  • I like it - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Been very happy with my Nissan. Im a bigger guy and this cabin is very roomy. Lots of leg and head room for the front and the back which I found hard to find in SUVs. The fit and finish of the car is good. Gas mileage is better than my old Montero. I average about 18 to 19 miles in predominant city driving. On the highway it does great. The AWD is very nice in the midwest and provides a nice tight drive. The CVT is awkward. Im still getting use to the deceleration. The car is very responsive in acceleration and thats nice. There is a strange hiccup when slowing down. You must also learn to feather the gas in the snow/slush

  • Glad I got it! - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I just bought my Murano used a month ago from a private party. It only had 8,100 miles on it (2006). I looked for a year and got a great price for an SL in perfect condition. I love driving this car. Its zippy, and fun. The Bose stereo system sounds great for most, if youre really into your music you might be a little disappointed. The suspension is a little soft on the SL model if you really like to put the car through the turns. But overall Im very happy with the car!! I love the interior and exterior lines.

  • The Z of suvs - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Just bought this after driving a 97 Maxima for 11 years. The Maxima was the best car Id ever owned. The Murano seems like it may be just as good. Solid feel, great road view, excellent quality interior materials, great VQ engine power and unbelievable handling. Nissan calls it the Smooth- UV. I agree.

  • Innovative but some quality issues - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The Nissan Murano is a very innovative car - first to market in the crossover segment. I transitioned from the Frontier, so better gas mileage but could still be better. Best we have gotten is 20 mpg. The only negative is there are definitely issues with the gas tank design. Had lots of trouble with getting fuel in the vehicle. Dealership service was accomodating and replaced the tank, but when you pay this much of a vehicle these issues should not surface. Overall a fun car to drive with great room - Im 65" and have plenty of room. Missed emotions on the CVT ... robs car of power when you need it. Defintely check this car out.

  • FANTABULOUS - 2006 Nissan Murano

    I absolutely love this car. Very comfortable as the driver; and get lots of compliments on how comfortable the back seat passengers are. Excellent "road trip" vehicle offering extreme comfort and dependability.

  • nice suv... - 2006 Nissan Murano

    purchased 06 Murano last week, fun to drive and I love it. Drove Lexus (expensive with the same options) and Honda Pilot before buying this and guess what Murano is the best...

  • Repairs a Nightmare - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I have had this car for going on 9 years, I have had to change the struts, CV Boots leaked, the transmission blew up (TWICE), (Thank God It was still under warranty) The drivers side window motor doesnt work and I cant afford to have it replaced yet. Because the Dealers are too damn expensive. The front head lamp lenses are too foggy (AGAIN Too expensive to replace). There were at least two other major problems on this SUV, I cant remember what they were right now., But Yes, I will truly look at other makes and models next time I go looking for another car. Everything interior was mostly good, however, the mechanics of the vehicle have NOT been reliable to me. It has cost me too much to have, and I will be looking other places for sure!

  • A notch (+) above the rest - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    If you are looking for something above the rest. Something FUN to drive and very High Tech, take a close look at the Murano SL. Good to fair MPG considering its a SUV. Some of the options are amazing. So far, I couldnt be happier.

  • Never expected the goodies... - 2006 Nissan Murano
    By -

    This SUV was the last of my test drives and I purchased it the same day. I got lots of interior space for 4-5 people, love the cockpit driver area with big dash board and over-abundance of added optional equipment. I went for "fully-loaded" with no regrets. Right away I was impressed with the quickness of acceleration and handling. Its a nice quite ride and the front dash is well centered and balanced with features. I have had no real issues and would repurchase a month later this same SUV. I find its cute to look at, easy to park and fun to drive. The gas mileage is accurate and now I just need to plan a trip to the mountains to fully appreciate this vehicle.
