Overview & Reviews
SE models now include a manual-shift mode for the CVT, and satellite radio pre-wiring is standard on all models. The standard driver seat now features 10-way power adjustment.
- Excellent handling, comfortable and practical interior, unique styling inside and out, smooth and powerful engine.
- Continuously variable transmission detracts from performance, SE model rides harshly, no third-row seat, gets pricey with options.

Great ride - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Ray - May 10 - 11:56 amThis vehicle has had nothing but regular maintenance for 30k miles. Compared to my previous vehicles (Audi A4, Porsche 944) maintenance costs are insignificant. The seats are roomy and comfortable, although I prefer a more snug fit. Overall quality is excellent. My combined city/highway mileage is about 20mpg - not great but tolerable.

Nice Machine - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Charockin - April 24 - 2:16 pmTrue sports truck! No problem taking curves hard. Love the manual shift on the SE. CVT is ultra smooth. Interior room is great. Poor mans BMW X5 and I dont mind being with this one.

04 Murrano issues - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Mo2004 - April 19 - 12:20 amI have over 100,000 miles and really enjoyed driving the Murano until the little issues that have occurred over the time of driving. The alternator replaced (free do to recall). The driver side sun visor does not stay in place which a number of owners have wrote about. The cost to repair is about $350 for just the sun visor. The lock on the fuel tank stop functioning, the motor to adjust the seats on the driver side stop functioning. The front and right side motor mounts went bad ($1000 to repair). The motor mount issue is apparently with all Nissan vehicles. The vehicle is a great looking design, CVT engine is nice feel, and overall a good design.

New Owner - 2004 Nissan Murano
By NewOwner - April 14 - 6:43 amI have purchased an 04 SL w/16000 miles. So far a a month of ownership I did not encounter any problems. I love the CVT it makes for a smooth ride. The acceleration is above avarage for an SUV but stability on turn is not as I would hope for. The MPG is slightly lower than stated in documents but not bad for this type of enigne. Dont like the front instrument panel (looks like something out of a "future car" movies) but everything else looks comforting. Side nerf of step bars will give it a more sporty look.

Murano is great - 2004 Nissan Murano
By rick1 - March 7 - 10:00 amThe styling is equal to any Ive seen on the streets. I find the transmission not power sapping as stated by the editor, a little slow to respond, maybe only 1 second but nothing that takes away from the fun of driving. Plenty of power when you need ot accelerate.

Proud Murano Owner - 2004 Nissan Murano
By mytho-x - February 24 - 10:00 amPrior to buying the Murano, I was seriously considering the Touareg and the MDX. After test driving the Murano, I knew this was the SUV for me. The price I paid for the Murano will all the goodies (SE AWD, fully loaded with everything) was far less than the Acura and VW. True, I might have missed out on the upscale image of the Acura, but who cares. The Murano is new, inside and out. The MDX really looks dated compared to the Nissan. As for the VW...it was nice, but reliability issues was a concern. Overall, Im very happy I got the Murano.

Glad I got it! - 2004 Nissan Murano
By zlot - January 29 - 2:00 amWhile I was at first a bit hesitant about getting a relatively high ended vehicle the Murano is everything I was looking for and more. Im real pleased with the purchase. Dealerships may leave something to be desired, but the car is a go.

Nissan, never again - 2004 Nissan Murano
By nutmeg1416 - January 24 - 10:50 amI loved my Murano and had the ability to overlook a major headlight issue at 40,000 mi because of the drive and comfort. Now, at 85,000 mi I am facing AWD transfer case issues which are due to a control panel flaw. The transfer case is susceptible to cracking because of control panel. Nissan fixed the problem in 05 models and on, but will recognize that there is no issue with my car. I have been extremely disappointed with the way Nissan has treated me through this ordeal. Such an expensive car should NOT have $5000 in repairs before 100k miles, very disappointed in reliability.
