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 SL AWD - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By CK - September 12 - 12:03 am

  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 Joe and Donna - August 22 - 2:00 am

  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 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!!!!!

  Great non-minivan, non-truck family car - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By Silicon Valley owner - August 9 - 12:46 pm

  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.

  Love it - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By Hirt - August 1 - 6:23 pm

  This was my first brand new car and I love it. Smooth, comfortable ride. Looks great, handles well, big and versatile enough to haul plenty of gear but luxurious enough to look great while doing it. I actually get 22 mpg by doing mostly highway driving, but accelerating slower than I used to - its actually made me a better driver - the mpg declines sharply over 70 mph. This car has everything I was looking for. It handles like a nice car, rides high, smooth, comfortable interior, great extras. I cant say enough.

  AMAZING - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By astros4lrm - July 11 - 2:00 am

  Test drove this SUV back in May of 2003 and loved the feel and acceleration. Nissan has done an excellent job, you could call this a work of art with muscle!

  Lots of gizmo for the price - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By Furby - July 11 - 2:00 am

  Fun SUV to drive. Very stable around corners and excellent brakes. Comes with so many features that Im still reading the manual. Drive uphill everyday and the CVT is smooooth. Love the HID lights. Added an aftermarket reverse censor to help with backing up. The gas/brake pedals are adjustable. Wish the steering wheel can move forward too.

  Andis Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By Andree - July 6 - 10:00 am

  We had to special order it to get everything we wanted. We got everything possible except the GPS and the DVD player. It took 4 months to get it. Which was one of the negative things about it. Once I got it, it has been great. Very confortable with lots of leg room. Plenty of power. We live in an area with high mountains and have no problems on steep grades. I would like to get better fuel economy but it is better than my last SUV. Much more like a luxury car than the usual SUV. Easier to drive. The two things I dont like about it: The doors do not automatically lock and the fuel gauge doesnt have an audible warning when you are getting low.

  floats like a bee - 2004 Nissan Murano
  By murano - July 6 - 1:00 am

  i find that on long drives i am not so fatigued and tired it must be the height and very supported seats i liked the quietness of the engine hardly any vibration its a pleasure to drive than there is the gas pedal which i found it hard to accelerate smoothly it seems to jump out
