    Style and comfort. Rides smoothly, accelerates smoothly. Plenty of power and lots of room. Constantly amazed at the hauling capacity. Highly recommend.

    I test drove just about every thing available. Infiniti (loved it but 10K higher), Lexus 330, inderpowered and over priced, BMW, same. This is the best car for the price. Quality is high, excellent sound system. Great styling. People ask my about the car all the time. Definately drive this car if your looking in this market.

    Very flexible fun to drive, great handling, quiet. Not sure why editors think the ride is harsh. Its just tight, but not uncomfortable at all. Gas mileage on first tank hovering around 21mpg. Interior lighting is poorly designed; both dashlight britness too high and coutesy lights lack britness and footwell illumination.

    This car rides like a dream , I love everything about it. The only problem Ive had was with the bose system, my dealer replaced it, and the new one has the same problem. Talking to friends and clients, I find that they have the same problem.

  • Murano tops Lexus - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Weve owned our Murano now for 1 month and enjoy it every time one or both take it for a drive. The CVT is quiet, powerful, and it does not give you the usual sensation of acceleration. With dual air temp controls, my wife can keep her side warm while I can keep mine cool. I highly recommend the undercoat package and the rock guard clearcoat for the front of the vehicle. The Murano looks like the Lexus, except with better lines and the muffler does not stick out the back.

  • Why doesnt Nissan advertise this SUV - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    So far, best vehicle I have owned. I traded in my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and have been pleasantly surprised. My White SE AWD is the best looking vehicle on the road. I get complements every day. Yes the ride is FIRM, but livable. The BOSE is the best. Gas milage for the 2000 miles I have driven has been around 18 city, 21 hwy, and the transmission is smooth.

  • Great car, watch our for shortcomings - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    First thing I want to say is that this SUV handles better than a vehicle this large and high should. The interior space is good. This car is wider than most of the competition so that translates into passenger comfort. I am disappointed in the gas mileage department; in the city I am lucky to get over 14 mpg. On the highway I get about 19. The suspension is too stiff, a bad compromise between controlled ride and comfort. Good power. I loved the design of this car wind/road noise needs to improve, a softer suspension and the space between the front seats and console is a trap for dropped papers, coins and cell phones.

    We just purchased this "truck" for my wife and have absolutely no complaints. The Murano replaces a VW Jetta, so we love all of the space, but the Murano does not feel huge. It is larger than the small utes like the CRV that we looked into, but not as much as the Pilot or 4Runner. It fits us perfectly. The interior is awesome and the exterior gets looks from almost every passer-by. So far, we couldnt be happier.

  • I Love my Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I have had my Murano about 6 months. I love everything about it. It drives like a dream and has the creature comforts that I have become accustomed to. The acceleration and handling are wonderful and I can pile a ton of items in the trunk area. I really like the instrumenation layout and find it futuristic in design. It is somewhat novel looking but I enjoy being a little different. I really havent found anything I havent liked about it. I was originally looking at the Pathfinder, Highlander and Envoy and I test drove them all. After driving the Murano, I was sold.

    I rode 5,000 miles in the back seat this past summer and that was not a comfortable ride AT ALL! Other than that I have no "major" complaint - it is so much fun to drive - especially around town.
