We bought a 2012 Murano SL (FWD) 3 months ago and it delivers just about everything we wanted the vehicle for. It has great acceleration with 260 HP and pretty good handling. The interior is very nice and upscale. We both like the styling of the vehicle because it does not look like every other SUV on the road and we both pretty much have not found anything we don't like about the 2012 Murano. We got a great price as compared to how much it cost when new and we saved roughly $20,000 purchasing the vehicle for $17,000 as apposed to it's new $37,000 price!

After driving several Crossovers like a Buick Enclave, GMC Terrain and a few others we drove this and loved it. It has a great response and handling and the interior is well put together, fun and sophisticated. It has a lot of technology built in it and it is all user friendly too. Strong engine and we look forward to having a lot of fun in it for a long time

LOVING my first SUV

2012 Nissan Murano LE 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

As my kids got bigger I knew my 8 year-old 2-door Solara convertible needed to be replaced. I was looking at the Toyota Venza and Nissan Murano and felt on the major specs, they were very similar. The Murano's luxurious interior was what sealed the deal for me. I got the LE with the Platinum package and while it's not as fun to drive as a 2-door sports car, it does just fine on highways and locally in terms of acceleration, cruising, and stopping. It feels SOLID with no shake as trucks whoosh by me. The kids LOVE all the room and the well placed rear vents. Husband loves the toys!

92,000 miles and runs well

Seven years and almost 92000 miles the car continues to run well with fairly low maintenance cost. Driver's seat not all that comfortable on long tips. Minor annoyance is road noise at interstate speeds. Gave up on the dealership long ago, their bottom line, not the customer, comes first. Dealership changed hands and attempted to contact new owner, with feedback on my experiences, but manager never returned my email. Overall though, a very satisfactory car.

2012 SL AWD with Navigation

I really enjoy the ride of this car. We went to upstate NY in a snow storm and the car did very well. Overall driving is very smooth. I miss the additional power my Maxima had eventhough they share the same engine.
