  Already Partial To Nissan! - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Shaverklan - August 11 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned Nissans in the past and was already partial to them which is why I checked out the Murano. But just to make an informative choice, I also checked out the Lexus, The BMW, The Infinite, None of which compared, and which was backed up by the online studies. I love the CVT, super smooth, esp. climbing steep grades. you gotta go try some mountain driving! Nissan did everything right on this vehicle. Yeah, theyre still my favorite!

  Murano, Transmitions are ok dont worry, - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By chrssll - July 24 - 7:43 pm

  Hello my name is Chris from Ma, I just purchased my 2003 Murano SL AWD with 63k on it. I love the interior and exterior. I read the reviews about the CVT transmissions with customers having issues with them. I called Nissan today because I had thought i was having trouble with my tranny but they told me most people dont know and arent used to driving with the CVT thats why they think they are having trouble with them. Nissan recently extended their warranty to 10 years or 120,000 miles on any Nissan with the CVT. You dont have to do any thing to receive this warranty what so ever. ALSO if you have repaired your transmission withing the 120K they will send you in full your money back.

  Too big for you? - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Redgray - July 5 - 10:00 am

  While I think the car is great looking, after driving it three months, Im beginning to have my doubts. Driver comfort is the biggest complaint. I find the front seats to be too wide--so that I cant have an arm on the console and an arm on the door at the same time. Because the seats so wide, and with leather, as I drive around curves or corners, I slide side to side in the seat, constantly readjusting my hands on the wheel. Its not a restful ride because of all the readjusting. And, for those of us not 6 ft tall, the armrest doesnt move forward far enough to rest an elbow while holding the wheel.

  Out of the box of lookalike SUVs - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Psyched - July 5 - 10:00 am

  Its been said that this is the "Z" of SUVs, and I think Id have to agree with that. My FWD SE handles great, stops remarkably quickly, and is seamless in its acceleration. The cabin is comfortable and stylish.

  Murano: A Great Car! - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By John Clark - June 29 - 2:00 am

  From styling to performance this car is absolutly great! We have enjoyed it from the first test drive. We get 21.8 MPG around town. Weve only taken it on one trip and got 24.4 MPG. Considering the power and size of the car we feel the MPG is great. Several friends are considering buying this car now.

  170,000 in 6 yrs & still going strong! - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Susan - June 18 - 4:50 am

  I was really surprised to read of the problems that others have had with their 2003 Murano. With 170,000+ miles on mine, of course Ive had to replace normal wear-out parts, do the brakes, etc, Also had to replace front strut sleeves, but that is the only problem that I have had in 170,000 miles. Love the transmission and I have always done as my salesman advised, "Come to a COMPLETE stop before shifting from reverse to drive - no rolling shifts!" I like mine so much that when I get another 50,000 miles on her (about 1 1/2 years for me), Im going to get another Murano. I do wish that the back window rolled down, though.

  CVT needs replacement after 5 years - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By bummed about cvt - June 12 - 7:06 pm

  At 60000 the transmission was already having problems. At 70000 miles and 5 years old my transmission needs replacement. While driving for about 10-15 miles, it would have resistance at a stop sign, trying to pull into traffic. I would press the gas pedal and the Murano doesnt want to go, its scary when I pull into traffic and a car is coming. I love all other features of the Murano, just the CVT stinks. Today my Murano is stuck in the shop and I need $5000-$6000 to replace the transmission.

  Dont miss the Audi - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By Doctor Liz - June 3 - 2:00 am

  I traded in my Audi A6 Quattro on this car and thought that I would miss the comfort. I dont, the Murano rides great, and is very quiet. I have only driven it 1200 miles, so the gas mileage isnt what I would like, but it isnt much less than the Audi. I sure get lots of people asking me about it, and it is a real hit with my family and friends.

  Week 1- I still like it - 2003 Nissan Murano
  By pk - May 24 - 10:00 am

  Likes: styling-its been a head- turner; I dont get fatigued driving long distances; initial quality has been near-perfect;front cup-holder is an accident-waiting-to-happen; gas mileage could be better (17-22 initally-Im hoping it will improve); rear visibility is so limited, Im having a back-up warning system installed;passenger room is ample; cargo capacity is adequate (barely); power-wise, its not an FX35, but its got plenty of off-the-line zip and passing power. Overall, I am more than pleased.
