cannot be adjusted and I am only 5’4 so I have to depend on the mirrors more than I would like. I love that I have the rear view camera but I still like to look like I was taught in drivers ed. I love the pathfinder overall, just a few things I would change simply to fit a shorter driver.

My experiment with Nissan
It's a very smooth car I have this car for 10 years it's very durable and strong. I haven't had no major issues with the car. I would recommend Nissan to anyone if they are not sure if they want buy it or not. My car is an SUV my whole family fits in there perfectly it can fit up to 8 people and we are only 5 people on my family.

Great for family SUV. Perfect for outdoors, & where seasons change constantly.
We love our vehicle for where we live. It is incredible dependable in the winter and we love the 4wl & 4wh at the turn of a knob inside (while driving) feature. It is total seating is 7 but the back seats are really only suitable for very short and small people. We love that the seats all fold into the floor to create a flat internal truck bed for lots of hauling ability. The trunk with the seats up could be larger though. The biggest issue is fuel. We get about 17. 4 Mpg on average between se Ohio state routes and interstate (about half and half). It drops fast in the city or if we're on back roads for a while. This is perfect for a family of 5 or less who want a bigger SUV or the option to haul friends every once in a while too. And compared to some similar SUVs I have ridden in it drives pretty smooth. The seats are comfortable though I always have problems with any car's headrest and this is not exception. In the back I wish they popped up a little easier as the seats are short enough the head rest must be pulled up to safely ride.

The most important thing that people should know about my car is that it handles very well for being larger. It still moves at a good rate of speed as well. I think it is also important to know that the car has a lot of room for people and things.
I like the size of my vehicle. It has three rows of seating without feeling too big, but also has enough room to carry everything I would ever need. I also like the color.
Brian A

Great car! Reliable and strong.
Very reliable but have had multiple issues with the blower motor and blower resistor. I also have had an issue with the radiator which needs to be replaced. The engine is solid and have never had an issue with power, performance or leaking of any kind.

To tall, head room is tight getting in.
Great reliable 4 wheel drive vehicle only thing is to stiff shocks hits bumps and holes very hard. But drives on highway excellent. Good control in bad weather rain and snow, gas mileage is good on highway, better around town. Rear hatch is sometime difficult to open, feeling around for button to push.
Melissa F

It's a really dependable vehicle. I haven't had any issues with it.
I love the leather seats in the back up camera. I do wish that it had more than just the auxiliary input. Bluetooth would be really nice, but I realize that it's an older vehicle.

The Pathfinder is a very stable and solid vehicle and the mechanical components are trustworthy and effective.
My Pathfinder has been rock-solid for over 10 years now. I have never had a major issue with it and the maintenance has been very affordable. I love the older body style on the Pathfinder and it has been an excellent family vehicle. I've driven it all over the country on business and family vacations. I can't think of a single complaint other than it doesn't have all of the newer technology like bluetooth and such, since those didn't really exist when it came out.

2008 Nissan Pathfinder Review
I bought this car when it was 4 years old & it had around 47,000 miles. It has been very reliable. Other than maintenance, I've only had to fix a couple of things, and both were in the past year. The only thing I don't like about it, is the second row of seats has minimal space for car seats. I feel like the second row is tight on space just to get the third row. I think I'd rather have more space in the middle row that is used more frequently.

Hidden Gem: Long lasting sleek and powerful 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
The Nissan Pathfinder is very generous when it comes to space but it also remains stylish. The engine performance of this model is amazing. I have yet to come across an issue with this vehicle's engine after 200,000+ miles and 10+ years. It drives a lot faster and smoother than other vehicles of this size would. It feels comfortable for people of all different sizes to drive. There are no features that stick out to me other than the automatic power buttons to adjust the driver and passenger seats. The only issue I have really had with this vehicle are the tires. They seem to be really fickle when it comes to hitting a bump in the road. The tires do not absorb shock damage or pressure real well. I have found myself in multiple situations having to replace all four tires. Other than the tires, the car is extremely durable and is definitely a long term vehicle if maintenanced properly.
Maria P

Excellent comfort vehicle.
I bought this car to tow my travel trailer and I now drive it all of the time. It is comfortable, roomy and has many extras. I wish it had mirror defrost, but other than that, it is the perfect get around town vehicle. I love the back up camera and the DVD player.

Great family car for any adventure your family has in mind.
The car has a lot of space. It has taken us to many places and is very reliable. We've had the car for about nine years and although it just started to need some maintenance, it still work almost like new. The rear view mirror is a great help to see the behind while parking.

Nissan does not stand behind cars.
Transmission should have been recalled. It was faulty design and class action suit which we were never informed of. I like size, feel and design. But would not buy another Nissan because of the way they deceived public. The dealership lied to and I could have died.

2008 Nissan Pathfinder : Love the leather interior, the Bose stereo, the back up camera and the tinted windows in this vehicle
My 2008 Nissan Pathfinder is a great and reliable plus comfortable vehicle. I have had it since 2008 and have had no issues with it. I feel safe and sound in this vehicle , on long trips or in town. I would definitely buy again or upgrade to another newer Nissan.

Third row holds many and enough power for towing and good storage.
I love that we have a third row to transport many passengers. It can also tow 6400 pounds. I don't like that our tire pressure gauge light always comes on even when there is no actual problem.

Reliable! Great for smaller families (3-4) but tight for larger. Perfect for frequent back roads/rougher terrain, and outdoor type families.
This has been a very dependable vehicle. Great to have 4w high and low at the turn of a switch inside. This seats 8 but the back seats are higher and have less room than the rest of the car. Not very suitable for larger children or anyone over 5' 2" to ride for very long. We live that all the rear seats fold into the floor flat to haul larger loads (or even when camping and the tent fails < true story!). This helps make up for the fact that there is very little trunk space. Grocery shopping or traveling means the tear seats HAVE to be folded down. Other than some space issues, however, we love it and it's super reliable! Changes I would make: more rear room, headrests that are easier to get up/down (backs are low so these are a must for safety), we've had a few computer glitches but may be based on the age, better AC in the rear.

2008 Nissan Pathfinder with third row seating
I recently bought a used 2008 Nissan Pathfinder and it's absolutely wonderful. Performance and reliability are on point. I love the seats they have the raised edges and hold you into the seat which is very comforting. Bose stereo system is great, dash and steering wheel controls are easy to use and nice to have. The center console was ripped when I bought it but I was able to purchase replacement fabric for $18 and can install it myself (it's not terribly hard). Third row seating with the ability to collapse is great! Second row also collapses but does not tuck into the floor. Great size vehicle and comfortable to drive. Gas mileage is decent if you don't drive it like a race car.
Maria T
on December 18, 2019
Love that it seats 7 people
I love the car it has enough room for the kids and it really has not giving us any problems. We have taking it on long trips and it has been very reliable. Great on gas. The engine is big and you can get to anything under the hood. I have has the pathfinder since 2008 and it still in great condition. It seats 7 people and you can fold the seats down when you want to add other items in the car. You can put a rack on top of the pathfinder when going to vacation. There is A/C in the back and front of the car. There is a cup holder in the front and the back great for kids when they are eating back there.
Kendall B

Molly C

Overall great if you can afford maintenance and gas
We just got 100,000 miles and have kept up on maintenance but haven't had any real problems just basic stuff. Ours is a V8 so it's really fast which is cool but it's a gas guzzler. Takes like 60 plus dollars to fill the tank and it will s**k it down! Besides that runs great very smooth, I love the height not too low not too high. Nice leather seats with warmers and we have plenty of room for kids or camping or whatever :)

Review on 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
I absolutely love this vehicle. I have the highest package in this model if I'm not mistaken. To start with it has pretty good gas mileage for a sport utility vehicle. On average in town I get about 18-20 mpg. Durable inside and out. I personally love this model better than the 2013 and up. Spacious trunk with third row seating that can be put away or set up for 2 more passengers. Heated front seats are always nice for cold mornings. My package includes DVD entertainment, 6 disc cd changer and backup camera as well. Mine is closing in on 90,000 miles and runs like a champ.
Melissa F

The Pathfinder is reliable, safe and the perfect size for a family.
I love the leather seats and the fact that it is a dependable vehicle. It really hasn't given me any problems in the last four years that I've had it. I wish it had bluetooth capability for music, but I'm sure the newer models probably have that
Erica L

It is a very dependable vehicle.
3 row capable, great legroom, spacious. Great vehicle for large families. Great for travel but when 3rd row is up small trunk space. Love that it is not a bully vehicle even though it is a SUV. Great mileage and really great on gas. Great style and smooth drive.

2008 pathfinder review-great for family
My car has had its better days, but I have really enjoyed it. It's probably my favorite car that I've ever had. I've had an older model pathfinder too. But around 2008 they made it more of a comfort vehicle than an off-road vehicle. I've never taken this car off road so I cannot speak to that. But for a family car (2 kids and a dog) it's been great!

When you put the car in reverse there is a camera that shows behind your vehicle
As of right now my car is acting up a little. I will be driving down the road at about 40 MPH and it will start shaking pretty badly on the passenger side and I am starting to believe that it is a motor problem. It was my dad's car so it has sentimental value to me. It does ride smooth before the motor problem but that's because it needs a new motor not because of unreliability. It is normally a reliable vehicle and the seats are pretty comfy. My favorite features of the car would have to be the reverse camera that shows up as well as being able to put in 6 different CDs at one time. There is also an AUX cord input so you can plug in your phone for music. You can change the setting of the seat for lower back support which is nice for people with back problems like myself. It's a nice family car that can seat up to 8 people and is pretty roomy.

The 2008 Nissan pathfinder is a good, quality car.
No problems, the performance and reliability is quite good. The comfort is great. The pathfinder does not have many features. This does not take away from it is quality though. It is overall a really good car. Comfort, performance, reliability, etc, all really good.

A 6 cylinder engine with a lot of power.
All of the power ports have blown and need to be fixed, either the fuses need to be replaced or the ports themselves need replacing. The performance and it's reliability have been good with the exception of normal wear and tear on vehicles. It rides comfortable for me and has the necessary basic features that are needed in a car to perform its daily operation of it.

100,000 miles and still running strong!
The pathfinder has held its value and has served well for me and my family. There are a few issues with the dashboard lights but that seems to be the only issues with the car. My pathfinder has close to 100,000 miles and still runs very well. I feel safe having every member of my family behind the wheel of this car, it has been reliable in the years we've had it and I would recommend it.

That it is mostly reliable but all of them have mechanical issues at a certain mileage.
I like the vehicle but there were some serious issues with it's transmission. These were covered under warranty, but it is hard to have such serious mechanical issues.
Jennifer S
on April 13, 2019
This vehicle has a larger engine than some pick up trucks, making it great for towing. Due to the large v8 engine it does use a lot of gas.
I love the winter package and luxury upgrades. Some upgrades my vehicle has are the leather heated seats, heated steering wheel and dual temperature control. One of my favorite options is the adjustable foot pedals because I am shorter in height. I also love that I can use 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, or all wheel drive.

It's not a 4x4. It doesn't have a tow hitch, and it's hard to change spark plugs by yourself. It's good on gas, great vehicle other than what I previously said. It's roomy. Sits 5, cargo space is good. It has a sunroof. Treks uphill at a good speed. Good overall ride
Sebastian C
on March 1, 2019
The most useful car and the largest car.
This car is very nice to drive around in and the large size makes so that when you drive around you do not really feel so large and a lot of size can be very helpful even in the hardest of things when you break down it can be useful because there is a tire in the back of the car.
Billie S

It can haul a lot of people and items if you work. Overhaul I like the truck but it's a lot of maintenance too keep it up

Why pick and drive a pathfinder.
I love this vehicle. It was my moms and she gave it to me when I needed it. I also learned to drive in it and thought it was great! I now drive it in a college town and it is great for all my friends and for my sorority. The third row is great, I love being able to put it down if need be. The only problem I have ever had is that the camera in the back will sometimes go out.
Colleen P
on January 21, 2019
The car looks great, and has been very reliable for my family.
I love the Nissan Pathfinder. I got it after owning a 1998 Ford Explorer, and I was looking for an SUV with a 3rd row. I found it difficult to find an SUV with large enough windows to limit the blind spots. The Pathfinder does just that.
Donna Y
on January 16, 2019
It is 10 years old and has 112k miles.
I like how roomy the back is when you put down the seats, there is plenty of room to haul things from home depot. I also like that there is a climate control unit in the back of the car for when my boxer is traveling with us on trips. The backseat is roomy and comfortable if you have passengers. You also have the flexibility of folding up a third row of seats when you have a lot passengers or are hauling kids around to their activities.
Katie H

Powerful package in a not so big car. Great for a small family.

19 miles per gallon is costly especially when gas is so expensive now.
I like the size to transport my dogs. I dislike the miles per gallon that a larger vehicle comes with. It is also durable and reliable.
