  • LOVE my new Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I traded in a Sport Trac (my first SUV) for my fun Murano. The features are cool, with detail to the creature comforts. The car drives like a sports car, hugging the road, not feeling top heavy on turns. The continuosly variable transmission feels different at first, but becomes natural after driving it a few times. This car truly is a match between sporty and practicle. I highly recommend it!

  • My Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano

    I have owned this Murano now almost 1 year and I must say I have had trouble! the interior back door panels had to be stuffed with foam @ the dealer to prevent rattle noise. The car has had 1 recall (altenator) and now just today I had a breakdown defective transmission. I probably will not see my car for a week, but I guess that can be a good thing. What else can go wrong? I will be going back to Honda or Toyota maybe even American. When this car drives it is nice, I like to say it feels like riding on glass, and it is comfortable but I do not tolerate breakdowns. Good luck I hope my narrative helps.

  • SUV for short women - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I am only 5 feet tall, but this SUV with pedals that extend to the driver makes driving it safer (dont have to worry about being so close to the air bag)but comfortable too! With its lowered chasis I dont need a step or side board to "climb" into it. Yet, its eighteen inch wheels still sits you up above the road like most other SUVs. I like this car better than any other I have owned.

  • All weather performance - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The Murano is ideal vehicle where 4WD is only needed for trips in and out of higher elevations in winter. I have not noticed any drop in performance with the convertible transmission as the use is usually on slippery roads and slower speeds and less power requirements are the rule not the exception.

  • Best value for your$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Our murano with every extra included is the best ride for the buck. Great styling, handling and economical too. This is a long time keeper. My wife likes the adjustable pedals and personalized seat postions. I wish the back hatch was available with power opening. We would buy another.

  • Italian Style, German handling, Nissan?! - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Judging by the looks I assumed I coudnt afford this vehicle. When I saw one at the dealership I was amazed. There is nothing else with comparable amenities / performance / style in this class. My ideal vehicle is a VW Toureg w/ V10 diesel, but this is close for now and only lacks slightly in overall build quality and cost about 20K less!

  • So far so good - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Curb appeal makes this vehicle stand out. I have had a number of people comment on the styling when they first see it. This is a fun car to drive. Great handling and acceleration on the highway. Nice sound system as well. My only real complaint is the gas mileage is 16/20 mpg and not 20/24 as rated. The CVT also slows the acceleration on cold day.

  • Fun??? Yep!!! - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The Murano has more than enough performance for a vehicle in this class. Fuel economy vs performance is better than average and more than acceptable. Overall fit and finish is excellent. Front & side visibility is good. The SE rides a bit firm but it handles very well.Braking is excellent and the CVT is neat! The Murano test drive sold me.
