  • Murano Review - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    This vehicle is as fun to drive as it is great to look at. We are asked about it almost everyday from strangers in parking lots and even at stop lights. The handling, power, and comfort are all excellent as compared to others in the same catagory. We test drived almost all the others before deciding on the Murano, and 5 mo.s later, we are still very happy.

    I was looking for a sports car or a SUV. I found them both in the Murano. I is fast. The ride is great except on bumpy streets is really stiff. It is true dont open your back widows while driving by themselves the cabin presure is unbarable. I will call Nissan about this and hope they can fix it or will trade for the Infiniti FX 35.

    If youre looking for car-like ride, plenty of storage space, a well thought out interior, sports car handling and turn-your-head looks, the Murano is for you. Weve had more people stop and stare when we drive by than with any other car weve owned. They even walk up and ask to look inside. Its an SUV that handles like a sports car, rides like a sedan and looks like a million. Nissan has really done their homework on this one.

    We purchased our silver SL in January 03. The model had only been available since December 02. Weve never regretted a minute. Its got power, performance and comfort. Love the Bose sound system. Our hauling capacity is larger and has better access than our daughters 05 Lexus RX 330. My only complain is that the gas mileage is no where near what they originally claimed (22 city and 28 hwy). Our overall average has been 18 mpg.

    A dream car for anyone who is looking for the functionality of an SUV with the styling and comfort of a road cruising sedan. With the Murano you cant go wrong. We went from the Subaru Outback, a car in which we loved, to the Murano, which we couldnt be happier with.

  • Best SUV Ive ever owned - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I read reviews and eagerly awaited its arrival. Needless to say, I fell in love with it when I first saw/drove it so I bought one of the first ones in town. Other than shopping around for the best price, I have had no other regrets. Its the most car-like mid-size SUV IMO.

  • Not Bad at all - 2003 Nissan Murano

    the ride aint that smooth for the SL AWD but the road grip compensates for it. Interior material is good and the 18in wheels are awesome. The road and engine noise is noticeable.

  • Murano_best all wheel drive Ive owned - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The week I picked my Murano we had a big snow storm. When I pressed the all wheel drive switch and backed out of my parking space I met a huge 18" wall of snow left by the snow plow. I plowed right through it with ease. The SUV is as good as any 4 wheel drive Ive ever owned. I have been driving 4 wheel drives since 1969. I have owned aleast 9, 4 wheel drives from CJ Jeeps To Toyota 4runners

  • My Rano - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I love everything about this SUV with the exception of the following. The type of leather they used on the seats is very dry...its not soft or suptle, it is however durable, and great for kids. I also dont care for the drink holders in the front, nor do I care for the styling of the grill....The Infinity FX -35 & 45 are much better.
