We bought an SV front wheel drive, and traded in a 2005 Toyota Matrix. With about 3000 miles on it, we've been very impressed. The interior is very upscale, with excellent fit and finish. Motor is very strong. One it's best traits is one of the worst in other vehicles: the CVT transmission. In most other vehicles I've driven with a CVT, the engine drones and the vehicle is sluggish. Not so the Murano! The drivetrain is quiet and this thing takes off! Plenty of room. We love the tilt back rear seats and dual sunroof. Gas mileage has been 25-27 highway.
Comfortable and Elegant...

I purchased a 2012 SL AWD in December 2011. I now have a little over 3 months on the vehicle and I'm very pleased. The vehicle is comfortable, powerful, and the CVT is extremely smooth. Fit and finish is very good, and the utility of the vehicle is much better than my 2005 Maxima.
Extremely bad mileage car!

Don't have a hope that the car will give you 18-23 mpg city/highway! In fact, it may be way below fine printed 14-20 mpg. I was unlucky to by Nissan Murano S AWD 2012 in July 2012. The car makes only 11-13 miles per gallon even if I drive very smoothly. It is bad in city and bad on highway. Checked with the service in the dealership - they found nothing wrong with the car. Third time the service director took the car on the series of test drives and measured the mileage himself. Not looking at the cluster display but actually running the car, measuring miles, topping the fuel and calculating the mileage. The numbers went out the same: 11-13 mpg. Nissan doesn't want to take the car back!
Nice but is slowly getting expensive to fix!!

Great handling car with plenty of engine power to get up steep hills without a sweat! However, stereo unit is starting to show glitches like the volume button turning up the volume when trying to turn it down sometimes and goes the opposite sometimes as well. Also the usb hook up sometimes gets fussy with the flashdrive and I've had to re- attach the flashdrive or even restart the engine to get it to work before a long trip. Worst of all, the dealer says aftermarket stereos won't work with this car since the A/C controls won't work without the original stereo which will cost around $2,000 to replace (price and labor). I didn't know I was buying a luxury car (like the Infiniti version)! Cargo space could also be improved as well as a defroster that doesn't allow air to recirculate inside while defrosting windshield so outside exhaust and other awful smells always comes in and the rear air ducts hardly work. This is a nice overall car with many features still offered for the money with cloth seats (like dual zone air, power driver/passenger seats, dual moonroof, and backup monitor) but expect to pay for some pricey repairs without a warranty (and those wonderful extended warranties that still don't cover everything)! And even though it has a sporty look, don't expect it to accelerate as well as it looks because on the highway it doesn't downshift good enough for instant passing power. I'm 5 foot 8 and this car feels right to me while driving but my mom who is shorter than me has a hard time behind the wheel while trying to reach the gas/brake pedals. Also miss cupholders in the doors (like my 2008 Hyundai Tuscon had) Definitely an average to tall persons car who are either single or a small family.

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!
