    We own this Murano SE for a few months now and we just love it. The build quality is superb, the luxury appointments all one could ask for. The engine is powerful and responsive, the unique seamless transmission smooth as could be. Its a joy to drive. Even though this is my wifes car (so to speak) and my car is a BMW Z3, I thoroughly enjoy driving this wonderful car. I cant really judge the "reliability" because we havent owned it long enough, but based on the quality weve observed so far, we expect the best.

  • Love my MO - 2003 Nissan Murano

    I luv my Murano! Wife loves it, kids love it, neighbors love it, dogs love it etc... It is so smooth and quiet, the first couple of times I came up to a stop light/sign, I thought the engine had died (it hadnt). Ive had a couple of things that needed fixing (sunroof and the rear cup holder), but other than that, it has been great. Mileage is around 21mpg city/highway. CVT is a different from regular transmissions, but you get used to it. It is pretty cool going 70mph and see the rpms below 2000. I like the 6 CD changer. I got a blue SL AWD with cafe latte cloth interior.

    Only time will tell on this great car, however, all in all it has met our expectations! The gas mileage and emissions are not the greatest, but it is still the best SUV for the price out there. We drove A LOT of SUVs in this price range and were sold on Nissans reliability and service record. We know that this car is still in its initial life stage but wed purchase it again. It came down to the Mitsubishi Endeavor and the Murano and the Nissan dealer made all the difference.

  • Great with Reservations - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The auto locking mechanism has locked me out of the car 4 times with the engine running!!!!!! Sometimes when you leave the vehicle it locks immediately,sometimes in a little while and sometimes a long while or not at all with the keys out of the ignition. Taken to dealer and problem still exists. CVT is noticable in stop and go traffic, searches for proper location in slow moving traffic. Can the pre muffler below the front seats be repiped to fit in the tunnel for the rear shaft. This hangs to far down and is very visible and ugly when approaching the vehicle. The steering wheel mounted cruise controls SHOULD be illuminated for ease and safety.

    I bought my Murano roughly 2 months ago. So far Ive been very happy with my purchase. Performance for an SUV is outstanding. Ride quility is top notch. Over all design of the vehicle is great, they put a lot of thought into this SUV.

  • Great Ride - 2003 Nissan Murano

    A great vehicle to drive in the city and take camping

  • Impressive - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I test drove virtually every possible performance wagon, crossover, and suv on the market today. All of them had something going for them but the best compromise for the money was the Murano ( bar none). I knew when I test drove it that I had finally found a perfect blend of performance, comfort, practicality, mileage,safety, and affordability. Very nice ride, super comfy seats, nice styling, smooth powerful engine. Mileage has been ~20mpg during the break-in period in very cold weather.

  • Fun SUV - 2003 Nissan Murano

    I purchased the 03 Murano in 2005. I really was unsure about the look of it. But, what made it a sure thing was when my husband 64" was comfortable in it. We drive it everywhere.
