  You Cant Go Wrong - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Juan from DC - February 2 - 10:00 am

  This car is a bargain compared to Acura MDX, Honda Pilot, Lexus RX330. Its comfortable, has acceleration, maneuverability, convenient/easy to operate interior gadgets(tailgate, seats, etc), has a phenomenal Bose radio, and the styling is a head turner. Handles like a car and is built solid. Fuel use: 19mph in gross rush hour traffic (like average speed of only 27 mph per week (thats not a misprint). Nav system is tremendous convenience. It has a traffic avoidance feature that helps getting around wicked traffic jams. Its easy to use. Caution: If youre looking for a real offroad capability...dont buy a Murano. Other than that...this car is an ace.

  I LOVE IT - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By knotything - January 21 - 2:00 am

  It handles as well as my BMW did. I tried the X5 and the Pacifica.They were overrated(BMW and underpowered (Pacifica). My Blue Murano has 24 ct. plating on the the outside chrome (front and rear) I saw it in the showroom and it was love at 1st sight. Today(12/06/03), in a bad snow storm, I passed alot of struggling cars(BMWs, Jeeps and other lessor Urban SUVs) in a show of superiority. This car is awesome to drive and turns heads. Nissan should have put the Infinity label on the Murano, because the style is superior. People still ask me what it is. One of my employees was upset because her new Lexus SUV was " not as pretty".

  Poor Fuel Economy - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Look4Lin - January 21 - 2:00 am

  We absolutely love the look, the ride, and the comfort of this vehicle. It handles very well, but regardless of city or highway miles, the miles per gallon are not as stated on the dealer invoice. One other small design flaw is the headlight switch placement. This is the only thing we truly do not like about the vehicle. The switch can be manually used, or put in the automatic position.(Which we use.) However, the switch is placed on the blinker arm, and at times when you use the directional, you unknowingly move the position of the headlight setting. If they can improve MPGs and the headlight inconvenience, I would own Murano after Murano for life!

  Murano Too many frivolous frills - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Sparky 2 - January 1 - 2:00 am

  I dont own this car but would like to. I spent a lot of time at IRA Nissan and test drove this vehicle. Its a lot of fun to drive and versatile. Im not sure what to make of the continously variable transmission, time will tell on that. Also, the 18" tires ought to be a bit of a surprise when they need to be replaced, I would bet that they are expensive. Too bad they dont offer a more bare bones AWD version of this car. Its too expensive for me, Id be all over it if it was available in AWD for under $28 k

  MURANO - LEXUS RX WHO??? - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By LUNATIC_989 - December 15 - 10:00 am

  COMPARING THE MURANO TO THE TOYOTA HIGHLANDER IS A JOKE. NOW, KNOWING THAT THE HIGHLANDER IS STEP-BROTHER TO THE LEXUS RX300 (RX330), I THINK IT IS MORE ACCURATE TO COMPARE THESE TWO UNITS. BUT TALK ABOUT BANG-FOR-YOUR- BUCK! THE MURANO ROCKS! ABSOLUTELY FUN TO DRIVE, GREAT HANDLING, GREAT ACCELERATION, STYLING IS THE BEST OUT THERE. A GREAT BUY IN MY OPINION.

  What a Drive! - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By hrdtop57 - December 15 - 10:00 am

  The design of the vehicle is what caught my eye. Looking at the majority of SUVs, they all look alike. The Murano stands out with its "Star Ship Enterprise" design. The CVT makes it a pleasure to drive.

  Awesome Car! - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Steve J - December 15 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I bought this vehicle about 4 months ago and have been extremely satisfied with it thus far. The look is incredible! Everyone asks about it, it is a real head turner. Excellent power from a roll, but a little sluggish from the start. Overall a fantastic car....I cant believe it is not getting higher ratings!

  I love my Murano! - 2003 Nissan Murano

  I traded in a leased Lexus GS 400 and purchased a Murano...and have not regretted the decision.

  A 350Z for non-Acrobats - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Gregg D - December 9 - 2:00 am

  Love this Murano. It has style, power, handling, and versatility. Being 64" tall, I can drive this vehicle for hours on end and not feel exhausted (like I did in the Sequoia I traded for it). Easy ingress/egress. Seats are very comfortable. Controls just happen to be where your hands fall. Tunes are superb. The CVT works very well. No downshifts at passing - just the power when you need it. And it comes very fast - no discernable lag. Fairly economical (19 in town, 24-25 on highway).
