Having Lots of Fun

So far its been pretty perfect. Our other vehicle is feeling lonesome as we tend to drive the Murano for most non-cargo trips. Vehicle takes a little time to get used too - especially when parking, but that may be because we are used to a larger, higher-standing SUV; once you figure out when/where how to maneuver everything is good. Safety features - included blind-spot detection, all-around camera views are great, but our favorite so far is the distance-sensing cruise control as it lets us pay more attention to the crazy vehicles than to the speedometer. Cargo area is pretty good for most standard things - shopping for groceries for example, and rear seats can be easily lowered (and stood up) when necessary. No that it really matters, but this car has the largest glove compartment we have ever seen and we sometimes have to really look to find an object we have placed in their.

Best Looking Murano Platinum I have ever seen!

I traded in a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder with only 20,000 miles on it for this vehicle. I just love it. It is beautiful, has all the bells and whistles, and I am very pleased with it. This is my third Murano, and the one I love the best. It will brake for me, let me know what is in my blind spot, and let me know if I cross the line and am partly in another lane. It has all-around cameras, and everything I would want in a vehicle. I think I will hold on this one for a while. After having this vehicle for 8 months, I am still in love with it. Except for the gas mileage, it has everything I want in a vehicle. If Nissan would improve the gas mileage, I would get another one asap!

This is my 4th Murano and each one is an improvement over the last one and I am extremely pleased with this. The 2016 replaced my 2014 which I loved and intended to keep for a long time but when an out of state driver plowed into me it totaled it but I was fine inside so I am very happy with it's "crash response" . I promptly went out and purchased the 2016 and have been very happy with it....so comfortable, plenty of space for cargo and friends-- can not recommend this vehicle enough...I also have a GLK350 which is nice but this has more space and honestly more "gadgets which I love and you can not beat the value. I am so pleased with the Murano I gave my son the Mercedes both are excellent cars but for me I prefer the Murano

Luxury without the luxury nameplate

We were planning to get a compact SUV and looking at the Toyota RAV 4, Mazda CX5 and Honda CRV. My wife has a bad back, so we put a premium on her comfort. We went to an auto mall with all 3 dealerships and she sat in all 3 cars and deemed the CRV the most comfortable. They all drove well. As we were leaving, we decided to stop at the Nissan dealer as we had heard about the zero gravity seats in the Murano. She sat in one and the decision was made. The pros were seat comfort, more interior room, better color choices and combinations, luxurious interior that rivals the luxury brands and nice exterior styling. The cons were about $8K more expensive, lower gas mileage, little extra cargo room over the CRV considering how much bigger the vehicle is, leg room could be a bit longer.

My husband and I bough a brand new 2016 Nissan Murano hybrid PLATINUM edition with every single bell and whistle they offered on 1-31-2016. About a week after owning the vehicle I was driving and started to smell a burning smell. Soon after there was a loud electronic warning noise that was constant but there were no warnings anywhere on the screens as to what it might have been. I pulled over and turned the car off and then back on and it didn't return. When I took it in the dealership they tried to recreate the issue for three days but couldn't, so I had to leave without any answers. The next week my husbands commuter car wouldn't turn on so he had to jump start his car. I then had to take it in again because my husband was able to get the hood latched but it wouldn't close all the way. Luckily they were able to fix that problem. Here I am 2 1/2 month down the road (still under 1000 miles) and today I had the same constant electric warning noise and burning smell with once again, no warning signs to what it could even be. Luckily it happened twice today and my husband remembered to take a video of it so I will be able to show the dealership so they don't thing I am crazy. (Last time they tried to ask me if it could have been the eco hybrid mode shifting. They treated me like I was making things up. I am a woman and I don't know that much about cars but that sound and smell is not normal and anyone that would experience that would know that. Plus, my husband was with me two of the three times it happened and he is VERY knowledgeable with cars and has no idea what it could be.) On top of that, it says I'm supposed to get an average of 28mpg city and half of my miles have been on the freeway yet my average MPG is always around 17 MPG. I'm by no means the most fuel efficient driver ever, however, I also don't slam on the gas or speed around. I have a newborn with me 98% of the time so I'm a very cautious driver. What is the point of paying more for a hybrid if it doesn't actually give you better gas mileage. I paid top dollar for a fully loaded vehicle so I could feel safe with my family in this car and so far it's UNFORTUNATELY been nothing but a headache. I love everything else about it. It's comfortable, the tech package is fantastic and it looks amazing. However, thise issues are some HUGE deal breakers. We normally purchase from Infiniti and now in regretting using their sister company. The service and the vehicle has been so much less than what we are used to and expect. I normally don't write reviews unless I have a superior experience or a horrible experience. People need to know about these issues. Especially because this is such a new car that there really isn't anything online about it. I'm really hoping that I'm the only one. Other than that, the car is beautiful and comfortable. I'm hopeful that they can figure out what is wrong because I want to love this car.
