So I was wondering with you Pathfinder owners does your significant other like your Pathy?

My wife has mixed feelings on my R51 sort of a love hate thing! She loves its capability esp transporting my son and his hockey player friends and gear. The 4x4 is great. It does not have a backup camera and she hates that. And she finds the handleing sort of cumbersome.

Frankly I'm real happy with it ... I would like a back up camera though.

For a big car, I like it. I liked to drive my parents '98 4-Runner more because of the seating position, but as a functional car, the Pathy is about as good as I can find.
There's a few things I'd like to have that the pilot I was looking at has in regards of cubbies, storage and creature comfort. But it's a much more solid car. Especially for the winters in my region.

When I had a date with my exwife the other month and she saw it first time she liked it a lot.
... she is younger and European.. so she is new to SUVs

My mother likes it because she can get in and out without too much trouble, it's roomy and has headspace for me (I'm just over 6ft). My son likes it but has complained about the shakiness.

Me too. I hate the shocks or the suspension system. I've talked to some folks about lowering, or improving the shocks. New girlfriend said the same comment, why does it feel like we're bouncing all over?

Partially because of how I drive, how the roads are around here, but also it feels like we're going to fly off the side of the road sometimes.
