A backup camera would be a nice addition to future models. Rear visibility is less than impressive, however, especially when the headrests for the second- and third-row seats are elevated. Installed behind the leather-wrapped steering wheel, the driving position is commanding and front and side visibility are excellent. Heated front seats come as standard on the LE, as does tri-zone climate control, with a separate A/C module installed in the second-row center console. The interior is a combination of durable, ruggedized plastic for the dash and door panels, offset by unconvincing wood-toned plastic accents, and leather seats for the front two rows. The 2006 Nissan Pathfinder is more functional than luxurious, even in its top-of-the-range LE incarnation. With a base price of $35,550 and a $605 destination charge, our tester tallied up to $40,145. Our test model came with Nissan's rear-seat entertainment system ($1,600) and Sirius Satellite Radio prep ($350). Nissan's joystick-operated navigation system (a $1,800 option) may take some effort to operate, but it works very well when programmed: its text-to-voice capabilities are among the best we've seen for announcing street names and directions in a comprehensible way. Inside, the Pathfinder is comfortable and well appointed, although its leather seats are about the only thing that could be called luxurious. Rear passengers, however, will find the back seats a squeeze.

The 2006 Nissan Pathfinder is a solid performer that offers drivers and front passengers a plenitude of cabin comfort and technology without venturing in the realm of the luxurious.
