Pros: What do you like about 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?
I've got 2010 Pathfinder LE - love the high-quality interior, GREAT sound system, well-designed Nav. I do like the cargo capacity and the looks.

The turning radius is not bad for the vehicle of this size, back cam is a superb addition.

The visibility is very good all around.

Seats are very comfortable, seat/driving wheel heating option works great.

Cons: How would you improve 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?
Currently, the fuel economy on the high-way is 40% (!!!) above the specs -
14.0 L/100km instead of 10.4 L/100km.

The truck feels heavy one the highway and not agile; however, it's got plenty of power when you rev it high.

The cargo floor is made of the fragile plastic plares. I think I have accidentally cracked one when I have leaned on it with my knee - will complain to Nissan about that tomorrow.

My week-old Pathfinder has constant high-pitched noise coming from the rear (not speed-dependent), will let Nissan figure it out tomorrow.

It replaces a 2002 Pathfinder. Somehow, the old one feels more agile and gives the same fuel economy , while the new one should be showing at least 1 mpg better.

2010 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
Overall, I would give it good ratings and hope the problems above will be addressed.

As an other choice I have considered a 2007-2008 BMW X5 but did not get it due to quality and chores to maintain. I see that fully loaded (options-wise) Pathfinder LE does not make the same splash as BMW X5.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?
Rugged exterior.
Quick engine performance.
Powerful torque.
Huge interior space.
Side curtain airbags.

Cons: How would you improve 2010 Nissan Pathfinder?
Exterior looks like a luxury car, but the interior feels like a truck. Nissan can definitely improve the interior appointments.

Fuel economy is not good at all, especially city driving.

2010 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
2010 Pathfinder is a powerful and quick performer. It is one of last remaining true sports utility vehicle. Too many wagons posing as sports utility vehicles are becoming mainstream, and these so-called crossovers do not have the necessary capabilities as sports utility vehicles.

While I do hope that Nissan keeps the rugged off-road capabilities of Pathfinder, I also wish that Nissan engineers could find a way to improve the fuel economy. City driving yield horrible gas mileage. I sometimes get an average of 10 miles per gallon in the city. Granted that I do tend to drive faster, but Nissan will have to improve the fuel economy. Otherwise the road will no longer have true sports utility vehicles anymore, but will be filled with these wagons raised up to look like sports utility vehicles.

Other than the fuel economy, I love my Pathfinder. It has good engine power and torque, so the whole vehicle moves nimbly through the city jungle or outdoor forests.

2010 Nissan Pathfinder Review:
This is the only good choice remaining for a truck-based suv buyer. We take it camping, and Pathfinder is perfect.
