The most important thing is it's reliability and quality of workmanship. The safety features make a sense of security and the roominess is great.

I purchased my vehicle in 2007 and maintained it as required. Replaced tires and brakes as needed and changed the oil every three thousand miles. The car is very reliable as only normal maintenance is all it needed. A/C works well, all electronics and accessories work well also. I wouldn't replace this car unless I had no choice.

- Louis N

I don't know if this is a common problem or if it is just mine.

The Murano is comfortable with the leather adjustable seats. Great gas mileage when it is running right. However ours currently has a problem that a Nissan dealership along with several senior mechanics could not figure out that causes the car to stall & run rough when it is over 50 degrees. If it is cold the car runs great.

- Lacey S

It's very reliable and has made several long distance trips without any incidents.

I love it because it's AWD, and it does wonderfully in winter weather. It's very reliable. Have not had many issues with the vehicle. However, I do not like how my car makes a screeching noise when braking while backing up. Have had it looked at several times, but it is resolved only for a short amount of time.
