Overview & Reviews
SE models now include a manual-shift mode for the CVT, and satellite radio pre-wiring is standard on all models. The standard driver seat now features 10-way power adjustment.
- Excellent handling, comfortable and practical interior, unique styling inside and out, smooth and powerful engine.
- Continuously variable transmission detracts from performance, SE model rides harshly, no third-row seat, gets pricey with options.

2004 Nissan Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Joyce - December 11 - 7:30 amSafety issues with this car. Towed twice for different problems. The transmission had to be replaced. Had to replace front wheel bearings. The alternator bracket broke and split the alternator cable (this one year after an alternator recall).

Had to have this car and Im glad I do! - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Rebeccahoo.com - September 17 - 11:43 pmI love this car - its not so massive as some of the larger SUVs, but its high enough to be able to have a good view of traffic and has enough inside room to transport lots of different items. The only drawback is the fuel economy. When I purchased the vehicle, I was getting about 19 or so m.p.g., however, ever since my alternator was replaced in the recall (I know, it isnt supposed to have anything to do with m.p.g.), my mileage has gone down to around 17 m.p.g. and my driving habits havent changed. I had my 15,000 mile service completed - no change!

Perfect, if you never have a flat tire - 2004 Nissan Murano
By annieengel - August 28 - 10:00 amNissan Murano has a different sized wheel well. At this time, most tire shops do not carry this size of tire. In addition, there are no studded snow tires available and the tire chains are special order. And there isnt a full size spare.

Burning oil after 96K - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Tina Delgado - July 30 - 12:46 pmAfter religious oil changes, my beloved Murano has begun to burn oil, 7qts per 3000 miles. Needs new engine, it seems. Very disappointed in the longevity of this car. Would not buy another.

Great SUV for the $$$$. - 2004 Nissan Murano
By FloGarb - July 21 - 2:00 amIt handles really well. Comfortable ride. Does not ride like a truck as my previous SUV.

We love our Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
By TxDet - July 21 - 2:00 amWe bought the base model, but would like to have been able to afford some of the bells and whistles in the SE package. The engine and its performance is a good trade off for 18.6 mpg in (in city) fuel economy. All in all, we are very satisfied with our Murano. With the Nissan dependability this car is sure to have a good trade in value when we decide to buy our next Nissan.

Great car, watch our for shortcomings - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Improver - February 5 - 10:00 amFirst thing I want to say is that this SUV handles better than a vehicle this large and high should. The interior space is good. This car is wider than most of the competition so that translates into passenger comfort. I am disappointed in the gas mileage department; in the city I am lucky to get over 14 mpg. On the highway I get about 19. The suspension is too stiff, a bad compromise between controlled ride and comfort. Good power. I loved the design of this car wind/road noise needs to improve, a softer suspension and the space between the front seats and console is a trap for dropped papers, coins and cell phones.

Watch the Navi System! - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Dirtdude - December 9 - 10:00 amOverall, I have really enjoyed this car, however, I have had the entire navigation system replaced not once, but twice, in 10 months. They cant tell me why it keeps going out, but said they cant find anything (a short) on the car itself to cause the problem. The car drives great, the sound system is great and I really like the transmission... no "jerking" as it changes gears. Gas mileage has been pretty good (compared to some reviews Ive seen) about 20-21.
