    It has a navigation and it gets to speed very fast and it is a VERY NICE CAR!

  • Perfect Vehicle - 2004 Nissan Murano

    This car is amazing! It has everything you need. I just took it to the snow and it handled beautifully. And its the 2WD model. It has a great ride and it is very powerful when passing others on the highway. Ive also received many complements on the design. I highly recommend it. I payed $29,000 for the SL 2WD with Sunroof package, floor mats, and wind deflector.

  • Murano Wins me over - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Mostly a car guy and moving into this SUV seg took a good leap of faith for me. My needs are performance, handling, and decent gas mileage. The Murano meets all my pesky criteria and coming from my 02 Maxima it does even a better job at some things that the Max did poorly.

  • 2004 SL AWD - 2004 Nissan Murano

    Very comfortable cabin. Seats are very comfortable. Auto climate control is one of the best I have used. Dashboard has a couple of rattles, but no other quality issues have come up. Has great midrange power...accelerating from 40 to 60, etc. Off the line acceleration is fine, but average. This car has great ability to haul passengers and cargo. It is very versatile and just plain comfortable. I originally wanted a Dodge Magnum with the big motor. Although I still wish I had the big motor, this car does too many things "right" for me to look back now. I am very happy with my selection. Also looked at the Saturn VUE, but it is really not in the same league as the Murano.

  • Finally a car my husbands comfortable in - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    My husband is 64" and we have looked at tons of cars/suvs and the Murano is by far the best in providing height and comfort for the tall people of the world. We believe we got a great car for "US" its different in its look, fun to drive and has enough of the bells and whistles on it to keep us happy, though if I was buying a car for "Myself" I would have bought the 350z convertible!!! P.S. I just traded in a 3 year old convertible for the Murano, as my husband puts it, "Youre now a married woman". FINDING HIM WAS WORTH GIVING UP THE SPORTS CAR!!!!

  • I LOVE MY MURANO - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I have never been happier with a new car! The only down side to it is its low gas mileage. But Ill live with that! I LOVE IT!!!!!

  • ALTERNATOR - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The alternator on our Murano was replaced by the dealer. The car had 10000 miles. I dont think ours was the 1st car to have this trouble. Sounds like a design problem with the alternators on the Muranos. Pretty scarey on a new car in this day and age.

  • Great non-minivan, non-truck family car - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I bought this car because I needed something that was roomy enough for a family of 4 but powerful enough to handle my mountain+freeway commute. I love it! Much sportier drive than an SUV or minivan. I like the CVT - very smooth. I get about 18-19 mpg on 87 octane gas and Im a somewhat aggressive driver. Im baffled by people who claim to own the vehicle but complain about the looks of it... so why did you buy it? Personally, I love the looks of it. I also like the fact that Nissan didnt try to cram in a 3rd row. The whole vehicle is much roomier as a result. Mines fully loaded and even then, much less expensive than comparable Lexus, BMW, Volvo, or even VW.
