  Hands down best value in its class - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By Michael - January 30 - 1:46 am

  I have been a loyal Nissan owner for 16 years. I have owned 3 Maximas including my current 2000 Maxima SE. Without a doubt the Nissan Murano is the best bang for your buck if your looking for performance, comfort and a distinct driving machine. We chose the base S model which comes with a load of standard equipment. We had the Factory leather seating surface installed at the dealership for $700 dollars more. We ended up saving $1800 doing it that way since the leather packge is not available on the S model. I highly reccomend this Crossover SUV to anyone looking at a Lexus RX330. You will save thousands and get even better performance. The 345 Horse Power CVT V6 is a dream. A great Car!!

  Great SUV but styling no longer excites - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By thegmen - January 26 - 1:26 am

  Its reliable, comfortable and well made. Best vehicle Ive ever owned. Interior materials not as premium as they look. Leather wrinkles on drivers seat have begun to crack thru. Simulated alloy trim on center console dents easily.

  Dont expect a quality warranty! - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By custservice1 - January 2 - 12:18 am

  The transmission has a poor warranty of 5 years and / or 60,000 miles. My wifes vehicle has always been maintained and driven well but at 58,000 miles (2 1/2 months after the five year warranty expired) the transmission completely went out. The dealership qutoed $3,800 for the repair / replacement. We phoned Nissan directly (and the dealership also contacted them about the issue) hoping they would stand behind their car and help with a portion of the $4,000 bill for an obviously faulty transmission. The Nissan representative took 3 weeks to give an answer and then the answer was no, because oil changes and tire rotations were not done by the dealership! Dont expect them to stand behind it

  For the non-boring personality - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By Chris Roberts - November 20 - 7:30 am

  After driving quite a few other makes ranging from the domestics to Toyota and Lexus, the Murano seemed to give the most features for the buck without that conservative blah feeling. I have always been a fan of Nissans engines (a mechanic friend considers them "bulletproof"),though this is the first one I have owned- I am not dissappointed. The CVT transmission is shiftless and doesnt quite give the thrust of the same engine in other applications, but I feel the Murano is still one of quickest of the vehicles I drove. The safety is there for my wife and daughter but most of the SUVs seemed generally well equiped in that respect.

  Brakes and Gas Tanks - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By Breaks and Gas Tanks - October 7 - 3:26 am

  Its a Very Good car overall. Its powerful and handles well. Its Roomy inside and the leather feels nice. I had some problems the dealer cannot fix. Brakes squeak in the morning when backing out of the drive way, Complained 6 times and the dealer really try to fix it but cannot. Another problem is when fueling. The pump shuts itself off because the tank does not have "air return"?? The dealer know of this problem and has ordered a new tank. The dealer said its the fuel pump inside the gas tank. About the squicky breaks, dealer said its the type of material Nissan uses on the breaks, no solutions.

  so far, so good - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By bob payne - August 16 - 3:10 am

  After 1000 km, my Murano has lived up to the reviews. The drive position is very comfortable and it is a dream to drive. The new color, Merlot, is a real plus. There is not a single rattle, buzz or hum and the CVT transmission is first rate.

  best suv dollar for dollar!!!!!! - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By BARNEY FREEDMAN - June 15 - 1:56 pm

  i have been the car business for 22 years an drove mercedes, bmw, landrovers etc...i have never driven a $36,000 vechicle that handles so well and offers packages that highline suvs offer, rear camera when you put car in reverse a smart key that lets you open the door without a key. all in all the dollar value for a mid size suv!!!!

  Some days - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By KG - May 12 - 12:20 am

  Most of the time I love my Murano. However, when I have problems it seems to take multiple visits to the dealer to cure them. It took a year to solve a creak in the sun visors. Ive made at least 4 visits for a creaking drivers door. Any road imperfections make it creak and it is embarassing when you have others in the vehicle. The door panel has to be replaced. Cruise control will occasionally not respond when I tap the brake pedal have to slam on the brakes or turn off cruise control. The dealer just replaced the master cylinder hoping that will cure the problem So doI! Nissan should spend more money on the interior. It feels like all the money was spent on exterior design.

  Hidden Transmission warranty - 2006 Nissan Murano
  By My2006 - May 3 - 2:26 pm

  OK, need some Karma so thought Id take the time to post. My wifes 2006 Murano with ~115K on it had the transmission die. IIRC, Nissan has a free Extended Warranty added to all 2003 (?) - 2009 or 2010 Muranos transmissions. My $4000 Dealer price replacement ended up being free. Did have a minor problem as my wifes Murano was a Japanese Manf. vehicle, and the VIN had aged out of their system. Took a day or so for the Dealer (Napa Ca ended up being the most helpfuly and did the work) to get it pulled back from HQ database. This isnt exactly advertised as far as I know, or at least not widely. This covers only the transmission, and is valid for Muranos with 10 years/120K or less. Here is the notice actually: http://www.nissanassist.com/ProgramDetails.php?menu=2 Was initially POd as wife had given me her car as weve moved from NorCal to WNY and the AWD was a prime feature. Very nice that Nissan recognized the problem with early CVT introduction to their line, and didnt screw over their customers.
