  • engine light - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    My engine lite was on constantly. Took to Nissan dealership. Seems it had something to do with broken support bracket drivers side. They wanted $1300 to fix. Called Nissen and they paid for the repair. Took sever conversations but finally go an OK.

  • Dont Believe Gas Mileage Ratings - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    When we purchased the our 2006 Nissan Murano, one of our major considerations was gas mileage. We were impressed with the manufacturers ratings of 19 city and 24 highway. Well, we have driven our Murano for 5000 miles, changed the oil at 3000 and the best mileage we have gotten on a trip (using cruise control whenever possible) was 17. Around town we are only getting 13-14! I took it back to the dealership today and they told me there is nothing wrong with it-that cars can vary, the ratings are just an estimate, and everyone doesnt get that mileage. I dont feel I drive excessively fast and dont do quick starts or stops, so I just dont understand. Dont trust the mileage Nissan claims!

    Im glad I came back for a second test drive. I didnt like the Murano when it first came out. Over time and all the positive reviews its had, I finally decided to check it out again. It has to be the best vehicle Nissan makes in my opinion. Its the perfect size and shows enough style to make a quiet statement. I bought the S model because the upper level ones are to pricey for what they are. I think all SUVs are fairly overpriced to be honest. This blows the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander away!

  • Innovative but some quality issues - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The Nissan Murano is a very innovative car - first to market in the crossover segment. I transitioned from the Frontier, so better gas mileage but could still be better. Best we have gotten is 20 mpg. The only negative is there are definitely issues with the gas tank design. Had lots of trouble with getting fuel in the vehicle. Dealership service was accomodating and replaced the tank, but when you pay this much of a vehicle these issues should not surface. Overall a fun car to drive with great room - Im 65" and have plenty of room. Missed emotions on the CVT ... robs car of power when you need it. Defintely check this car out.

  • Great SUV - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    My wife has always wanted a Murano, after driving it now I want one. I am a big person(65" 260 lbs) this is the first SUV that I can fit comfortably in. Also great in the snow. Would highly recommend.

  • Good SUV to have..only if..... - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I just bought the off lease vehicle and got at the decent price. Its SL AWD with touring edition. I have done lot of research and test drove few SUVs too and among all of them I liked Murano. Its fun to drive, great looking vehicle. I suggest anyone who is interested buying Murano, itll be a good deal if you buy used (like off lease etc.) because to be honest with all the options on new Murano the MSRP will be $40K and its not worth buying any Nissan at that price. So my advice is buy a decent milage car for half the price. Because, in the end you will hear few rattles and wind noise and stuff. But the bargain you get is worth the price. CVT is great, very smooth.

  • Suprised - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    First I got this for $26,800 w/o license and fees. Its a 2wd SL with only standard options. It is an easy vehicle to drive. Lots of standard features youd expect to pay for like back up camera and dual zone heating etc. It came with a 7" LCD screen too! I am very suprised about all the technical stuff you get standard. It is a very smooth ride compared to like a 4Runner which was my previous car. As you accelerate, the powerful V6 gets you going and then smoothly settles into a lower RPM I cant wait until this CVT gets into other models. Its quite phenominal. I am also getting over 20 mpg in this SUV. The rear seats fold down much easier than a 4Runner and way easier than my Benz ML320

  • Murano - 2006 Nissan Murano

    Ive had a good experience although I thought the materials used in the interior were of much better quality...

  • Nice car, ergonomic and electronic issue - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Cant update my other review. Need to add more here. First, I meant ergonOMic issues in the other review. Second: Beware the CD player. It crapped out and luckily I have a warranty or it would cost over $600 to get it replaced. These are apparently a notorious weak point in many Nissans. In fact, it appears to be so widespread that I think they owe customers a free replacement, but good luck with that.
