In most respects, the Pathfinder seems to be exactly what a new generationof sport-utility buyers is looking for. It has style and comfort in abundance, and combines them with the stance of a traditional go-anywhere vehicle. There are better choices for truly demanding off-road use, but the Pathfinder is a good choice for the vast majority of owners who will never use their vehicles for stump-jumping or cliff-crawling. Pricing qualifies as premium, nudging into the luxury range for the LE, but standard equipment levels are commensurately high, and, like all Nissans, the quality quotient is first rate.
