I test drove the Pathfinder today, gave it a good romp and still got 14mpg (per the OEM display). It should be on par with what I get in my current pickup.
Its basically a beefed up minivan.
The CVT transmission kept the RPM low and steady until I romped it, where after the typical automatic delay the RPM went to something like 3600 and remained steady. Acceleration was smooth and consistant (a bit wierd for the first time). The tires were at 47psi according to the telemetry, even so the ride was smooth without the harshness I have gotten used to at that tire pressure.
Being a larger SUV type vehicle it did wallow about a bit and took quite a few turns on the wheel to get it to manuver sharply. It did not have a lot of body roll and handled the hard manuvering better than my pickup. It did turn significantly better when I was into the gas.
