2007 Nissan Murano - It's fun to drive, but does not have a good take off speed.
It's very spacious and comfortable. They ride of the car is very smooth and it has a great sound system. I like the fact that the gas and break pedals move back and forth to meet my height instead of having to move my seat closer to the steering wheel. As far as performance it does not have good take off speed and it has a hard time getting up hills. I also like that is has east access steering wheel controls. I was also impressed with the miles I get out of my gas, even though it says I get about 16 mpg it actually goes a little further than that and does not take much to fill up. It also has great control and traction.
Story
I went to Daytona Beach for vacation and they have a drive on beach which is when I learned they car has all wheel drive and I enjoyed driving through the sand with ease.
Pros
I love the spaciousness. It's midsize but big enough for me to carry large items by just folding the backseats completely down. I also like that the door compartment's come out to allow for a larger space to store my stuff that may be bulky. The body shape of it is unique and one of its own. I know this may sound odd but I like that they put a decent grade of floor carpeting in it, that actually allows for the dirt to come out of it rather than just rolling around on the floor when trying to vacuum. I'm also glad everything is automatic.
Cons
I don't like that there is only one keyhole entrance on the driver side, so I always have to walk on that side to access it. I also for some reason do not like the flat shape of the dash board. The digital screen is very basic and I believe should have more features. I also do not like the shape of the whole radio and the position it sits in.
2007 Nissan Murano - Acceptable family vehicle.
We were very excited to buy our Nissan Murano. Our family had only 3 members so it was a perfect fit. We've taken it across many states and its performed well but it has had its problems along the way. Overall we are satisfied with our purchase but I would not personally recommend it someone else. There were issues within the first year that had to be address by the manufacturer, recall issues. They paid the bill for these fixes but my wife was stranded in the freeway when they started acting up.
Story
The weekend we bought this Murano, we took it for a trip to Palm Springs (a very hot, around 115 degree desert). It ran great and kept us super cool in the desert heat. That was one memorable experience with this car.
Pros
At first, going from a long time V4 car, you could feel the power of the V6 when accelerating. It handled very well, to be expected from these sporty looking SUVs. Fuel economy was very good.
Cons
I believe the first thing that went wrong with it was the air intake portion of it. The car seemed to just stall in the middle of the road. We took it to the dealership and they told us it was a common issue with these models and they replaced it for free, not before my wife had to suffer being stranded in the freeway with it. It's prone to leaks. Twice its leaked oil from two different locations and I just recently had to put a new radiator because there was a huge crack in it.
