More good than bad
I recently drove a rental 2019 Pathfinder SL approx 1000 on a 10 day AZ vacation. The driver’s seat was the most comfortable I’ve ever been in. Unlike others here, I thought it handled well and had plenty of acceleration when needed. VERY quiet cabin. My college age daughters found the back seat very spacious, as long as the front seaters didn’t slide their seats all the way back. I’m 6’ tall and didn’t come close to doing that. Granted, we didn’t need the AWD in AZ, but 22mpg overall is very good for a vehicle this size. Here’s the “bad”. An SUV should have undercarriage skid plates and more than 7” ground clearance. I’m sure the AWD system is fine, but, even on a slightly muddy road, you’d have to immediately get an underbody car wash after driving, due to all the nooks and crannies underneath. Also, the front-end bottom cladding doesn’t truly protect anything, and, on this vehicle, was frayed, probably from simply parking over concrete curbs it couldn’t quite get over. I’d still buy the vehicle for the “good”, and there are deals out there due to the low resale values (reliability issues reported previous years). I just would not take it off-road, though I think it would fare just fine for every day use in a northern U.S. winter.

Drove it 1k miles (3 days) as a rental
I rented this in the SL trim from a well known vehicle rental company. It had 10k miles on the odometer. I drove it 1k miles in 3 days and this was enough for me to decide if it's a decent midsize SUV. The bad: Tight legroom in the 2nd and 3rd row seats, bland exterior style, navigation was basic, the 6 cylinder is weak, handling was mushy. The good: Impressive fuel consumption, quality leather seating, plenty of cup holders. Personally, I would not purchase this vehicle.

Great Family Vehicle
My wife and I needed a new family vehicle that could tow a boat but get great gas mileage. This was definitely the vehicle for us. It has a great towing rating and can pull our pontoon but. For everyday city driving we are getting around 19-20 mpg. Obviously when we tow the boat the mileage drops. Overall a great family vehicle.
