LE Platinum Is Good But Worth $40,000?

I came from a BMW 3-series so this is a complete change of vehicle for me. I do like the car. I like how it rides and handles. Love the interior design and the high-end accessories like the heated seats and steering wheel. The Nav is like any other as is the bluetooth so it's fine. Rear camera is actually nice once you get used to it. It does help. In all, it's a very nice SUV. I think the brakes could use an upgrade to help it stop faster. I think the gas mileage could be better. I'm HOPING that it's more reliable than my BMW. That's why I bought it. Nissan vs BMW reliability. I can deal with the other stuff I suppose as long as its reliable. I was gonna' spend $40K either way on a car.

LOVING my first SUV

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!

CVT transmissions are crap

I really liked the vehicle for it's power, handling, and style. Unfortunately, the transmission went out at 117k miles and the cost to repair was $6,400! What some bs... Nissan suggested that the probable reason was due to the previous owner not changing the trans fluid every 30k miles.

I'm on my 3rd Nissan Murano & I don't know what the company can do to add any more features. Been driving Nissans since they were Datsuns & they have always been reliable, comfortable vehicles. The Murano is stylish, reliable and I've enjoyed traveling on the roads with it. I have since had a 2018 with all the bells & whistles but I think I've enjoyed the timeless style and comfort of the 2012 more!
