2004 Nissan Pathfinder SUV LE Platinum 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
Almost Overlooked this SUV
 This SUV had flown under the radar with me. When 
my Explorer finally died, I sort of stumbled across 
the Pathfinder when a friend told me to check out 
the Xterra (!). I did my research (including Edmunds) 
and saw that the Pathfinder garnered consistently 
high ratings from both reviewers and consumers. 
All it took was one test drive for me to say "this is 
the one". It handles superbly, has a lot of power, 
and is very comfortable. It doesn't have the latest 
body styling, but I actually find it very attractive, 
especially in the Platinum Edition. This is a smaller 
midsize (why do they keep getting bigger?) that 
sure fits the bill
