The pathfinder was an almost brand newey, fully loaded. I would rather have had my 02 T2 back :thumb2 was delighted to get the grand back :thumb2
If you do a search I posted my thoughts on it with a few examples and evidence. I know its each to their own and I didnt tow at all with it but as an all rounder it was poor.
It used a lot more fuel then the Jeep but that could have been down to the absolutely appalling autobox/engine match and the fact it was noticeably slower on the road.
We were 4 adults up first time I took it out and the back seat passengers voted a unanimous "crap" for comfort on the leather seats. The front seat passenger preferred her skoda seats !!!
Theres no doubt it is slightly more refined than the T2 but not a lot more.
I suspect its one of those cars where if you went to it after a T2 you would probably be happy because it is a more modern truck. But if you drove some shoguns/jeeps/discos of the same age ,engine size & gearbox (ie auto or manual) youd wonder why you even thought about it.
A nissan salesman told me that the feedback he'd had on them was that they attempted to effectively replace the troll & T2 but sort of slipped into a gap between the 2 and failed all round.
I was looking forwards to getting it, had the choice of disco, X5 or pathfinder. Couldnt wait to see the back of it :thumb2
Oh....................the reverse camera is superb
