My car rides really smooth. It also has the perfect amount of space.

Very reliable vehicle with great performance and safety
Problems only with recall on transmission and replacing battery. Can go 5 thousand miles between oils changes no problem. Rotate tires every 5 thousand miles. Great gas mileage and v6 engine has plenty of power. Has screen display for stereo that is very good. Interior holds up very well. Love this car.

Best vehicle I have ever owned!
My Nissan is extremely reliable. I have 100k miles on it and have never had an issue with anything mechanical, and only once has anything failed in the car, and it was just a fuel sensor. It drives smoothly, like a dream. Plenty of power, smooth stops. I love the convenience and layout of the dashboard, and everyone is always amazed at the ample leg room.

Enjoy sitting high up and the way the car drives.
Love how the car drives and handles when the trunk is full. Trunk is spacious and back seat has enough room for tall people and car east for infant without kicking the back seat. Easy access in and out of the car. The back camera is an added feature.

Great gas mileage and all wheel drive.
Prices of parts are a little high but other than that the all-wheel drives handles in any weather, and also has traction control if you get caught in a messy situation.

Bose stereo system, leather seats, comfortable car.
It had to have a new transmission put in it and luckily we bought the extra bumper to bumper warranty. It has comfortable seats, Bose stereo system, heated seats, sunroof and leather seats.

It a good reliable vehicle and it goes fast as well.
A murano is a good reliable car because it never usually breaks down and there also in good condition, their speed is good and goes fast, it had comfortable seating as well, it reliable on gas and it is good on driving on mountains or going to a steep way.

Extremely reliable for the past decade
The Murano has been a very reliable car for me. I have over 100,000 miles on it currently. I have minimal repairs and maintenance to do.

White 2010 Nissan murano le.
I have had issues with the radiator and air conditioner. Door handle fell off. The rear view mirror keeps falling down. The antenna snapped in the car wash after one use. As far as being reliable, I would say this car is a 5 out of 10. Gas mileage is decent. I hate the cloth seats.

No! I had one that I bought with 165,000 miles on it and the transmission went out on it and I didn't even have 30 days! I paid $6500 for a piece of junk that the salvage dealer paid me $650 for. STAY AWAY!!!!!

White 2010 Nissan murano SUV that is great on gas mileage and gets.
Big vehicle SUV but it drives well! Gets you to and from without a problem. It has good gas mileage. Drives comfortably and great company vehicle that is great for when you take a night out on the town. Problems sometimes with the power steering. You have to add fluid. But Nissan murano is a great SUV for a family and has a lot of room for at least 8 people to drive in.
accountCircle Courtney B
Its very nice and spacious.
Had it only for probably two weeks and I am having trouble with the cvt or transmission that's what the code kept popping up about. So now I am stuck with a car whose transmission could possibly be going out.

My front end needs balancing. . .
I think I need a front end alignment. That or my wheels need balancing. A certain speed my front tires shakes.
accountCircle adam S
Good for the first hundred thousand miles.
Many issues with the transmission. Had to buy a new engine at around 130 thousand miles and at about 150 thousand I had to replace the transmission. Then the windshield frame rusted out and nothing but issue after issue. Will be looking for a new vehicle shortly.

Awesome Nissan murano with plenty of space.
Very comfortable, issues with the thermometer, issues with the radiator, lots of space. Love that the seats in the back go up and down easily, and the back door opens with the push of a button. The seat has warmers, and the sunroof is fantastic. It opens up and adds a moon roof as well.
accountCircle Laura M on May 27, 2021
I love the TV/DVD in the back seats it keeps my kids happy on long car rides.
We have a sunroof, back up camera, very spacious, our vehicle also has DVD TVs in the back seat, very good ac and heat, somewhat good on gas, drives real smooth. Drove from North Carolina to Texas with no problem at all. Not too big or too small of a car. Perfect size for a family of 4.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Janine S.

Space and great for 4 season driving. There is great cargo space for grocery shopping and larger items. The folding seats make it great for bigger purchases. Also the roof rack is great for traveling.

likeFilled Matt S.

It has great gas mileage. It is wonderful in snow due to its AWD system. The interior is very comfortable and also boasts a great Bose sound system. It includes a backup camera as well which helps with daily tasks.

likeFilled Tanya K.

Good gas mileage, nice features such as dual sunroof, heated seats in front and back seats, leather seats, weathertech floor mats, electric back seat to put up and pull lever to put seat in back down, Bose speakers, and all wheel drive.

likeFilled Lori S.

Sits up high and holds the road very well quiet ride with lots of legroom in the back also folds down for some great storage space. Radio works well with great speaker sound little to no maintenance it is a very reliable vehicle.

likeFilled Ian W.

A good sized family car, if occupying 3 adults and a car seat, or 2 adults and 2 car seats. Trying to carry 4 adults and a car seat is a no. Lots of space for carrying luggage, etc. In the back. Safe and reliable to get to and from work.

likeFilled Katie W.

Our Nissan murano has keys free use making it super easy with two toddlers. We also have a variety of upgraded features including seat memory settings, heated seats and Bluetooth capabilities. The vehicle is a smooth nice drive and accommodates all of our needs!

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Janine S.

The headlights on the vehicle are not that bright. The fog lights as well are not that great. The seat warmers don't also heat up. Wish there was just a little more storage inside the vehicle. Also wish back seats warmed up.

dislikeFilled Matt S.

The backup camera stopped working. The suspension has its problems for a lower mileage example of the vehicle. The electronics system defaults every time you shut off the truck. It also has a check engine light for an oil sensor.

dislikeFilled Tanya K.

No Bluetooth and no aux cord hookup, had to buy video type cord to plug into back of console. Limited video options for screen. Would be nice to have more leg room for taller people. Would also be better if it told you which tire is low so you do not have to search each tire to figure it out.

dislikeFilled Lori S.

Older model so it has no backup camera. It has light colored cloth seats so we added seat. Covers to avoid staining the upholstery. The front passenger seat does recline very far so travel in long distances does not mean passenger can test.

dislikeFilled Ian W.

Gas mileage currently is its' flaw. However having it for 10 years and the miles on it can add to that issue. It is a primary family vehicle, so it has been through its' paces. Not being able to accommodate 4 adults and a car seat is also lacking.

dislikeFilled Katie W.

It is a little small with two car seats there is not much extra room for a third person to sit in the back seat. The trunk is a little smaller than I'd like- other than that there are not many cons to this vehicle!

Is The 2010 Nissan Murano A Good Value?

15000.00 7 yrs ago, if you were to buy it now, I do not know what it would cost. We got a good deal in 2013 for a high mileage 3 yr old car.
Deborah W.
I think it is a good value compared to other vehicles. It came with everything. Leather seats and a GPS system.

I don't remember how much it was. I think it was 18,000 or 19,000. It was ok but I wish it didn't have the issues I'm dealing with now.
