  • Great Car/SUV/Wagon versatility - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Enjoy the fresh styling from Nissan. The car is comfortable and enjoyable to drive. The navigation system is excellent once you learn how to operate it.

  • What a car! - 2003 Nissan Murano

    If you like this car in pictures, you need to see it and drive it in person!!! THe pictures do it no justice. The ride is really very nice, the quality, while not a Lexus, better than I thought. The styling is, well I dont need to tell you. I have had mine for a few weeks now, and the gas mileage is very good for an SUV. I love it more and more every day!

    I have bought this car on a moments decision because I liked the styling when Ive first saw it on the street. Then I test drove it and I really enjoyed the transmission. I previously had only 5 spd manual cars and I never thought of buying an automatic. But this transmission is better even than a manual. I have now 2000km on it and loved every minute driving it.

    I was not a big fan of SUVs until I test drove the Murano. I still dont consider this an SUV because it feels to sporty and car-like. :) One of the biggest sellers, for the wife and I, was the rear passenger room, the 3.5L engine and the smoooooth CVT (trans). One word describes this vehicle: AWESOME!!!!

  • Murano Gotta Love It - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The Murano was the car I wanted. I am careful to call it a "car", because the SUV Car Crossover is a bit to difficult to refer to in casual conversation. The car is all I dreamed it would be, my family and I enjoy it immensely.

  • Like it but not keeping it.. - 2003 Nissan Murano

    Since the day I drove off the dealer lot I have had a constant problem with the windows making a snapping-like sound regardless if the windows are up or down. I took it back in about a week after I leased it, told the service shop about the problem with the window noise and they said they didnt hear it. I mention this all the time I take it in for its maintenance schedule and no one seems to be able to "duplicate" the noise. Other people have heard it when they ride with me but Im sorry, the Nissan service shops are either avoiding the problem or are deaf. I expected this SUV to be somewhat quality-built, but with the window problem Im not impressed with Nissan.

  • Love the vehicle - 2003 Nissan Murano

    I have loved this SUV. I have owned the Quest van previously and also had good experiences with these cars. My vehicle has 80000 miles and has recently had the transmission replaced. Also had the gas cap issue.

    Has been a very fun, useful, economical and reliable cross-over. I use it for long distance commuting in all weather in the NE and it has always dealt with all the conditions nature has thrown at it with total aplomb (I have the DVC which really does work). On weekends it does major household hauling duty for trash and shopping; then turns around and becomes a people and bag hauler for sports events for my children. A great and very versatile vehicle.

  • Great Vehicle; Fuel Economy Surprise - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I love this vehicle. It drives and handles very similarly to a sedan and gets me through the 12-18inches of snow that we occasionally get here. Plus it is very fast for its size. The stereo an six disc changer are very nice as well. Finally, the curb appeal is definitely there. My wife (who drives most of the time) was asked about the Murano every day for the first two weeks that we owned it. The only hitch is that I am getting 7-10 mpg less than the average that was advertised and 5- 8mpg less than the minimum stated in the drivers manual.

    The vehicle is amazing. The transmission has no gears (regardless Camiles review saying it changes gears smoothly)so it always picks the best ratio. Climbing a hill, passing, or cruising. These new 3.5 engines are the best ever built. All aluminum, 100,000 mile EVERYTHING except fluids. They use the 3.5 in all their vehicles now, and tune them accordingly. Thats why the 350Z has over 280HP. The Muranos engine can make the same power, they just detune it. Which means its running in a mild state of tune which means its not stressed which means it will run forever.
