probably will be getting one of these in the very near future (2001-2003 model). From what I have read online, it looks to be a pretty solid buy but does anyone have any personal experience with these?

 

these are very nice...but they do tend to have pretty bad gas mileage.

 

I have one, its very solid and reliable
Just shit ass gas mielage as jentegra said

 

is it exceptionally bad or about on par with the other SUVs in its class? i know what the epa ratings are, but those don't seem to be on par with real life in many cases. also, any things i should look for when looking at them? Thanks a lot for any help you might be able to provide me!

 

anyone?

 

I had a 3.5L Pathfinder LE (Same engine/chassis). Solid car, again bad gas mileage. I getter much better mileage on my 1995 3.2 v6 Rodeo. I have no statistics, but it seemed like I'd drive it around on the weekend and it sip through the entire tank in two days - as opposed to 1/2 tank on the rodeo.

I'd buy another one again - just don't expect great MPG.
