  • 2003 Murano SE HOT!!! - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I picked up my 2003 Murano on 7/3/2003 and put close to 1000 miles on it over the July 4th Weekend This is my first truck and Im totally impressed with it. Ive driven the Ford Explorer & Toyota 4Runner the ride of the Murano is in a class by itself. The CVT transmisson always seems to be in the correct (range/gear) While cursing on the highway at 65mph the RPMs were just below 2K on level ground. The handling while not 100% car like due to the height is excellent. Even highway driving with 5 passengers and luggage in the rear the truck moved effortlessly. The 245 HP powerplant always has power to spare for passing and climbing hills.

    Drove many different vehicles before chosing the Murano. From the styling to the little subtlties of the interior, Nissan has a winner. The SUV is very sporty in its handling yet retains a hint of the truck. Would recommend it for somebody looking for more than the conservative offerings from Honda or Toyota.

    This vehicle does exactly what I need. Excellent seating, great visibility with its large windshield, rapid performance, pleasent Bose sound system and stop on a dime brakes. Great gas milage and smooth, turbine like power delivery. The controls are intutive to use and I love the cell phone compartment. Easy entry into the rear seats which fold flat when down and recline when up. Spacious cargo area with many nooks and crannies for storage. Real aluminum trim pieces. Solid, quality feel to the whole vehicle. This car is my station wagon, Explorer and Lexus in one.

  • Almost Perfect - 2003 Nissan Murano

    A wonderful, comfortable and practical SUV. With some glitches in the software that runs the transmission. Nissan designs and manufactures a strong product, but their software folks need help. And when problems emerge, the weakness of some of their dealership service folks emerge.

  • This SUV is a 10! - 2003 Nissan Murano

    This is probably the best SUV on the road now! I love it. No one need to look further than the Murano. It has everything anyone could want! Seriously.

    Owned all types of cars, 4Runners, Trucks, PT Cruiser and Subarus. This by far is the best I have driveen. Dont need three seats nor a minivan type of vehicle. Want smooth performance and excellent seating for 2. This delivers all and more for the price. Glad someone got it right. Wont drive it off road either that what I hve my truck for so back off on off road ability. This will go anywhere I want to do.

  • Ideal SUV - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Having recently purchased the new 2003 Murano it seems to the perfect suv out there. Very smooth CVT engine; great handling in all types of weather. The styling was the selling point, a cross between the Altima and 350Z. The interior is the best in its class.

  • Best buy ever - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I was initially lured by the Muranos design, then fell in love with how it drove. I bought it new in January 2004 and have never regretted it. 170,000 miles later I am still impressed with its reliability and build. I have only paid for routine maintenance, and continue to enjoy consistent performance. No issues with things falling apart or breaking. Friends comment that it is still "like new". Either I got lucky with a perfect car, or the Murano is just close to perfect.

  • Excellent car!! - 2003 Nissan Murano

    I love this car. I think it is a cross between the SUV and a sporty car. Good Job!!
