  • Blue Murana SE AWD w/ Charcol Leather - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    My 5th day with the brand new Murano. Traded in my 98 Pathfinder. Much better compare to the 03 Pathfinder. Only th 03 Pilot came close to the engine smoothness, but the Murano feels more luxurious and is much more fun to drive. The cornering performance is amazing especially compare to all other SUVs that I have test driven.

  • Wish I could stop smiling - 2003 Nissan Murano

    My face is getting sore from all the smiling I do when I see/get into/drive my Murano. The vehicle is amazing. It is powerful, stylish, luxurious, and it has everything I wanted on it. Waited a month to get it. Actually shocked that I got so much car for this price. Truly the nicest vehicle I have ever owned and a pleasure to drive. My driving experience is pleasurable again. Cought myself praying for traffic the other day so I could spend more time in it...

  • Loved it so much I bought one!!! - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I originally went into the Nissan dealer to purchase a 350Z Track. There infront of me was a Murano. This is one of the best SUV/Cars Ive ever driven. Now its not a 350Z Track but it is more practical. You have to expereice this car/SUV to appriciate it. Its amazing reading some of the other comments some people made on this sight. I can imagine some of the negative comments were made by 16 year olds and or people that have never driven this car/SUV. Thats ok I put my money where my mouth is.

  • The Grin is In... - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I spent about 8 months looking at options and always kept coming back to the Murano. At the time it wasnt even available yet. I knew it had the technological edge over the competition, but it wasnt until I test drove the SE model that I knew I would be buying one. Ive now had it for a month and its been good to me, and yes that grin on the grill reflects the one on my face. This is one excellent drive, plus its reasonably sensible.

  • Awesome Murano - 2003 Nissan Murano

    Excellent vehicle. Looks good, handles good, reasonable mileage for type of vehicle. Get appreciative looks whereever I go. Initial inspection revealed on minor flaw in the interior which I did not have fixed due to flaws location not being very noticable.

  • Morano Murano - 2003 Nissan Murano

    After having numerous American and German vehicles, including a WWII halftrack, the Murano is a fabulous pleasure to enjoy. From the great Nissan handling and acceleration, the well thought out interior and innovative features such as the CVT, to common sense layout and easy access, legroom, adjustability and storage space, I can truly say there is no other vehicle in my 30 years of driving, that I have found as much fun and practical. Nissan you got it right, here! (What happened with the new Maxima? Oops!)

  • Great Investment - 2003 Nissan Murano

    This is an undersized, overbuilt (a good thing) SUV. It is the perfect family car.

  • Great! So Far......... - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Just picked it up $2,700 under MSRP. Fully loaded, everything except navagation system. Its my wifes car and she loves it. We still need to figure out all the "gadgets". It has terrific power and rides smoothly. Noted some reviews mention noise with sunroof open. Have found this to be true. This Maurano did not come with sunroof deflector. Strange for a vehicle with everything. We love the looks and do not see many on the road. Concerned about stated gas mileage, getting 14.7 around town. Hope to get better than that! My wife will be running on the highway. This is our first SUV and first foreign vehicle.

  • Looking forward to my next one! - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    No problems at all with fuel economy. This is like any other vehicle..if you drive it hard, the economy suffers, but I regularly get better than 25 MPG on the highway. Very comfortable vehicle with heated seats. Handles like a dream and quality is better than my 2001 Odyssey. Better attention to details than most manufacturers. Im looking forward to getting my next one.... Im thinking an SE AWD with leather.

  • Great crossover! - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Nissan blew it with the minimal advertising of this great vehicle! It rides wonderfully, is very luxurious and comfortable inside and has loads of safety and comfort features. It is perfect for those who no longer need the seating in a van, and who want the option of 4 wheel drive, a great transmission, plenty of power, and comfort!
