| Price of the Toyota Highlander: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | We were able to get a new Highlander for much less money than a Honda Pilot and still get all the features we desired (larger than a Rav4/CRV, >20 MPG city, leather, and full compliment of air bags/antilock/traction control) |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | I got it for a good price making it an easy decsision to purchase |
| Price of the Toyota Highlander: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Felt some options missing for $38K vehicle such as memory settings, more detailed tire monitoring |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | VW was offering a sizeable discount on the Routan, a similar Highlander was from 8 to 10K more |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | you pay for the reputation. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | More expensive then Pathfinder for same year and higher milage vehicles. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Because you had to purchase features you did not want, the vehicle was much more pricey than others with the same features. They charged a premium for basic features included with other makes of cars. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Over priced because was new model at time I was looking. Configured with unwanted trim and features vs competition. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD | I paid full MSRP. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Nissan Pathfinder
| Price of the Nissan Pathfinder: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 5.6L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range | Nissan had a great lease offer for V8 SE models and the payments were less than what the competition was offering. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range | The Pathy runs about 10% cheaper than the Toyota ForeRunner, which is an excellent vehicle, but comes at a premium price. I think the PF runs 99% of the Toyota longevity, and about 95% of the fit and finish. This makes it a better buy in my eye |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD | We where able to deal a $34,000 pathfinder down to $26,500. with 4.0% interest. GREAT DEAL! |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range | Was less than a 4Runner. |
| 2001 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD | Theres not another SUV in its price range that has the power, features, and quality that the Pathfinder offers. In my opinion is superior to the Toyota 4Runner in every possible way while being a little cheaper. |
| Price of the Nissan Pathfinder: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range | As it is an import SUV, you will pay more than comparable domestic SUVs. However, the reliability of the Pathfinder should more than make up for it. |

| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Trim and fit is well executed. Controls are well positioned for easy reach and intuitive use. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Fit and finish are first rate. Paint jobis exceptional. Leather seats are sturdy and should hold up under rough usage. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Will hold up over time; easy to keep clean and looking new |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD |

| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The "leather" or whatever it was on the seats seemed hard and uninviting. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
A lot of poor interior materials - headliner, hard plastics on dash, some key controls (door locks, mirror adjustment) unlit at night |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
looks cheap inside. |
What Our Members Are Saying about Nissan Pathfinder Materials and Workmanship

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Unlike many domestic vehicles, the Pathfinder *feels* solid. The steering wheel, interior controls, and doors/hatches on many other vehicles feel hollow and cheap -- with the Pathfinder they are heavy and durable, and will stand up to abuse. |
