  nice car - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By indywoods - July 14 - 10:00 am

  i like this car. its fun to drive, very responsive, and has tons of room. negatives: I do not like the blind spot and I do wish the gas mileage was better. Its really a ingenious design and gets lots of looks. The stability is a big improvement over the Pathfinder.

  Its one of the best car I have ever driven. The car corners heartily and stays impressively flat through curves.

  8 months of fun and no problems yet - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By mjmarcinkus - June 20 - 2:00 am

  Ive had this vehicle for 8 months now (~7200 miles) and have experienced no problems. Fun to drive, the back seats are very roomy and the passengers love the recline option. Sound system is top notch (Bose), although the reception could be better (94 Taurus got better reception in the same areas) - probably a result of the stubby antenna. Nice acceleration, smooth ride. With half city/half highway, I have been averaging 18.6 mpg. I have the FWD (not AWD) and didnt notice any major difficulties navigating through the snowy Chicago streets the past winter. I hope this review helps anyone thinking of buying a Murano.

  Original owner - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Rudy - June 6 - 8:43 am

  Owned 7 years with 50k mi. Still looks good compared to newer cars. Only problems have been gas cap actuator, driver power window motor, garage door opener in rear view mirror and intermittent hesitation problem during stop/start. After dealer performed last recall to replace intake fasteners hesitation problem was cured. Glad it was not transmission. I believe someone posted that Nissan extended the CVT transmission warranty to 10yrs/100k mi. Overall it has gotten me from A to B without any problems but I would have not expected to have these little things break down with such low miles.

  Getting lots of attention - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Jeff Buice2 - May 20 - 10:00 am

  I now get lots of looks from people who apparently either like or dislike my new Murano. I personally like very much the styling and that is one main reason I purchased it.

  Nissan Murano Review - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By easydriver - April 25 - 2:00 am

  Ive driven nearly all of the vehicles in this class: Mercedes M Class, Acura MDX, Toyota Highlander, 4Runner, RX300. Pilot, Envoy, Trailblazer, Grand Cherokee, Rover, etc. and rate the Murano the best overall vehicle in this class regardless of cost. You owe it to yourself to drive this one if you are considering a civilized SUV that is beautiful, functional, gets great fuel mileage. Its a roomy as a Pilot, drives more like a car and sets a new standard for this class of vehicle.

  DRIVE IT & SEE - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By STEVE,E - April 19 - 2:00 am

  I HAVE READ REVIEWS FROM CAR OWNERS & SUV OWNERS & THEY WANT TO CHANGE THIS OR THAT. THEN BUY A CAR OR SUV! THIS IS A CROSSOVER VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS HIT THE MARK. PRICE A PROBLEM ? BUY SOMETHING ELSE. REGUARDLESS OF WHAT REVIEWERS SAY, THIS IS A KNOCKOFF OF THE INFINITY X35 FOR EIGHT GRAND LESS.

  Love Murano after 1 week - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Ben In Al - April 19 - 2:00 am

  I recently purchased the Murano for my wife and we love it. The drive is great and the interior is spacious. The ride is smooth. I looked seriously at the Lexus RX300, but they were changing the body style and trying to get rid of them. The Lexus did not have the controls on the sterring wheel. I liked the fact that Lexus has a longer warranty.

  Nissan Murano is best on the road - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Farkel - April 19 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Murano in January. Since then Ive found the vehicle absolutely fun to drive. Everyone who sees the car does a double take because of its exceptionally unique design. I took in on two 3 hour trips (about 500 miles each)and checked the gas mileage after each trip and also checked the city mieage. So far Im beating the estimated EPA mileage on the sticker. On trips Im getting 26 MPG highway (verus 24 from EPA) and in city driving Im doing 22 MPG (verus 20 EPA). Nissan has a winner with this vehicle.

  After sales service - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Chic - April 14 - 10:00 am

  Cmon Nissan I thought by now you could design window seals that dont squeak. You also need to offer a 4 year warranty and shake your dealerships into providing better service. You designed a great vehicle lets get the squeaks out and dont lose face by providing lowsy after sales service.
