The comfort of driving the car. It also is a safe car. It has front and side airbags.
My Murano is a beautiful car. It rides smooth and is super comfortable. It is loaded with additional equipment that I wanted. I really enjoy driving it and plan on keeping for years.

I love my car and I am lan on keeping it until it falls apart!
I have had my car a year now and absolutely love it. The only problem I have is I wish it had a 3rd row in order to hold more people. It has more room in the back than I thought it did. It drives and handles great. Gas mileage is wonderful for this size vehicle.

Overall highly recommend the Nissan murano.
I have had no issues with my murano. I love the comfort of the leather seats. The front and also the back seats are heated along with the steering wheel. The only dislike about that is when I warm my vehicle up in the winter the seats do not heat until you sit on them. There is plenty of room for 5 people with a nice size compartment in the back. I am planning on purchasing another vehicle next year and will be looking at another Nissan to purchase.

It has not been in the shop for repairs in the 4 years I have had it.
I love the power of the engine, and I love how reliable it has been. I do wish it had a hitch in the back.

It's a car that looks great, reliable, and roomy!
I love my car. It was great for traveling to and from class. It is also a great size for me and my husband to travel in because for a smaller SUV it is roomy. I would highly recommend this car to any looking for a dependable car. I have never had any mechanical issues out of it. I have done regular oil changes and tire rotations to achieve these results.

The back up camera works great, the rear seats go flat makes a lot of space.
The features are great I like the dual air ac system and seat warmers, the rear seat recline make a lot of space and they go flat makes it practical to transport things, I like the back up camera, the trunk his push button very convenient when go grocery shopping.

This car is extremely dependable.
My Murano is the best car that I have ever had. It is comfortable and dependable. I have enough space to haul large items but it is not to big that I feel like I can't control it while driving. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

My vehicle is white and inside is black.
My vehicle never gave problems and the gasoline is the best thing because it takes long to be without this car would really benefit a lot of people with children because it can be spacious and good with the gasoline problem. Plus is a new car so you can keep the style.

You have to remember to check the tire pressure.
My car is pretty reliable. It is a bit bigger than what I am used to, but it makes me feel safe. The gas mileage is pretty good, there’s plenty of space inside, and the technology available in my car is nice. It is not the most up-to-date, but it is all I need!

Great Large SUV; great space
I have put over 15K in less than a year. No major problems. Just regular oil changes and replaced the breaks. Maintenance is not expensive at all. The car has a good amount of power considering the size. Gas mileage isn't great to me but I come from a small compact car. I average 19 MPG. Has a lot of space I was able to fix a washer and dryer with a small coffee table when I moved so it's awesome for large families or hikers.
accountCircle Kenny W
Very spacious. You get plenty of space for cargo.
Tire pressure is a constant issue. Overall, however, it is a great car. Rides great. Limited mechanical issues. Looks good and stylish. Gas mileage is fair. Issues with windshield and frosting where no matter how much you have the defroster on and constantly cleaning windshield, you have an issue on seeing. It does not happen all the time, but it can be a nuisance.

I am able to pull a decent sized boat and flatbed trailer, which is helpful.
I really liked my car when I purchased it and felt it was more luxury than others at the price point. Unfortunately I have since learned that it is the most expensive car to have repairs done on because of the way the engine Is Designed. Multiple mechanics have said the labor on Nissans is higher than any other car.

I have an all black with black leather seats and the trunk space is huge.
I love everything about this car I haven't had any problems with it is performance is amazing it is very reliable and it is super comfortable the one feature I wish it had was either Bluetooth or an AUX cable but other than the I would definitely recommend this car to someone.
accountCircle Sara E
The mom car or a good college car.
Something is always breaking in the vehicle. To me, the vehicle drives like a large golf cart and I prefer something that feels a little heavier. However, the vehicle is very nice for driving in town because it is small and easy to park, it also has enough room for groceries and kids.

Pros and cons of the Nissan murano.
Cons: the murano has really bad blind spots,. The car is overly wide for how cramped it feels, which makes parking difficult. It gets terrible gas mileage- so it is expensive to run. Pros: quick acceleration, above average reliability, and nice outward appearance. Car has held up pretty well.
accountCircle jenna g
It is a great family car. I think it looks similar to other higher end cars. It also has relatively good gas mileage.
I purchased my vehicle pre owned, therefor there were some issues that needed to be fixed. One of which was the air conditioning. I also have to purchase new tires. Other then that it is a reliable vehicle.

Nissan is a wonderful car!
The 2013 Nissan Murano is really nice but the only thing that would be nice if it had a sunroof. It is actually my fiancé's car but we both love it!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Sarah W.

Love the size and comfort of riding. Great safety features, having been experienced. Decent gas mileage. Sport SUV look. Really good trunk space. I love the leather seats that are easier to clean. Love the sunroof feature.

likeFilled Aimy A.

We have 2 kids so it is nice to have a Big trunk to fit the stroller or wagon and more space in the backseat for both the car seats. Since it is high off the ground we find it more comfortable than our Toyota Camry.

likeFilled Daizha P.

This car is very affordable and sturdy. It drives very smoothly and gets great gas mileage on the highway. The cloth seats have great cushion and back support and the rear seats recline for a more comfortable feel for passengers.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Sarah W.

The black leather seats get ridiculously hot in the summer, to where they burn the skin. I had my driver side sun-visor break off for no reason at all. I also had my air conditioning go out before it should have by a year or two. Seat heaters are nice, but no seat coolers is a really big con for me.

dislikeFilled Aimy A.

It is our older car so it does not include newer features such as Bluetooth capability, USB ports, and backup camera. The side view mirrors also does not clear up when it is wet so I always have to use my hands to wipe them clear.

dislikeFilled Daizha P.

The car does get a little dusty sometimes and you will have to clean often. The sun visor can become loose pretty quickly. There are really no other cons about this car. It is great for any college student or soccer mom.
