Nice Looking, Lots of Problems - 2003 Nissan Murano
By Mikecnj - July 28 - 2:00 amNice looking car but has lots of issues. Had to replace altenator at 6,000 miles (a common problem). After getting locked-out numerous times, dealer replaced door harness. Open sunroof makes unbearble interior noise. Currently heat is not adequate and bringing it back to dealer. Goto NissanMurano.org for more info./complaints.

My First Japnese Vehicle - Wow! - 2003 Nissan Murano
By The Ride - July 9 - 2:00 amOut of curiosity I test drove the Murano SL and feel in love with it. A week later I drove one home and it rocks! Ive always owned Ford vehicles but wanted something new. Ive read other reviews complaining about engine noise or poor interior quality. They must be tripping or are talking about some other vehicle because thats not the case with the Murano! It compares to others that sell for $5K to $15K higher. Drive one and see for yourself how fun the Murano is.

Goodby annonymity - 2003 Nissan Murano
By Slicer - June 28 - 10:00 amI gave up my Lincoln LS which was a terrific car for the Murano.Driving over the Colorado mountains convinced me that I had made a good choice...it drives even better than the LS with the best transmission I have ever driven. What a pleasure to drive.

Polished Pewter - 2003 Nissan Murano
By TA McGuckin - June 22 - 10:00 amEntered dealership for service and struck up a conversation with one of the salesmen while waiting. Chatted about the Murano being a hybrid and went for a test drive and was sold. So,I traded in my 1996 Nissan Pathfinder for this amazing vehicle. Totally looking forward to taking the Murano out in inclement weather to see how it performs. Has so far handled exceptionally well in heavy rain and is amazingly comfortable to drive.

7 months in - 2003 Nissan Murano
By cubfool7 - June 22 - 10:00 amSupremely comfortable,one of very few vehicles where I can fully extend my very long legs. Very spacious. Leather seats offer great comfort. Amber gauges recall the magical glow of antique radio dials, while still high tech and futuristic. Engine is incredibly strong and smooth. Shiftless transmission is a pleasure. Mileage is great while commuting, but disappointing on long trips....like overdrive gearing was forgotten. Concerns...I hit a bump last week, and the alternator went out. Overall, the package rates as best vehicle I ever owned. Highlander rides better, but otherwise cant compare. Braking, handling and engine have to be tops in class.

More than expected - 2003 Nissan Murano
By Cruiser - June 22 - 10:00 amAfter driving my Murano through the mountains of Colorado during the summer, I was anxious to see how comfortable it would be on a long road trip. Driving through the mountains was fun as it held the curves with very little or no sway at high speeds. I took a 2600 mile round trip through Texas and was suprised at the comfort for all passengers and also at the good gas mileage.

GR8 Dive - 2003 Nissan Murano
By happymom - June 16 - 2:00 amAfter a 12 months and 12K miles, this SUV contiues to delight my family. Its been absolutely reliable. The ride is firm and sporty, high seating postion offers good sight line for easy manuvering on the freeway. Ample ground clearance takes the worry out of exploring that dirt lane or that rough pavement, yet step in height is easy. The seating and interior space are very comfortable, and the leg room in back is surprising. The Murano is bigger on the inside than it looks. The kids dont get cramped on long car rides and there is even room for the dogs in the back. Speed, handling, looks, creature comforts and carrying capacity, this SUV is very versatile.
