1997 Nissan Pathfinder SUV XE 4dr SUV 4WD
97' pathfinder
 I owned alot of cars and the mechanics on nissans are great.  In 128000 miles I just had been doing basic maintenance.  It is truly not as easy SUV to work on in comparison to GM and Fords, but I definitely have not had to work on the nissan nearly as much.  I noticed the little things are much better quality and this makes it last longer.  I am very particular about squeaks, noises, and handling perf.  My 97' nissan has a full frame and handles much like a car.  I can not stress that the components are what seperates the nissan from the others.  I always bought American for are economy but nissan is made in the USA now.  I am done spending my money on making Am. cars run to my satisfaction.
