  Minor ergonimic problems, excellent car - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By mmagliaro - July 21 - 3:26 pm

  Bought this used with 26000 miles on it. Its quiet, comfortable, powerful. I get an honest 23 mpg with it (but I do mostly highway driving). In fact, its the nicest car I have ever owned. But its not without flaws. 1. This car is so short on storage! Not enough drawers, pouches, etc, to put "stuff" 2. Doors dont prop and hold open at enough convenient positions. Have to open the doors all the way most of the time to really be sure they stay open. 3. AM radio reception is poor. AM is still handy for news and such. This thing cant pull in most of the stations my old radio could. FM is fine. 4. Sliding armrest thing is silly.

  2006 Nissan Murano S - 2006 Nissan Murano

  I have been driving my Murano for approx 5 months. It drives and handles very well. I am 6 3" tall and have plenty of head and leg room. With the CVT transmission you dont feel any shifting. My wife likes the dual climate controls.

  Best value for ride, safety and comfort - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By Werty - April 18 - 11:00 pm

  Great car.. sharp styling, very roomy and a very comfortable ride. If your looking for comfort, style, passenger safety, and performance with decent fuel ecomony, look no further... the Murano will not dissapoint you. The Murano is everything you expect from an SUV, with the ride, feel and appointments found in luxury sedans. This vehicle replaced a Subaru and afforded the size and upscale amenities sadly lacking on the Subaru.

  The best after 50 years of driving cars - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By Laccaro - February 3 - 5:10 am

  Had a 1999 jeep grand cherokee that gas mileage was 17 to 18 all the time. I am hard to please. I have a 2004 turbo Porsche with 444 hp. I looked at the suvs. that are out there. Took me 9 months. The Nissan Murano was just the best. Period. I have been around cars and have flagged races for years all over the country and have owned MGS to Delornes. Edmunds says the cvt trany saps power. I dont think he has driver the transmission. Quality is out standing. Everything fits and it all works as they say it should. If you want a good suv try one of these. A test drive will sell you as it did me.

  Nissan has a few bugs. - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By saintro - January 19 - 7:12 am

  Overall the Murano is good vehicle. That being said it like many other cars, Im sure, is not without it faults. To date failures include: The passenger side sun visor flops down and refuses to stay up or forward. The side of the leather seat(the vinyl part) has split into an "X" for no apparent reason and the airbag light is flashing and is going to have to be replaced to the tune of $1000. The seat and visor is also a complaint in other Nissan model, that apparently is not an issue to Nissan.

  Very Pleased Overall -- CVT Not So Much - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By Gene - January 9 - 9:01 pm

  We like this car! Overall fine repair record; nice ride; great flexibility for load carrying. Just two complaints -- the CVT and the rooftop rack. Around 75,000 miles, the CVT started to show problems, specifically failure to upshift and revving up to 3K rpm or more at 20 or more MPH (unable to drive faster -- just revved faster). Of course, this was sporadic and never showed itself when taken to the dealership until the day when it finally appeared and I drove it over, revving mightily all the way. Nissan replaced the transmission under warranty. The CVT has always been functional but rather halting -- dont really care for it. The other complaint applies not only to the Murano (a humorous note -- the spellchecker highlights Murano as a misspelling and offers the alternatives "Moreno" and "Murine") but to many other SUVs of all brands. The rooftop luggage rack consists of two rails parallel to the long axis of the car, but does not have an essential transverse front rail. Stylish, but of absolutely no value when trying to prevent a load (a fresh-cut Christmas tree is a case in point) from sliding backward. You need to faster a load to a front rail to prevent it fro sliding backward. Style, but no substance. Overall, a fine vehicle and my third Nissan.
