David, how noisy is the engine?

2nd row seats are ok, not made for very tall people, I am 5'10" and sit comfortably in second row. The backrest of the second row is also adjustable. The third row not very comfy but ok for small adults and children. Service is average price, not low but not high-it is a 4x4 so this is expected. Engine is a little noisy but again its a vehicle geared for off roading so this is expected-especially from such a powerful 4.0 liter. I have 20000KM and have had no problems and I drive mine hard a few times a week. Other than a couple squeaks from the suspension no other noticeable problems. The squeaks probably just need some oil-I like to drive through mud and water.

thanks guys, but what about the quality of the car? I read many reviews from different countries - some say the engine is making noises after like 1000km drive, others say the smart key isn't operating properly, and third say that when sitting in the back seats (2nd and 3rd rows) it is very uncomfortable. I know about offroad qualities, they are good.

What about the spare parts and service? Is it expensive?

I have 2007 edition Pathfinder. Yes,it is very nice, very power 4.0l engine. Petrol is very cheap here, so no headache driving this powerful 4x4. Any Pathfinder owner club in Doha?

I Love my pathfinder. I have a 2007 4.0 base model. The 4 liter has very good power. Good off road but haven't tried the dunes yet. Still it has plenty of power. Very good room front and back and ok room third row. I Love how easily both back rows fold down and back up. Also 2nd row can fold down in 3 sections so people can still sit there if you have long cargo. Fuel economy-fuel is cheap here so I don't pay much attention. A/C excellent even when ideling. What else? Good resale value!
