    Very good and comfortable crossover. Very good quality in finishes. Could improve in rear suspension.

  • Edmunds is wrong about the CVT - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Excellent total package, and the good thing is it doesnt look like all the other two-box SUVs. I dont know why Edmunds says the CVT saps power. This veh is very peppy; Car & Driver described the CVT as making the V-6 perform like a V-8 and I agree. Flawless fit & finish, everything works, handles well. In recent snows, AWD is seamless,ie, its there doing its intended thing without bringing attention to itself. No complaints at all.

    Id fall in love with the murano since april 03 at the new york auto show, finally bought it in july 04, I constantly compare this car with my 01 pathfinder LE and find nissan really had came a long way, sure foot of fwd, rear ventilated disc brake, limo like interior space, daul auto climate control, 18" wheel; green house feel for the front passengers(test drive the FX than you know what I mean), too bad I could only drive it on the weekend.(the wife always gets the new cars if you know what I mean)

    WAITED UNTIL AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AFTER INTRODUCTION BEFORE BUYING. RIDE IS STIFF AND TIRES TOO HARD AT RECOMMENDED PRESSURE OF 32PSI. EVEN AT 30PSI. IT IS TAKING TOO LONG FOR THE SUSPENSION TO GET SORT OF COMFORTABLE. THE CVT IS OK UNLESS YOU ARE A RACE DRIVER AT THE RED LIGHT. RESPONSIVE ENGINE. EXELLENT NIGHT VISION. I DO NOT NEED A SPORTS CAR NOW.

    A great vehicle for the price. Better than a Lexus RX, BMW and definately better than a Volvo. Rides well, handles great and plenty of power.

  • Performance SUV - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    With three growing boys and many weekend road trips, we really appreciate the roominess and power. They are all headed toward six feet tall and have no complaints. Also, the side curtain airbags give me peace of mind. My husband loves the horsepower, and sometimes leaves his BMW in the garage. The acceleration, even fully loaded and uphill, is very responsive and satisfying. I understand the average gas mileage (18.8) is good for an SUV. I chose the Murano over the Lexus because of the better gas mileage, better turning radius, sportier ride, and much lower price.

    This car has been a pleasure to own. It performs well around the city ,but it is esp. appreciated on the highway.Very stable at high speeds. The lift gate opens wide to an easily accessable flat interior compartment.

  • Eye Pleasing Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The Murano is a beautifully designed vehicle, inside and out. I get compliments on the design and color very often. After owning a Grand Cherokee with some disappointments, I am truly impressed with the Muranos handling, comfort and style. Im very happy I purchased the SE model and am equally happy I didnt get suckered for the expensive options. I got a great crossover vehicle for a great value.

  • Loving my Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Had a 97 Ford Explorer and loved having 4 wheel drive. Started researching out the SUVs, and found out my boss had just bought a Murano. 5 minutes in his told me I knew what vehicle I wanted. I went to the dealer, found the color I wanted and worked out the numbers. Drove it home 3 days later. Best purchase I have ever made.

  • Not your standard SUV - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I bought a black SEL at the end of September. I was turning in a leased Jeep Larado and there is no comparison. I wanted another SUV, I like being highter than most cars and I didnt want a vehicle that looked like a station wagon. I had no need for a third row seat and enjoy the roomy interior of my Murano. I havent notice any issues with the transmission and my son who lives to drive fast cars thought it handles very well. I wanted a navigation system and there wasnt a lot of choices in this price range.
