Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives Used Nissan Pathfinder?

Hi All!

I am in the market for a used SUV as my first vehicle, I am seriously considering a nisssan pathfinder from the early 90's.

Does anyone have any comments on this vehicle, good, or bad?

How is the gas milage?

Also, how does it compare to something like the chevy blazer, of the same age.

note: This suv will be used mainly for on-road driving, and will see very
little off-roading. Although where I live, it could be called upon to
drive through a foot of snow to get me to work!!

All comments are welcome. Thanks!!

I bought an '01 about a month ago, and like it a lot. Mileage in heavy-to-moderate DC traffic is probably in the mid-teens, as advertised.

My boss has owned three, and I believe he still has a '93. He's a believer.

My wife has a 91 she bought w/ 60K on it. It now has 160K. All we have had to do is replace a starter, beyond regular maintence. Last fillup she got 17mpg. She commutes 50 miles to work. 15-17 in the winter and 17-19 maybe 20 on a good day in the summer. When we replace it I have a feeling it will be w/ another. I would definately get it over a blazer in the same age. Especially in the same age. I think the toys and nissans hold up better in the long run.
