  • 15,000 miles - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I have put 15K on this car so far. I enjoy it more the more I drive it. My last tank got 19.6 in city. Usually get 23 on Hwy. The ride is harsh in the SE version but the trade off is a great sports-car like driving experience. Highway driving is the best due to the sports suspension. The power is a little weak off the mark but builds up good momentum and has pleanty of Highway power. Great overall vehicle.

  • Great MPG - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I Have owned and driven many different vehicles, and the Murano is definitly the best bang for the buck! All these people complaining about MPG are looking at the onboard computer and not considering thier idling time or their driving habits. If you set the cruise at 60 you will see 24-25 mpg as I do every day!I get19-20 around town too! But If "I step on it" it goes down quick. I love the handling on the SE much better than the SL as I tend to "cruise along quickly". Wife loves it so much she say she is getting the 2005 when it comes out!

  • Excellent MPG with Mobile 1, K&N - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Black SE AWD First oil change, I put mobile one and a K&N air filter. My mpg went up by 3-4 mpg. Now I get 27-28 mpg average on the highway at 62 - 65 mph. (30 at 55). You guys have to try it, you wont believe the difference.

  • AWD w/nav bought Used - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I just bought this used Murano w/nav for the wife and love it! For an 04 it was in great shape. The nav is pretty cool (wish it was voice activated). Put on chrome wheels for the wife and it looks much better with them. I have had decent luck with Nissan so I hope that continues. Looked at the RX330 but for the money this was the best deal.

  • A Total Dream - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    As a retired couple, we hesitated on whether we needed such a large vehicle. However, the ease of getting in and out almost sold it to us on the spot. The road handling is fantastic, the comfort superb, and the power impressive. Not for one second have we had any regret about this purchase- our fourth straight Nissan.

  • Underestimated the Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Initially when the Murano came out, I didnt think much of it, I thought it looked like a spaceship. Then I started to shop around for an SUV, wanted to stay below $40k. My choices were down to Pilot and Murano after test driving these vehicles. I liked the Murano and Nissan was mroe flexible with the pricing then Honda. Honda werent budging with the price on the Pilot, and plus I dont have a family, so I have no need for the third row seat. I love the Murano SE AWD, esp the 18 inch wheels & the bright HID lights

  • Awesome! - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    This is an excellent car. I first considered Highlander or a Pilot. But after taking a test drive on Murano, I couldnt even think of test driving others. I am very happy with the Murano! It rocks and its absolutely fabulous to drive.

  • SE Murano - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Ok, I bought a 2003 Nissan Murano at the beginning of last summer. 12000 miles later I still love my car. I am a bit rough on it and drive it like a sports car. This car really can move, you can take turns up to 40mph without your wheels skidding out, but watch out, the oil pan is a little weak as I broke it. Also, beware of gas mileage I only get 15.5 mpg. Granted that number is low because of my driving habits, but even when I drive nicely I can only get 16.5-17 in the city.

  • Use to own a Cadillac - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    when we test drove this vehicle we knew it had to be designed by a realtor. It is the perfect vehicle for sales people plenty of storage and space for lap top or my wife can lock her purse in the console. It has all the features that we had with our Caddy but none of the problems. this vehicle is surprisingly responsive and the transmission is something to get use to since you cannot feel a shift. have received nothing but positive comments from friends and others.
