Enjoyable car
Bought new in CT to retire to FL, seats 7, towing pkg, 4 wd. Hit byone car from side, rear ended by another and hit road debris at 70 mph. All repairs done by Nissan and still like new. Poor mpg around town but decent on cruise control. We keep our cars well past 100k (250k on WRX), so we will likely keep it for many years.

The 2016 Nissan Pathfinder sl beautiful car if you
This car is an excellent car it has everything you could want in a car. Now the price of this vehicle is ridiculously high considering the actual trade in value as soon as you purchase the vehicle is only between 9 and 11 thousand so if you don’t plan on keeping it until it dies I wouldn’t recommend it
