  • Murano is the real deal - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Nissan has hit a homerun with the Murano on the first pitch! This car is great on long trips. Gets terrific gas milage for a vehicle this size and turns heads everywhere I go. It has evey imaginable creature comfort but is not for whimps. Step on the gas and it really goes. If this car is as reliable over the long haul as it has been thus far, my instincts about buying this car in the first production year will have been proved right. Why cant American car makers design and build cars like this instead of all of the "so what" cars that come off of their assembly lines today.

    This is my second Nissan product, the first being a 1991 4D Pathfinder. I kept the Pathfinder until 1998 without doing so much as changing the brakes, tires & battery once...and of course the scheduled oil changes. This vehicle reminds me of why I like Nissan....everything about this vehicle is 1st class....from the design...to the ride...it is worth every penny.

  • TWO THUMBS UP ! - 2003 Nissan Murano

    Three words: JOB WELL DONE. This is an amazing SUV and fits me and my wifes lifestyles to a "T". Test drove new Maxima and liked it but the Murano had more to offer especially with the AWD system. There is no better car in its class as far as perfomance, appearance, quality (i.e. ride and Craftsmanship), saftey and comfort is concerned. Trailblazer and Escape cannot hold a candle next to it. First mid-size SUV design Ive seen that does not sacrifice back seat room for larger cargo space and vice versa. Nissan utilized the space well. Ive noticed that people always take a second look. Cant wait until its broken in to really test it.

  • MY MURONO TURNS HEADS - 2003 Nissan Murano

    THIS IS A VERY COMFORTABLE, SOLID RIDING SPORTS CAR THAT LOOKS LIKE AN SUV! THE NEW TRANSMISSION (CVT) IS THE BIG KEY TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS RIDE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO ADJUST TO INSTANT POWER, NO WAITING FOR PASSING GEAR TO COME IN, IT IS READY BEFORE YOU ARE. EVERYWHERE WE GO, PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. IT SETS IN FRONT OF MY BUSINESS AND WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL CUSTOMERS STOP AND WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.

  • Awesome purchase - 2003 Nissan Murano

    Since assuming sole ownership of said vehicle, I am please to say it is a joy to drive. This is my first Nissan, whereas I was a FORD fan prior and am confident it was a sound decision. No buyers remorse whatsoever.

  • Best Urban SUV - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Overall excellant rating. Features and benefits vs price are one of the best.

  • Stellar - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    This SUV deserves a perfect rating with the exception that the style is either loved or hated by onlookers. But once you have a chance to drive one of these, all doubts about its looks are out the window. Its performance, comfort handling and power are so exceptional that this car deserves to stand out aesthetically. It pioneered the era of the crossover SUV. It handles better than my VW Passat and my Mazda Miata.

  • Very happy with my purchase - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I test-drove virtually all SUVs in the Muranos price range and theur is literally nothing that comes close to its handling, performance and looks. Has many of the benefits of the SUV in a much more driveable package. And personally, I think that the styling is both radical and beautiful. Its one of the prettiest vehicles on the road today and makes every other SUV look like a big box on wheels. Only downside is the ride can be a bit harsh on bad roads. It transmits road problems much the way a sports car does. The Murano gets more than its share of complements from stragers

  • 5000 Miles and very few problems - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I purchased my Murano in Jan of this year, and have really enjoyed driving it, not to mention all of the looks from others who are trying to figure out what it is... I keep discovering new things that didnt quite register with me when they went over it at sale time. The Murano has great pickup when accelerating, you dont feel the downshifts with the CVT, and for a family of four, it is quite comfortable. The appearance of the cargo area is deceiving, it is quite large but doesnt look like it until you open the rear hatch.
