Used 2014 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet Consumer Reviews

Fun car for the young

This car isn't for older drivers. The backseat is very difficult to get into for passengers and the doors are heavy and of course, it sits high. You will also get some top and cowl rattle If you can get passed the above, then this is the car for you. Its fun It looks nice It rides very nice. Life is good with the top down in this car. I have had mine for several thousand miles and love it! It rides great and the leather feels even better. It hasn't leaked a drop even in heavy rain. It's a lot of fun and the luxurious interior is a step up for me having come from Honda. The GPS isn't all that great but nice to have with the large touch screen

I think critics are crazy

I was intrigued to find a family man's convertible but I was discouraged by the critics reviews. I decided to go look at it and drive it for myself. I loved it! It was responsive, roomy (for a convertible) and completely loaded. So I bought it! My MPG's have been about 22. I love the tan leather and the seats are extremely comfortable.

So Glad I Purchased It!

As some reviewers have commented across other websites, you either love this car or hate it. After driving it for some 6 months and 12,000 miles, and having made multiple 400 mile trips through both snow and through 100F heat, I absolutely love this car! There are not many AWD convertibles out there, and while it was never meant to be a sports car, this crossover has been everything I could have wanted in an AWD convertible for taking long trips over mountains. The build quality is excellent and I have not experienced any of the difficulties (handling, door weight, etc.) noted in other reviews I read before purchasing. And get used to compliments from truckers and teenagers. It's non stop!

I'm Not Disappointed But ....

I traded in an SUV and a hard top convertible in the hopes I would be able to have just one car that had the attributes of both. This does, for the most part. As others say, it's either love it or hate it. It clearly is a looker and folks either think its cool or ugly. It's definitely not a performance vehicle, but it doesn't claim to be. It's a very heavy vehicle and back seat access can be a pain, but the good seems to outweigh the bad, so far. It has memory seating so if you set your preferences, it will revert back with a touch of a button. The nav and leather upgraded interior is lovely and comfortable and to me, the only downside is that it requires premium petrol.

A Perfect Choice

I have been searching for a car that would fill my needs for AWD but have a fun factor, have been driving a full sized SUV for years and was craving a sporty fun car..our climate tho requires AWD..really loved the idea of this cross cabriolet..was fun to drive in test drive, was roomy enough, sat up a little higher..had AWD..and i like that not everyone has one! but some online reviews had me a little concerned. well...I have had it for a month, and i adore it, was the perfect choice, i have no complaints at all, its really fun, looks cool, different and not common to see lots of them..all things i like.

Love it! Now own 2!

We bought our 2011 in July of 2012 and absolutely love it! We live in Anchorage Alaska where we normally have beautiful summers that are perfect for top down weather and cold winters. The convertible top on this car keeps out the cold weather in the winter plus the AWD is just what the doctor ordered for up here. A few times we would have the drivers window freeze and stick to the top if they had gotten wet. Other wise everthing else worked with no problems. We now own 2 of them, the 2011 is now mine and my wife has a new 2014 model!

Reviewers just don't get it....

Ok, we have all seen the negative reviews. Actually, one negative review copied by a lot of others...that obviously, never drove the car!! This car is one of the GREAT ONES! It has every creature comfort, plenty of power, a great roadster look, ease of entry, great roominess in the comfortable back seats, and has led to one GREAT SUMMER OF FUN. At this time, you won't see many on the road because that one reviewer scared the masses, but he will be made to look as stupid as those that dissed on the MUSTANG and the CORVETTE when they first came public. We know how that turned out! Kudos to ...and anyone that thinks this looks like a jeep..get GLASSES. ;)) Five Stars from CT!!!

Awesome Car

I purchased my vehicle about 4 days ago and I am loving every minute of it. It defenitly turns heads and I get compliments galore. I luv riding with my top down enjoying the breeze and openess getting plenty of Florida sunshine on me. I got all the bells and whistles so far my favorite is the bluetooth audio streaming now I can listen to all my favorite songs....lol...I got a great deal on my vehicle through my insurance company I saved over $10,000.00 no kidding so this was a steal for me. I wanted to purchase this on my 50th bday but couldn't afford it but now i'm the happiest i've ever been in a vehicle.

Very impressed

So I bought the CrossCab as a quarter-life-crisis car. I live in central WI and this makes a great summer and winter driver (keeping my Volvo C30 as my every day chaser). I'm very impressed with the feel and preformance of this car, and the room! I read the 3 reviews on Edmunds for the 2011 and I was a bit nervous. The main complaints seemed to be: wind noise (umm... its a convertible), heavy doors (very typical of a coupe... especially in an suv package), windshield vibration (haven't experienced this), and rear visability with the top up (yes... this was one that bummed me out, but it wasn't as bad as I thought when I went on the test drive). If you like it, give it a shot. Its nice

WOW,What is That?,I never seen one before!!

Be prepared for spontaneous conversations at Gas pumps and Parking lots, which I enjoy. Slow to take off, but peppy on Hwy,20 miles to gal, Con variable trans(CVT) had som probs prior ,so Nissan extended Warranty to 120K from 60k. Went into Limp mode cause of bad Battery once, I did not like that,but it is to protect you and vehicle. Feels safe in rain and snow,partly because of heavy weight(cont is heavier) and AWD.Great for Larger and/or Taller person for getting in and out of.Sad that Nissan stopped making,but thank you Nissan. Def will be a collectors item.

It ain’t no sports car

And that is ok because I was not expecting it to be. I wanted a rag top that sat up high and let me feel safer in traffic. It is really is comfortable to ride in and drive but it is not great on the acceleration end and a bit soft on the front end. Great car to round around the city and freeway but not great in the mountains and tight turning highways. Has been what I was expecting.

Owned 2 Cross Cabs---I'm 6'7" and am comfortable!!

Not for everyone. Fun to drive-- a tall man's sports car. Fun to drive, gets plenty of great, positive comments. Best vehicle I have owned. Definitely not a good vehicle for a young family with small children.

Surprised

Much to my surprise..... I purchased as a surprise for my wife. She had seen one and loved it, the look of it anyway.... TOP DOWN is exceptional! comfortable, firm, solid and actually luxurious for a Nissan. Top up, different story. BLIND SPOTS are very bad! Poor design on the rear window. To remedy this I added magnifier mirrors on both sides to help correct the blind side problem. My wife LOVES her car and it is the only one she drives! (she has choices)

Classy

My husband surprised me with a 2014 pearl white with a camel tone Nissan Cabriolet. My granddaughters and I loved the car. It was such a head turner. There was only two in our area. One morning when taking my granddaughter to school, I pulled out in front of a pick up. Needless to say the safety features on the car did its job. My granddaughter had a small bruise on her hip. She had an air bad in front to the side and behind her release. The airbag in the steering wheel came out with force hitting me in the chest causing me trying to catch my breath. The only bruises I had was where the seat belt came across my chest. The insurance told me it would cost to much to repair and would have a salvage title. Someone in our area fixed it up and are driving it. Every time I see it I get angry and want to cry. I feel like I was lied to about fixing it. My husband replaced it with a 2012 S RX Cadillac. I have tried to like it but do not like the hesitation it has when you step on the gas. It is like driving a truck. My Cabriolet was as smooth as butter. I always said it had squirrels in a cage that kept going without hesitation. I LOVED that car.

Oh we LOVE IT!

People come up to us daily and just love our car. So much so that I contacted Nissan to give them some positive feedback and questioned why they stopped manufacturing this vehicle in 2014 as they are missing a huge opportunity for "baby boomers"!

Fantastic all season car

I have had my 2011 Murano Crosscabriolet for 2 1/2 years, and 40,000 miles later I absolutely love it. This car is an extremely fun drive with the top down. With the top up, road noise is better than other convertibles that I have owned. Yes, the rear visibility is a bit diminished, but not terrible. There is some rattle from the window, but again this is common with many convertibles. The car is very comfortable to drive on road trips, and the interior and driver interfaces are top notch. I have driven this car in all conditions, including snow, and have been happy with the performance.

Not made for cold weather states

I live in Philadelphis PA and have issues with the windows not working properly in the colder weather. The windows freeze and do not drop when opening and closing the doors. Therefore I need to start my car for at least 20 minutes in order to close my doors correctly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and unfortunately I was told there was noting they could do. In conversation I had brought up an auto start, the associate agreed but the dealer does not install auto start and of course would be an expense I would be responsible for. So needless to say I am not happy with my purchase in regards to this issue.

love my murano Cabriolet

I bought my cabriolet after researching convertibles due to the fact i wanted something different. Its awesome like riding in a chariot.When people sit in the back seat they love it ,as they are so hi up!!!!

Convertible with out the top down

Convertible with out the top down Overall I love this car. It is been very reliable and comfortable transportation. However as soon as the warranty expired the convertible top stopped working. The dealer laughed at me when they told me it would cost $13000 lto fix. I feel stuck with a car that has no trade-in value. They said it was the wiring harness and the switch for the convertible top and that they had to remove the top to fix it and it might not refit and I would have to buy a whole new one.

Disappointed, frustrated and at the end of my rope

Bought in 2012. Since then nothing but issues from the first week. At the outset there were several times it would not start. Window motors and regulators have been replaced; ignition starter; computer; electrical harness; passenger seat more than once; convertible top - nothing but problems - it is in again right now needing another new tray - best part is how long it will take to get the parts - months. I am a Canadian who bought a US vehicle at Cdn dealer and that means my only recourse is to sue. I would love to hear from anyone else with any issues with this type of vehicle.

I lasted 3 weeks before trading it in!

I lasted 3 weeks, then finaly decided that I was getting rid of this car. I was transfixed by the idea of having a true four passenger convertible and I ignored all of the cars faults on the sunny day that I purchased the car. I traded the car in after 3 weeks on a luxury SUV. To say that the car handles poorly is a gross understatement. The car needs to take even relatively tame corners at mild speeds and still the front wind shield would reverberate. The car is roomy for passengers one inside, but rear access is difficult. The front seat releases each have significant issues. The driver's side is power and too slow. The passenger side is manual, but is very unreliable.

There are haters and then lovers

I admit it is strange looking I traded my Mercedes Benz e400 convertible for this and I love it . It’s quiet smooth comfortable and easy on the knees no convertible is practical but this one is unique and I’m just in love with it

Traded in!

I have to totally agree with the previous review! I lasted a month and a half and traded it in, and took a bath on it. It was worth it though to get out of it! I traded it in on a 2012 Nissan Murano hardtop and love it.

NOT the ugliest car of the year

When the 2011 Cabriolet came out, it garnered horrible reviews. I have watched this different machine through 3 years of a boring lease on another foreign SUV all the time waiting until I could try the Murano Cabriolet. I am now proudly driving my beautiful comfortable 2014 Murano Cabriolet and getting comments like: "Wow, what is it!" "Looks like an SUV on steroids." "Did you sell your house to buy that gorgeous thing?" Easy comfort for 4 people with all the bells and whistles. And, most important, for us old codgers, easy in-and-out which ALL the other convertibles I tried were not. This will probably be my last car purchase and I am sure I will love it for years to come.

This car saved me in a traffic accident

I was a little skeptical when we purchased Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet in 2011. It became nothing less than a pleasant experience for 12 years: powerful AWD, fast accelerating, spacious and luxurious interior, smooth ride, fun to drive. Then I've got in an accident, someone hit me in Florida. The car turned out to be sturdy but flexible and protected me, more over it survived the crash like a tank. The exterior of 2011 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet is built with metal sheets unlikely many other cars on the market. I wish I were able to buy it again!

Sporty

Very cute and different for a suv

Yfc

The Nissan Murano convertible is a great car

Vaccine is very much inaccessible. I had a really hard time getting my briefcase back there.I usually don’t have that much trouble getting my sons car seat I and out of my 2001 Chrysler Sebring. As far as leg room and getting I and out it’s smooth plenty of room. A well designed car with plenty of room. But I see why Nissan couldn’t make a go wit it.
