Car reviews

Buyers who like their 4x4s big, powerful, well equipped and capable of seating seven should take a look at the Nissan Pathfinder. This Discovery-sized off-roader is the latest model to join Nissan's increasing 4x4 line-up, effectively replacing the five-door Terrano. It's a far more sophisticated machine than the Terrano and represents good value alongside the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Discovery. 2007 models come with extra off-road gadgets to help keep the Pathfinder safe and make it more capable in the rough stuff, while some cars for the 2008 model year have an integrated Bluetooth feature for hands-free phone calls.
