2012 nissan pathfinder silver edition reviews




















Just repeated emails about coming in. Good-Did call back and informed me vehicle was sold. They would continue to look for items in that price range and would call me later. Had a Wonderful Experience Friendly Atmosphere and answered all my questions I had about the vehicle I'm interested in. Sam was very friendly and helpful. Good place to buy a viechle. I'll be back when I need something else. Service with Angela was amazing from start to finish. From her initial contact to get things started, to picking me up from the airport.

All I can say is amazing!!! Great service. Went above and beyond to ensure our vehicle was in best condition and we were satisfied with purchase. Curteous and knowledgeable. Great overall experience! Accurate information and rapid response time. Overall helpful and easy to work with. But, I DID like that we were able to shop without the sales persons breathing over our shoulders!

Rude on phone, refused to give name. Owner lied and said it wasn't him? Save your time, avoid these clowns. The entry-level Pathfinder S sports inch alloy wheels, with the SV and Silver Edition variations each toting inch alloy wheels.

Both LE editions, finally, flaunt inch alloy wheels, while all trims again boast all-season tires. Bumps and imperfections are handled better in most competitors, according to reviewers, and most reviewers note that as tire size increases in moving up the Pathfinder lineup, ride capabilities deteriorate exponentially. Handling also becomes a bit of a challenge in the larger SUV category, and the Pathfinder offers little joy here, either.

Reviewers note some hefty body roll and noseplow in even moderate cornering, though a few mention that steering remains tolerably precise and responsive. And again, a ponderous turning radius challenges tight parking lots. Finally, brakes in this venerable SUV remain powerful and true, with no pedal anomalies, according to reviewers. In testing, a Pathfinder LE V8 came to a stop from 60 mph in feet, which is pretty much average for its class. Remote power door locks, power windows and power-adjustable outside mirrors again come standard on this base trim, as do cruise control and tilt-wheel steering.

Of course, air conditioning, as well as a single-CD player with 6 speakers, also remains standard in this entry-level trim. The cabin and steering wheel come adorned with leather and simulated alloy accents, with a universal remote garage door opener, steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and a rear-view camera also added.

Tri-zone climate control further enhances this classy ute, as does a 6-CD changer with an auxiliary MP3 input. The higher-midlevel Silver Edition deletes the fold-flat front passenger seat, but throws in such standard extras as leather upholstery, heated power-adjustable front seats, remote keyless entry and ignition, and heated outside mirrors.

Bose premium audio with 10 speakers, including a pair of subwoofers, a 6-CD changer and satellite radio, not to mention Bluetooth hands-free communications, also comes with this high-end version. The LE, as the flagship of the V6-endowed Pathfinder fleet, adds simulated wood cabin trim accents, a power moonroof, a heated steering wheel, driver memory settings and, for , a standard voice-activated, hard-drive-based navigation suite with real-time traffic.

Meanwhile, its up-powered LE V8 sibling deletes the moonroof but, of course, revels in its peppy V8 powerplant. Options for all trims include a vehicle impact sensor, wheel locks and an emergency road kit in the available Protection Package, while carpeted floor and cargo area mats are also optional in all trims.

The Silver Edition remains eligible for the power moonroof, and both the Silver Edition and the LE trims remain in the running for an optional rear-seat DVD entertainment system. Most reviewers find the Pathfinder to offer a pleasant enough interior, though many opine that the second and third rows of seating could be a wee bit more spacious. All reviewers additionally find the gauges to be easily readable, but most would like to see fewer buttons cluttering the center stack.

Alas, a number of reviewers also find wind and road noise to be disconcertingly loud at highway speeds. The leather upholstery and simulated wood accents common to the higher trims, meanwhile, add immensely to cabin ambiance, according to most reviews, and seats remain long-haul comfy and supportive. With a somewhat larger than average profile and its durable truck-based chassis, the Pathfinder lineup assumes a rather imposing crashworthiness.

All trims nevertheless boast 4-wheel antilock brakes ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, as well as traction and stability control. Dual front side-mounted airbags, meantime, remain complemented by 3-row head airbags and front head restraint whiplash protection, with a remote antitheft alarm doing its best to provide a modicum of security. Though virtually all owners admit that gas mileage in the Pathfinder lineup is marginal, at best, most, especially those owners who drive the LE V8, are willing to sacrifice efficiency for brawn.

Many owners, however, complain about the cramped third row, not to mention the ponderous ride and handling capabilities displayed in this midsize ute, while others admit that its dated image needs some serious refurbishing. Finally, a number of owners have issues with inadequate illumination from the headlights, while others complain that rear door handles are located too high for kids to reach and that the leather upholstery in higher trims looks a bit forlorn after only a few months of use.

New By Year. Used By Year. Reviews Specs Photos Inventory. Likes Serious truck toughness Strong, torquey powertrains Good versatility for cargo Three rows of seating Impressive lux features on offer. Dislikes Choppy ride Skimpy, thinly padded seats Poor gas mileage Subpar interior materials LE has luxury-brand pricing.

Buying tip If you're considering the V-8 Pathfinder anyway, take a look at the larger Pathfinder Armada; considering deep discounts and incentives, you might be able to find an Armada for around the same price.
