2008 Nissan Pathfinder Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder appreciate its powerful engine, spacious cargo area, and reliability, making it an excellent choice for families. Many drivers enjoy the comfortable handling and luxurious feel, especially with four-wheel drive options. However, some reviewers point out that the fuel economy can be quite poor, and the third row seating is a bit cramped for adults. Overall, it's viewed as a solid investment for those needing a tough yet comfortable vehicle."
Great truck solid engine and frame. Drives like a car but handles everything that can be thrown at it. It has an attractive appearance. It cost very little to maintain bc it doesn't need a tune till 105,000 miles and uses a chain instead of a belt so that never gets done.
August 22, 2008Great acceleration, braking and handling. Excellent built quality. Appears to be tough, designed for the job. Own this car for 2 years and have no single issue with it. Car is very comfortable and fun to drive. Needs better interior.
May 23, 2011Powerful engine that will not quit. Hold my 235 lb dog with no problems. Drives like a luxury car but hauls like a truck.

June 24, 2008it looks good and nice to move big items around usaly use it for bussiness the performance is great the cost of ownersip was a reasonable price this car is very fun to drive with all the windows and sunroof open
September 6, 2009Likes-Handling and speed, excellent cargo area, 3rd row seating, instrumentation, Dislike-Feul economy, An excellent family car with 3rd row seating, an all round good but very poor fuel economy asa result of the massive 5.6 liter V8 engine. With this engine size you get a remarkable low 0-60 mph for those who care to appreciate the enormous power locked inside.And the price to pay for that is gas
June 22, 2013Excellent truck and SUV does work and can carry the family. 4WD is awesome very reliable and very low maintenance. 2005 to 2012 does not come with the CVVT transmission which has been causing problems for the new Nissan. The power for the 4.0 V6 is great but the 5.6V8 is a monster. Im buying another one with the V8 this time. Highly recommend it!
May 17, 2021I bought one of these brand new in 2007, and never had a single problem with it. On the fly four-wheel drive about the only thing I would compare to is a Toyota 4Runner.
November 14, 2023Vehicle will shift smooth when new, and on test drive, but module self adjusts itself to traffic pattern. If you drive in city traffic 35 to 45 mph you will develop the problem of rough overdrive automatic shifting, and will end up manually shifting to eliminate rough in and out shift of overdrive. Its a very annoying feature "with no cure according to tech. at Nissan" thats a quote. Other than that no faults have been found
February 24, 2008I love this model Pathfinder with the 4x4 V8, it got great and performance when driving.
October 11, 2020We enjoyed this car as long as we had two children. When we found out a third was on the way, we decided it was time to move up to something with a full third row seat. Other than that, we loved this car.
