Pros:
  • Responsive powertrain, sporty handling and smooth ride, luxurious cabin in LE trim.
Cons:
  • Cargo space behind second row a few cubes shy of some rivals, compromised rear visibility.

  • Stylish looks and good ride - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I have just had it for four days. The ride is good. Vehicle is stylish and has 18" wheels. Yet to determine MPG. Got it at $27K with premium pkg and other minuscule options. Wish there were more storage space in the front cabin. I like it and is worthy enough if you can bargain much. A major drawback is the blindspot. The window at the rear is a little too small and the rear seats obscure some view at the corner. Youll have to solely depend on the outside rear view mirror. Other than this and a little space, the auto is very good.

  • 6 months and still loving it! - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    This is my first Nissan and my first SUV. I have been reading every review I could find and test driving all makes and models before I chose this one. It took me a year before I decided. I am still so happy every time I walk up to my SUV. It is so easy to drive. One of the best decisions that I have made.

  • Nice Vehicle for the price - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    We decided to get rid of our 2002 Chev. Trailblazer for something smaller and more economical. As we currently own a 2008 Altima, we decided to try the Murano out for a test drive and we were sold.

  • So far so good - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Purchased 3 wks ago. No problems at all. None of the transmission or vibration issues others have complained about. Very smooth acceleration. Excellent fit and finish. Had leather installed, due to excessive price for useless featurs. Visibility not the best. Wish it had bluetooth with basic model. Hope to have this vehicle for a long time.

  • My disappointments - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Problems with leaking head gaskets, leaking transfer case (twice repaired), defective engine mounts and seat positioning number setting that never holds seem to be common with Murano 2009 owners and we are no exception. At 70,000 miles the car is showing all the signs of a Lemon. Up until now we were strong supporters of the Nissan line, but when the manufacturer does not stand behind a chronic problem I think its time to look at other manufacturers for better warranties and better quality

  • Top of the Class Crossover - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Spent several months reseraching every other CUV/SUV on the market and the 2009 Murano continually popped up near the top of every criteria list. I quickly uncovered that this vehicle should not be compared to the Mazda CX- 7, Ford Edge, Toyota Highlander, etc., but rather the Lexus RX, Acura RDX/MDX, BMW X3/X5, etc. For the money, the performance, amenities, and overall driving experience that Nissan offers in the Murano cannot be beat in its class. I went with the LE because it offers everything, I would highly recommend the navigation option (no regrets). After a month of ownership and 2000 miles, I am still impressed by the ride quality and everything that this vehicle offers.

  • Awesome car! - 2009 Nissan Murano

    Love my Murano! Had a Rogue, better gas mileage but rougher ride. Have 3 friends who bought one on my recommendation.

  • Cant Believe It!! - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I drove Nissans (Datsuns) in the 1970s then quit - until this year. Totaled my Saturn Aura and got a Murano for short term rental. It is now a long term ownership proposition. This car has it all in looks, handling, ride, quality, and performance. VALUE!! That was the reason I bought the Saturn, but the Murano defines the word (please see dictionary). Had to wait 2 months to get my tinted bronze metallic (the color they use in all the sales ads on TV and print media) but well worth it. Most buyers are looking to drive off the lot and I feel exclusive in my color choice having yet to see another. Marital discord has thus arisen as my wife wants this car BAD!! Love @ 1st drive guaranteed!!

  • I will not sell my Murano - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I am owning 2009 Murano for two months and I could not be happier with it. Well, I could - if it would consume a bit less but one should not expect too much (like those having back and leg problems who probably would not be satisfied in a private jet). After all it is an SUV/crossover and San Francisco is not nice to fuel economy. This is very comfortable car and to be honest I would rather be sitting in plushy seat of my Murano and cruise around than write this review. Lots of throttle response, classy interior and distinctive looks made my choice of a family car.

  • Excellent SUV - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    This Murano is quite possibly the best overall vehicle Ive ever had. The back-up camera is phenomenal; the keyless starter is really nice - I dont carry keys anymore. I cant believe the gas mileage - typically always around 22-23 MPG whether I use regular or premium gas. The ride is comfortable but sporty. The leather seats are firm and very comfortable. Additions like the electronic telescopic wheel just add to the overall enjoyment. You must try this one out.
