2014 Nissan Pathfinder SUV SV 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
End of Year Bargain
 My original 2014 PathFinder SV was upgraded at the end of last year to a 2017 PathFinder SV (with heated seats, heated steering wheel, and remote start).  Leather seats were added as an after market option.  After 30,000 miles, I like the drive train even better on the 2017, and it now tows up to 6000 pounds.  The newer engine model plus transmission is smoother than the 2014 which makes for a great driving vehicle.  From an overall perspective I really like the vehicle.  Drives great, handles great, tows great, versatile and gets good mileage.  The only flaw I have run into on the car is the entertainment system.  It randomly malfunctions.  This includes reboots while driving, not loading radio station presets, refusal to sync blue tooth, and my favorite... leaving the rear view camera active while driving "forward" down the road (a safety hazard).  Even though these flaws have been demonstrated for the dealership where I purchased the vehicle, they have refused to repair/replace the entertainment system.  They instead want to blame it on my smart phone.  Not sure how my smart phone is causing reboots, or the backup camera to stay on when driving, but that is their response.  I only list this as a large part of car ownership is the quality of the service.  While I happily upgraded to this second 2017 Pathfinder, I am not sure I would purchase a third due to this strange issue and refusal on the part of the dealership to correct it.  Also, if the smart phone really is causing this strange issue then that would be speak to very poor system stability and security within the Pathfinder.  A properly synced smart phone should not crash the systems within a vehicle.I downgraded a number of my ratings based on these issues....We purchased our 2014 PathFinder SV on a very snowy presidents day.In the last few months we have logged almost 5,000 enjoyable, uneventful miles.This includes a road trip and numerous trips to sporting events hauling 4 kids, 2 adults, and 3 sets of hockey equipment.The ride is great, handling good, and acceleration smooth.So smooth that it is accelerating faster than you at first realize.Mileage has been very good, usually 22-23 in mixed driving (overdrive enabled, towing mode disabled for normal driving).I am looking forward to seeing how well it handles our boat.No shudders, or hick-ups, at all... Just enjoying the ride....50,000+ miles in..,,Still love the 2014... Bluetooth could be better, and hands free is clunky, but knowing that this has been updated in the newer model, would purchase the car again.  In fact we plan to buy the slightly upgraded version when this one wears out... Probably at 150,000+ miles.
