I think this vehicle is a great crossover. It's not too big, but not too small. It's pretty luxurious for it's price as well. It drives very smooth and is comfortable. As far as gas goes, it's pretty average. It's not a gas guzzler. It has all the bells and whistles that other luxury cross-overs have, such as heated seats, power windows, sunroof, blue-tooth and back up camera. It also has keyless entry and push to start. That comes in handy when you are shopping or running errands, you don't have to fumble around looking for keys. As the Murano gets older though, it does have some noises and creeks. It sometimes sounds like the springs are loose on some seats. My only other complaint is that the tires (like most new cars) are only for 30,000 miles. So after three years you need to replace and that definitely gets expensive. All and all, I think you get a lot of bang for your buck with the Murano. I would recommend this car to anyone.
