Cons:
  • Cargo space behind second row a few cubes shy of some rivals, compromised rear visibility.

  • Great Car/Bad Service - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I love this car, I was one of the first people to buy the new Murano at my dealership when it came out. The only problem Ive had with it is the front cap is loose, and the dealer is having trouble fixing it. I love the comfort, we have done a lot of traveling, the car already has 28,000 miles on it, and not one complaint. Just wish I could get the service dept to do their job.

  • my second murano - 2009 Nissan Murano

    I like this car so much that I had to get another one,,, even after having a 04 model with transmission trouble and front wheel bearing trouble, I understood that that was just the new model problem. Even though my 04 was a good car, this one is even better,,,

  • Great Crossover w/All Wheel Drive - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Ive had 3 Maximas, an Altima, a 300ZX, a Datsun 240Z and a Sentra, so Im a true Nissan customer. I wanted an AWD Maxima but none offered yet and I wasn’t going to an Acura. I tried the LE and fell in love. 2,000 miles later, I’m still very happy. The driver’s door open button stopped working, but I’ll have that addressed on my first maintenance visit. I’m very happy with the vehicle and I get a lot of compliments on its looks.

  • I feel like a 16 yr old with 1st car! - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I bought this after looking at Audi Q7, Infiniti FX, Lexus. This has more bang for the buck and is just plain fun to drive. This interior is awesome, great leather. For those of you who are complaining that you cant listen to the radio unless the car is running - if you push the Start button twice without putting your foot on the brake, all your accessories will work. (this from a 60 year old grandmother). I love the heated seats - kept them on low on a 560 mile drive and my back felt great when I arrived. I make excuses to drive it! Gas mileage is right wt EPS est. so far (4000+miles).

  • Unexpected Pleasure - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Recently stepped away from my 2005 Nissan Pathfinder with great fear. My lease was up and needed to step into an SUV with good style and better gas mileage. My only logical choice was the Nissan Murano. My problem was that it is much smaller compared to the Pathfinder but boy was I surprised. I love this SUV. Great handling, impressive power, and head turning good looks. I chose the Black on Black colors by the way. My only wish is that the Murano was the size of an Acura MDX. Otherwise it is an excellent vehicle. Oh... bumping up the horsepower to match an Infiniti FX35 would not hurt either. Im sure car lovers would appreciate the extra power. I know I would.

  • Replacement for Lexus ES 350 - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Following back surgery, I needed to replace my beloved Lexus ES 350 and I finally decided on the 09 Murano. I was leaning towards the Lexus RX 350 but after spending some time with the Murano, I couldnt justify paying an extra $8k - $10k. This was my first Nissan and for a non-luxury brand, Ive been very impressed with the car. The build quality is great and the ride is very smooth. The interior is well crafted and very quiet. With the possible exception of the grill, the exterior styling is very handsome, as well. If youre in the market for a crossover/mid-sized SUV (luxury brand or otherwise), the Murano should be near the top of your list.

  • Love At First Sight! - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    My parents car recently died, so I gave them my 2008 RX350. The Murano was aesthetically pleasing externally (a head turner) and with the 2009 internal upgrades it was hard to find any disqualifying features (save the orange display). Check it out yourself!

  • A bit bouncy - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    After months of careful research and test driving other vehicles, I finally decided on the Murano. While the vehicle has so many great qualities, including a fantastic interior, comfortable seats, and great ergonomics, I wish I had taken a bit more of an extensive test drive in the vehicle I took home. While the vehicle isolates road "bumps" my particular example has this sort of undulating bouncy character to it which is especially noticeable on surface streets. It is smoothed out somewhat at speed on the freeway but is still noticeable. Anyway, it is a bit annoying to say the least and definitely is detracting from the excitement that should come with a new care. Take a long test drive!

  • 5k miles & lovin every minute!! - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Got my new Murano in April, and just rolled over 5,000 miles! First tank of gas yielded 18 mpg, and Im currently getting 24-25 mpg (half city/half hwy). Not overly conscious of my driving habits, so a little attention could possibly yield even better mpg. Just hit my thirties and was time to move on from my sports car- after a little separation anxiety have never looked back! =D I found the quickness & agility a pleasant surprise over older muranos, and the comfort/mileage/value beat out the Mazda CX-7 & Infiniti FX-35. Its rugged enough to get to construction sites for my job, roomy enough for our two dogs, stylish for a night on the town. Love everything about this car!

  • VERY NICE VEHICLE -OVERALL - 2009 Nissan Murano
    By -

    We bought this vehicle after looking at and driving many competing suvs. After 2 months and 4000 miles of assorted driving I find that I am overall satisfied with the Murano because it does what we bought it for, larger size, 2 rows of seats with plenty of room between them, ease of entry, and a fair load of features as we have it equipped. However, I find several small items on the Murano that I would like to be improved to make it great. Just my suggestions which I will list below. This SL has premium, technology, and leather packages.
