So far it's reliable and dependable. Get good gas mileage.
I dislike that i can't use the Bluetooth without paying for onstar. It did come with tinted windows which i like. But it does bog down when i go up hill.

It's amazing. Would recommended for a small family of 4, save to travel.
Have had truck for two years now and I haven't had no issues. Great gas saver, space for a small family trip. Has retro camera.I love it because is so relabeled and cannot be happier with this SUV. I love the AC system, you get to choose temperature for both driver and passenger

Served Me Well in the Long Run!
Roomy for travel or kids, decent gas mileage, no problems other than expected age related problems. There is a semi-blind spot you have to be careful changing lanes.

This car is very roomy! Perfect for families.
My vehicle is currently broken down. When it is running it is a wonderful car to drive. It is smooth and high off the ground.

I love the size. I love the options it has. Luxurious vehicle. Nice size to drive all around.
accountCircle Deborah S
It's a very dependable vehicle and just the right size.
It's a good size, it rides smooth and other than regular maintenance have not had any trouble out of it. I would buy another.
accountCircle Cheyenne S
The one thing I like the most about my vehicle is the backup camera.
Performance is amazing. It gets really good gas mileage, has a really good sound system, and comes with a backup camera! It is really comfortable for people who like off the ground cars. It features automatic windows, seats, and locks. It is also capable of having a remote control to lock and unlock your car.

Drive it backwards before you buy or you will spend a whole lot of time looking for a parking space that you can exit safely
I love the way it looks; I hate that I can not see to back up.
accountCircle tim f
The car is not friendly to mechanics. They make the car nearly impossible to repair.
I do not like working on it.the car is hard to work on.i do like that it is dependable
accountCircle Louis J
It was an okay car to own.
The car ran well. It did what I needed it to do. It wasn't the nicest car. It didn't have the best mileage.
accountCircle Felicia S
It does have transmission issues when looking up things about the vehicle.
Dislike having transmission issues. Other than that, we love the car. We love the gas mileage we get.

Great in the snow
It has been a good car for the area we live in. The drivers window will roll up and then partially roll back down. Got it fixed once but didn't last. The passenger window is reall slow to roll up. The awd button broke when I pushed it down. The back up camera quit working. The power steering and radio controls on the steering wheel no longer work. Uses a little oil now. . It is very dependable though. Runs and sounds good.
accountCircle Angela C
Overall a decent vehicle!
Driver side seat after three years of the purchase broke, and there was no recall on the car for this. Overall the drive/ride is smooth. As the car is aging there are more issues that arise as with any older car, but simple fixes. Overall this has been a good reliable car, but would have done more research on cars available.
accountCircle Isaiah W
It has a great sound system.
Nissans tend to have a lot of issues to fix when something goes wrong. It is still a comfortable car, but can get pricey when it comes to getting the repairs done.
accountCircle Michelle L
It is reliable and drives well in all weather conditions.
It drives very smooth. Haven't had any real problems with it. Decent gas mileage. Runs well in snow and mountains. .

Reliable and Family Approved SUV, With Remote Start!
I bought my Murano used from a friend in 2018. I have not had too many problems with the vehicle since I purchased it. I've had to replace a few minor parts such as windshield wipers and a fuse or two. It gets fantastic gas mileage on the highway but not so much in town. It's very reliable which was needed since it's a family car. It's also very comfortable on long car trips for the kids and me as well. The kids enjoy the cup holder and I tend to enjoy the extra space it puts between them. It has a remote start feature that I enjoy especially in the winter months living here in Montana. It also has GPS and automatic headlights which are nice as well. If I could change something I would add probably a bigger gas tank.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Laura H.

It is good on gas. It has a lot of room. One of my favorite features is the heated seats. I also like that I can let the back seats down in order to haul bigger items like furniture. The rear backup camera is also nice.

likeFilled Danielle M.

I love how Spacious this car is! So much room, huge truck and plenty of room in each seat. Sleek interior. Great on gas. Quiet and reliable! Car runs great real low maintenance. Not much wrong to say.

likeFilled Kel S.

Leather seats and a sunroof. The car is ok and has plenty of space in the back for cargo. It is very roomy as well in the front and the back. Lots of legroom. The car is ok I guess not my favorite and a pain at times as well to work on with its issues.

likeFilled Skyler J.

Pros: car is decent on gas, upgraded in ways, easy to drive, larger than expected, does good in snow and rain, seats are comfortable, heated seats, sunroof, radio system is good, gas cap locks when car is locked.

likeFilled Besa I.

Nissan murano is super cute, but mine is an old model, 2006 year of production, is not so comfortable, have problems with the driver's seat (it brokers since the beginning), the sport activation is very fat and funny to use, but be careful to not destroy the engine parts, they are expensive to maintain.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Laura H.

Probably one of the biggest cons is that it is loud when you crank it up. Even though it is good on gas, the gas mileage could be improved. I have had it go dead on me before when it was getting close to time for an oil change. It would be better if the back seats folded flat into the floorboard.

dislikeFilled Danielle M.

Only seems to run right with premium gas. So it costs a little more when you buy items. This car only takes the best and the backup camera screen is a little lower definition than others. Needs better hd.

dislikeFilled Kel S.

Mechanical failures, the windows are electric and seem to go down every time it rains. Even when they are locked and car is locked. I am not sure what to do about it. Otherwise I like the car and wish it was 4 wheel drive.

dislikeFilled Skyler J.

I don't really have any cons to this vehicle at this moment. I love everything about it, nice comfortable and affordable ride. Luxurious but not overly done. Plenty of room and nice room in the hatch also.

dislikeFilled Besa I.

So far is a good car, beautiful from outside and inside and fun to drive. The front seats are not so comfortable, the back ones are more comfortable. They have a DVD screen for the back seats to watch, which is cute and have a GPS installed at the front.
