  PROBLEMS? - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By RICHARD H - September 19 - 10:00 am

  THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED, BUT THERE ARE STILL SOME ANNOYING PROBLEMS. I HAVE RACED CARS, RESTORED CARS & SHOWED CARS, SO I FEEL NISSAN NEEDS TO GET A LITTLE FEEDBACK FROM OWNERS, NOT JUST COMPLEMENTS.

  Fun to Drive but some bad luck - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Scottyb - September 13 - 2:00 am

  I have had my Murano since September, and it is very fun to drive. It is plenty powerful and it seems to me that it has a nice ride. I have had some issues with the windows creaking and clicking over rough roads and when I turn corners. The dealer has worked on this problem 3 times to no avail. I hope this gets fixed or I will have to ask for another one. This started only two weeks after I bought it. The other issue is not the dealers fault. The hood had bad paint. It was a lighter shade of silver on the front right of the hood. They are repainting it as I write this review. Very good otherwise.

  Loving the Murano - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By angelab39 - September 6 - 2:00 am

  I have had no problems with the vehicle thus far. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my highway gas mileage was better than expected (sometimes over 26 mpg), but my city mileage in stop and go traffic runs about 14 mpg. That is really my only complaint, other than the cargo net which is virtually impossible to figure out. It is great in the snow without even putting snow tires on, and stops on a dime on ice. The heated leather seats are much worth the money, as is the generously sized sunroof. The Xenon headlights are phenomenal.

  Love it - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By camc - August 23 - 2:00 am

  I have had it only for about two weeks but its great. Im looking for any reason to get out and drive it. I also purchased the navigation system which is really pretty slick. Its has hotels,atms,airports and hundred of other preprogramed points of interest. The car ride is really nice. Only complaint I have is that the XM radio option that is advertised is not yet available.

  Love The MO - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By the canuck - August 18 - 2:00 am

  An admitted Nissan devotee, the Murano has exceeded my expectations in all regards. As can be seen at freshalloy.com and nissanmurano.org, most new owners are extremely pleased and excited about the MO. The CVT coupled with the hp make for an outstanding level of performance for a vehicle of this type. With only a couple of minor exceptions (eg. sun visors), both the build quality and quality of materials appear to be typically Nissan -- excellent. If youre unsure about whether or not the exterior styling is "in" or not, just check out the photos of the new BMW X3. If that isnt a copy of the MO, I dont know what is.

  This is a BAAAAD beast! - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Deva - August 13 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Murano after more research and consideration than should be legal. I drove them ALL (Infiniti FX and QX4, Lexus,Pathfinder and Rover to name only a few). This car is HOT. The comfort level is awesome (had a Lincoln Mark VIII) and Im as happy with it as can be. Everything is high quality, from my black leather seats to the adjustable pedals and memory seating. This puppy MOVES, and a Sunday drive through windy roads with the sunroof open is equal to nothing I can think of.

  Awesome machine - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By flinlow - August 13 - 10:00 am

  My fiancee and I just bought the vehicle three weeks ago. We absolutely love it. It has plenty of room for us and a kid. The power on it is more than enough. The transmission is probably the best feature as it makes the vehicle ride smoothe.

  A pleasure to own - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By GeoM - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Bought it a week ago fully loaded. Really stylish and a joy to drive. Love the navigation system and all the features it has. Getting 25 mpg hwy and 18 local. Not bad for a vehicle this size and weight. Roomy and comfortable too.

  Slightly above average - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Rocklander - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Dont like CVT transmission at all. Slow acceleration, compared to other SUV like ML 320 or X5. Fuel economy on the highway - 18.5, on average. Rattling doors. Brakes are not adequate to the weight of the vehicle. Long stopping distance.

  Decent outside, poor inside, high price - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By David Kaiser - July 12 - 2:00 am

  In person the Murano is a beauty. Inside is a different story. The seats are good but not great. The instrument thing on top of the steering wheel looks cheap and feels cheaper. The center dash looks like a glued on after thought. The plastics are OK but dull. There is huge "ledge" under the windshield. Think minivan inside. The V6 is powerful, the CVT strange but it really works. Power is very good from a stop or when passing. The suspension is decent, a little stiffer over bumps, but better than most SUVs. Steering is somewhat tight, but still feels strange. Brakes are good.
