That it handles well on the road with good pick up
I like that it handles on the road so well that it looks sharp has good safety records and the cargo space is large

I love my 2004 Nissan murano. Keep your oils changed and it lasts forever.
So my truck is very roomy. You can let the back seats down and you are able to make a bed and go to sleep. I was told by a mechanic that it drinks oil so you would have to make sure you keep oil in it or get the oil changed often. Since it is a truck, it sometimes sound like a commercial truck when you are driving it. I really don't have any other problems with my truck. I honestly love the truck.

Great for families and trips.
Really easy to drive, lots of space and very comfortable. Amazing for road trips including camping. There has not been any problems just yet. Sunroof that can be covered has its own buttons for it. Really good on gas for long distance driving. Very safe and quiet but efficient motor. Very pretty and perfect for families with small children.

You get a lot of room with this vehicle. You don't feel stuffed in when you have many friends or family with you.
I love my vehicle because it has so much room. There is a lot of legroom in the front and back seats. I love that the back is a hatchback and it stores tons of stuff. I like the extra height it provides for me because it makes it easier to get in and out. The gas mileage is great.

It's the absolute bomb.com car! So cute and so versatile!
I love how my car drives! I love how it has maps built in. I wish it wasn't currently broken!

The car is 14 years old and still looks and rides like a new car.
I love everything about my car: the look, the comfort, ease of driving, and price. I especially like the added features such as the sunroof and wheels.

My Murano has given me trouble since I purchased it
I wish I could say my Murano was reliable for my kids and I. Since I purchased this vehicle from car max I have had problems with it. This was my first car I had financed and it has been my worst. First of all this car has an electrical problem, the lights keeps flickering, I have replaced batteries and alternators and that seems to not be the problem. The brake and battery light constantly comes on. I have replaced every sensor that needed to be replaced and this truck still have problems. I have also purchased two fuel pumps and sensor codes keep popping up. This truck has been my worst nightmare and I wish I would’ve left it on Carmax car lot. This truck killed on me in the middle of the highway once, it was a total nightmare. The particular Murano I brought is not reliable it constantly have problems and it makes me not want another Nissan at all

Great, but not so great!!
This car has had many major repairs since I've bought it. . . The transmission is currently slipping. Other then that love the space. Heated electric seats. Spacious enough for a family of 5. Great vehicle when maintained correctly. The leather seats are nice as well.

The back hatch is more roomy than the back seat
They are a little small, it runs ok but needs work, I normally like bigger suv it doesn't have usb port so hard with the hands free new law

Overall, the Nissan Murano is a great car if you are going to be using it a lot.
The car runs extremely smooth. I have 151 thousand miles on it and just now, things are beginning to go wrong. The gas is great in the vehicle. However, the car does have many recalls for this edition and year. It has approximately 6 recalls and majors ones at that.

A good size and feels safe
I like the size of the car. I also like how It's is not leather inside. I don't like that it goes slows

Lots of space, safe family vehicle.
I love the space in my vehicle! It is a bit tricky backing out of difficult places but the extra protection is worth it. My vehicle does take quite a little bit on gas. It is not too expensive of a vehicle to have to repair. I bought mine at an auction so it does hard shift, but after an oil change and replacing all the spark plugs, it still rides pretty smooth.
