Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Pathfinder?
Power.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Pathfinder?
Bad radiator oil cooler for the transmission caused transmission failure.

Thousands $ to repair.

Should be a recall of radiators or no cost repair by dealer of radiator and transmission.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
Use caution on any used Pathfinders, especially '05 or '06.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Pathfinder?
We bought a 2006 used LE. It is just wonderful. The ride and the handling is just great. It is the most solid feeling vehicle I have driven. And the power and smoothness of the engine is just over the top.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Pathfinder?
It wobbles from side to side a little, mostly on the freeway.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
Best SUV I have ever driven.

I don't own one for the moment, but looking to buy one but kinda doubtful. The only thing I'm concerned about is the vibration of the steering wheel (exceeding 60 miles on highway). Dealer has no idea how to resolve this issue.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
Power and torque is incredible compared to my 2001 Frontier. I hit the gas to overtake a semi and was traveling at 102 in no time at all, albeit completely on accident and by surprise. Solid truck. Comfortable on the long haul. Cloth is resilient to stains. Plastics, even when new, look worn. Rear suspension constantly feels like it bottoms out on anything but a smooth road. Rolls when turning.

Nissan doesn't back up there warranty. I had a car accident and the air bags did not come out. Only to find out that the air bag sensor did not work.

I would buy another Pathfinder with the warranty.

More fit & finish in the interior. There is a lot of plastic! Would love to see some maxima options as well - heated steering wheel, power telescoping wheel, etc.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
This is my first SUV since a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. Aside from warped front rotors the day I drove it off the lot, no complaints.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
This is one of the best SUV's you will find.... it is as tough as a hummer and as luxurious as a range rover. it is an all in one package. if you decide to purchase a pathfinder you aren't making a bad decision.. it is as important as buying a house... it is as fun to drive as it is to tow... and rides like you are riding on clouds... you could be going 120 and feel like you are going 35.... be careful about the speeding tickets... this is a wonderful vehicle not just for you but fot the whole family....

2006 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
We like the Pathfinder, we own a vacation home in Michigans UP and driving in the deep snow, logging roads and hauling trailers is a breeze. We experienced a few issues, a recall, a bad tire pressure sensor and a window switch that needed replacement. Although the third row is tight, it comes in handy for toting kids around. Nice vehicle.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
This is my third Pathfinder and the best one yet. I'm very happy with the changes in design and the size was a needed change for me as my family keeps getting bigger! My wife even enjoys driving it, as it handles comfortably like a car. Look for me to get the next one when it comes out.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Pathfinder?
Style and design of the truck. Great interior. Top notch finish.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Pathfinder?
On road driving could be a little smoother. And more leg room for the back seats. And a 20' plasma tv wouldn't be a bad idea, JK.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
This is my first SUV. I love the ride and the power the v6 provides. Car feels heavy and well built. Love the third row option, its tight but what do you expect. Price was also an issue, and i think its the best bang for your buck as far as looks and performance. I also like the 6000 lbs tow capacity.
