Pathfinder 2002 / 2003 Question - how is it?

If your 99.5 has the 3.5 liter engine, an '02 or '03 will be virtually identical to what you already have, just newer.

The 99.5 Pathfinder only had the 3.3 liter motor. The 3.5 was not available until the 2001 model year. It also needs Premium unleaded fuel!

I have a 99.5, and even though I wish it had more "kick", I now keep it parked and drive an Accord EX with 155K miles for my 100 mile commute.

I think the 2001 through 2004 are essentially identical (3.5L 240 hp auto or 250 hp stick). Last spring I bought a 2001 Pathfinder SE with 99,000 miles for half the price of a new one. But I figure it is good for many more miles. Its only problems have been minor, clock display winked out (works if you tap on it) and AC/heater controls sometimes do not light up at night. It is similar enough inside to my 95 Maxima that I have to remember that I am not driving a 4-door sports car.
