2003 Nissan Murano SE AWD 3.5 from North America

Summary:

A Nissan 350 Sports Wagon

Faults:

Car is new and has zero defects.

General Comments:

Overall the sport wagon is excellent. It gets kudos for the Constantly Variable transmission (CVT) and the sports car like handling. The interior room and comfort, including headroom are better than it's competition.

I compared this to the Pathfinder, RX300, MDX, Pilot & Highlander and it is far superior in all aspects, especially "fun to drive".

I've been trying to decide between a Murano and a Honda Pilot. I prefer the performance of the Murano, but it bothers me that it doesn't have the perfect safety rating of the Pilot. Tough decision when people seem so happy with both.

2003 Nissan Murano SL-AWD Gas from North America

Summary:

Murano is a perfect SUV

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

I love this care very much. It's fast, smooth, and quiet. It's a gas saver too to compare to the Pathfinder I had it before. Take a test drive and see for yourself. Only one thing Nissan needs to improve is the front end.

Hey... don't leave us hanging. What do you mean by fix the front end?

Thanks.

2003 Nissan Murano SE 3.5L DOHC V6 from North America

Summary:

Test drive one and see for yourself!

Faults:

Nothing yet, but it's a brand new car!

General Comments:

If you know what's good for you, buy this SUV. Performance is stunning, and the design is head turning. I also test drove an Acura MDX, Nissan Pathfinder, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and a Lexus RX 300. The Murano was better than them all!

Just wondering how the sports suspension of Murano SE is. Is it a little harsh? I heard that the SE's suspension is a too firm. I cannot decide between SE and SL. Your comment will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Give me a break, you can't compare a FWD, rear wheel assist vehicle, the so called AWD, with a 4 wheel drive. When you get stuck in snow or mud and a Jeep or a pathfinder pulls you out you'll understand.

What a fear-based rationale this last guy is using - depending on where you live & drive, most people do not ever get stuck in mud or snow, maybe once in a while, but you are going to buy a more expensive and less efficient vehicle based solely on that fear?

A 2wd F150 was my commuter/everyday truck awhile back. I live in Maine. I managed easily, and have only gotten stuck 2 times out of at least 15 winters. It helped that I had snow tires and weight in the back, but that's how everyone should be during the winter.
