  • Murano Vs Infiniti FX35 - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Im trying to decide whether to go with a loaded Murano SE AWD or the Infiniti FX35...many similarities. Anyone have any views?

  • Enjoying the Ride - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Since purchasing my Murano in February, I have been hit with the driving bug. I love to drive my car! The ride is smooth, there is little outside noise, and the seats are comfortable for long trips (4+ hours.) My rear passengers love the semi-reclining seats, but complain about the drink holder; it open with the slightest touch. Recently, the rear brakes began squeaking, and I was informed by my local Nissan dealership that Nissan Corp. was aware, and working on a fix, though my dealership said it was due to a weather change...? No matter, I am enjoying the ride, with one regret...I did not get the moonroof.

  • beautiful gas guzzler - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I have owned the Murano for 8 months and have discovered a few key things. As related to its size, this car does not get any where near the gas mileage it should. It does however pack a good bit of power. The ride is smooth but the driver seat has poor lumbar support and gives me back pain if driving an extended amount of time. The auto. handles very well and has room to store more than it appears. Still, with the price of gas I would recomend that Nissan rethink the fuel efficiency of their engines. You would think it would be possible to get performance and fuel economy wrapped up in one attractive package.

  • BEST SUV - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    STYLING IS EXCELLENT.(IT IS A REAL HEAD TURNER ANYWHERE YOU GO) RIDE IS SUPER .FUEL ECONOMY IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE THAT OWN THE LEXUS SUV SAY THAT THEY WISH THEY HAD KNOWN OF THE MURANO FIRST BEFORE BUYING.

  • As much Fun as the Porsche Cayene - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I love my car, I was looking at the Porsche cayene and then spotted the Murano, I love the style and the interior also it is pretty darned responsive. I bought the Murano and have not been disappointed! Not to mention it was about half the price of the Porsche!

  • From Mercedes ML to Murano - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I traded the ML in for the Murano. The Murano was as well equiped as the Mercedes. I traded the an ML 320 which I had wonderful service from, but the ride was rough. The Murano is very nice gives a better ride than the Mercedes, plus gives better gas mileage and has at least equal or better acceleration. This vehicle is stable in curves, smooth riding and gets plenty of attention. This is my first Nissan, but probably not the last.

  • Fine Auto - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    After owning Mercedes, Bmws, Porsches and many other makes over the last 30 years, I found the Murano the most car for the dollar Ive ever owned. My Honda was reliable, my Bmw had all the great gadgets and computers, my turbo Saab, Mercedes coupe and Jag XKE turned heads. The Murano has all three of the above traits rolled into one car

  • I Love My Murano - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    My car is wonderful. I would buy another if I was ready to trade. The only problem is the blind spot on both sides of the back.

  • Starting to roll - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    We bought out Murano SL about three weeks ago and have been more than pleased with our "Pewter Panther." Ride, handling, comfort are all aces. We were looking for touring machine that can go down the long road with performance and comfort and to the grocery nimbly and pratically. Weve found what we were long lookin for.
