 Just bought it after selling my 1996 Ford Bronco which I loved but at 11 mpg was beginning to feel the pinch.So thought a stickshift 2 wheel drive Pathfinder would do the same as I don't 4x4 ever really.I like the lite but sturdy feel and I just feel like I am saving gas as I coast everywhere in nuetral 1/2 the time and use the gas the other 1/2 it seems.Only issues have been general maintenance stuff I guess, as never had to deal with on the Bronco.I have already had to to the front struts, carrier bearing at center of driveshaft, right side exhaust manifold (cracked), charcoal cannister, trailing arm bushings to stop "pathfinder death wobble".If paid a shop $2,000 so did on own.
