We've only had it a month so I can't comment on reliability, but other reviews seem to have been spot on. Very comfortable, enough power, decent mpg and nice to look at. They seemed to have gotten the CVT figured out, it's not offensive, which is high praise because until this one I've had no use for them. If you tow things, go mudding or want a sports car in SUV clothing this isn't it. If you're an empty nester and need to haul your stuff around on trips this is as good as it gets. Let me mention again - this car is really comfortable. The computer interface is well done, it's intuitive and easy to use. The interior materials are very nice and the layout is spacious. I really like the motor, it's got plenty of power and uses regular gas. I don't have much use for twin turbo 4's that need premium which are what the majority of its competitors are doing. All in all we're very happy with this car, if you need an SUV and want a comfort cruiser this is definitely worth a look. Well its been 2 years and everything I mentioned previously is still true. No problems, good gas mileage and you can spend all day driving it ant you won't be beat up when you're done. Really an outstanding traveling car. We're now a little over 3 years in and still no problems with this car. Get 30+ mpg at 75 mph on trips and just really comfortable to drive long distances. One thing I've come to appreciate are their outside cameras, they do an overhead view that's really helpful.

Pros: S version finally is not lacking on options and standard features. I have NAV option and it's great for the money. S w/ NAV is about $1200 or so cheaper than SV. Great ride; super comfy seats; great electronics and easy to use; lots of space for passengers; good gas mileage: 18 city, 26 HWY real world - 1500 miles so far Cons: Blind spot is an issue but not as bad as it seems; gas mileage in city is not close to sticker; towing figures are laughable... you could easily tow 3500 lbs as it's the same engine and trans as the Pathfinder. I towed a 18ft ski boat easily with my old 2003 Murano. the only issue with towing is the hitch sits really low which is probably one of the reasons why it's not recommended. I recently towed a jet ski 550 miles each way and on mostly flat surfaces with little wind got 23 mpg at 74mph average. On a recent 100 mile trip gas mileage climbed to 26mpg at 80 mph. Overall this SUV is fantastic for the price. Nissan discounts these so dramatically that it's by far the best SUV for the money.

I was shopping a car for myself a year ago and accidently came across Murano which was even on my radar screen before that day. I was so attracted by the comfort and finish of the interior / seats that I made a kind of rush decision and bought Murano instead. The car has run smooth for 18,000 miles and comfortable like piloting a spaceship, but for a year, I have had a kind of regret for my rush decision not my original plan. I am shopping a car for wife now and test drove a BMW 535 xDrive (my wife's choice). I was so surprised when I set in the BMW. The sale person saw the surprise on my face and mistaken that I was awed by BMW. I was actually stunned by how primitive and noise its interior feels and how cumbersome its controls ( not touch screen??). If this is what BMW can offer, I am very happy with my Murano now, Finally, A year later.

This is my second Murano. They are extremely comfortable and I would include it as a luxury vehicle. Getting in and out is so easy if you have a bad back such as I do, and I love the captain bucket chairs! The Bluetooth is much improved since my 2009 LE. It is much more comfortable than the Lexus. There are really only a couple of improvements that I would suggest. The safety warning signals could be a little louder and the around town gas mileage is not very good but great on the highway. I would not consider any other SUV in this price range as it is superior to all others. Just a couple of other cons cons. One is that there are a couple of blind spots in the vehicle. Because of the beautiful styling the view looking to the passenger side can be obstructed so you have to get used to that. The other obstructed view is out the rear window. I took the headrests out of my back seats to help with this. When you do your test drive you should make sure you can handle that. Also, the sound controls on the steering wheel are hard to use while driving but the dials are so conveniently placed that I wouldn't worry about that. It should also be noted that text messaging only supports android phones and is not compatible with an iphone thus I only gave technology 4 stars. The heater also takes a long time to heat up.
