Cons: Interior styling and materials, overly variable steering effort, minivan-like view forward, price
Summary: A few years back BMW introduced the X5, the first SUV with handling that could be likened to that of a sport sedan with a straight face. For 2003 Nissan has introduced the Al

Pros: CVT, styling, quietness, handling, BOSE audio, interior fit and finish, interior materials
Cons: Windshield washer nozzles too low, sunroof leaks a bit on high pressure washing
Summary: It all boils down to the CVT. I had an offer from Nissan to come and test drive the Murano for a gift certificate. I did and I bought it on the spot.
I liked very much the styling in and out but wasn't convinced by an automatic. I use to drive only ... read more

Summary: I've owned this Murano for two months now, and I've gotten over the initial excitement and have some sobering reflections on this vehicle.

Pros: Handling, Passenger Room, Driver Adjustability, Price
Cons: ? MPG, ? ability to change light bulbs on your own
Summary: POSITIVES
The primary strength of this vehicle is its handling ability. Much like the Lexus RX300, the Murano handles entirely like a car but with the added benefits of an SUV (i.e. AWD, height, cargo room). The ride is not too jarry (I'm sure it ... read more

Pros: Smooth Ride, Unique Styling, Features for Price
Cons: MPG only 18.5 hwy, no running lights

Pros: Beautiful vehicle that will turn heads!
UPDATE 1/12/05 - STILL beautiful and still gets compliments
Cons: Gas mileage not as high as reported - only 19 MPG
Summary: Before purchasing my new Murano, we test drove the Highlander and CR-V. While both of those had features that were nice and lower sticker prices, the Murano was by far my favorite. It is so stylish. There is nothing out there on the road like it. ... read more

Pros: Stunning good looks, great handling characteristics, great braking.
Cons: No ashtray?
Summary: The Murano caught my eye on TV way back in November. Then I got to sit in one at the Cleveland Auto show. I was totally dumbfounded---finally a vehicle that was ultra modern inside and out. I was so tired of seeing the concept vehicles at the show that ... read more

Pros: CVT, Styling, Power, Price, Gas Mileage, Smooth and Comfortable
Cons: Completely new model, CVT not yet proven in SUVs, No deals offered on popular model
Summary: Murano a Pleasant Surprise
Not long ago, Nissan was nearly bankrupt, 1.4 trillion Yen in debt, plagued with reliability problems, and not innovating in the least. With the arrival of Carlo Ghosn, the Japanese carmaker has made a ... read more
