Alternative review of Nissan Pathfinder

Women love the idea of driving a 4x4. The elevated seating position gives them added security and a 'king-of-the-road' attitude. If you are looking for the perfect family 4x4 that acts like an off-roader but can deal with the everyday hustle and bustle, then look no further than the Nissan Pathfinder. It slots neatly into the comprehensive line-up of 4x4 vehicles currently being offered by Nissan. The range includes authentic off-roaders like the Terrano and the Patrol as well as plush crossover models like the Murano. The Pathfinder is positioned somewhere in between, forming a Sports utility vehicle double act with the smaller Nissan X-Trail and going up against large 4x4 rivals, the most notable of which being the Landrover Discovery.

Nissan's Pathfinder 4x4 has the ability to access remote locations with a family and their camping gear safely stowed inside, but it is also adept on the school run, on the motorway and in the supermarket car park- the places where real people are most likely to use it.

The Pathfinder is a comfortable cruiser, which takes to winding country roads with a level of composure not normally associated with 4x4 vehicles. In 2.5-litre diesel form, it goes from 0-60 in 11.7-seconds and can tow up to three tonnes. Even the entry-level Trek model features a third row of seatsso all models have the capacity to accommodate seven. Potential buyers will approve of the fact that none of the seats need to be removed for different load/passenger carrying options to be accessed. When you need that extra bit of space, the rearmost seats simply fold down flat with the release of one catch and the same can be done with the middle seats. This gives the Pathfinder a massive 2,091-litre capacity.

The Nissan Pathfinder is able to cope with any eventuality you may throw at it, making it one of the best family cars in the market. Its size makes it perfect for the school run and supermarket trips as well as the annual camping vacation. If you are in the market for a family car then look no further.
