Sweet Silver Murano

Edmunds Price Promise is the way to go removes haggling quite a bit but some negotiating still for dealer add-on's. The visibility to judge the front corners of the vehicle is poor due to the styling humps in the front hood. Love everything else about the Murano styling is great and feels like it will remain relevant for years! This has to be one of the best value for what you get in a mid size SUV bar none.

Likely my last Nissan

While the Murano is a good, basic SUV, likely my last Nissan. Both of my Murano's, this one included, had to have the transmission replaced. While done under warranty, never seemed to work as it did previously. Had multiple fit and finish issues Nissan refused to work with me on. An example was the tires that needed to be replaced at 12,000 miles. Also had several small plastic interior trim pieces break over first 18 months. Replaced by Nisson but annoying. Local dealership referred me to corporate who kept saying the issue was created by how I maintained the car. I checked the tire pressure each week so not the problem's cause. While 4 of my past 5 vehicles have been Nissans, this was likely my last. Too many better options out there.

Only had the car about 5 weeks and the only complaint so far is that after you have dropped the rear seats for cargo or dog space, they return by motors. The problem is that the headrest will not permit them to come back up without moving the front seat backs or the whole front seat. I called the dealer and they said it was just the way it was manufactured and we could remove the rear headrest. Not. They are hard to straighten manually (I assume because of the motors).

Good SUV, but not perfect

Comfortable, fun to drive and good technology. It’s a shame you can’t upgrade the sound system with a software update now that they have Apple/Samsung functions in the new model. The only issues I have had is first that the fuel economy for the hybrid model isn’t as good as I expected and second that I have had issues with the rear power hatch. The hatch issue is a known problem for this model and there isn’t an easy way to override the system for manual use without climbing into the trunk and manually releasing the latch every time you need to open it. Poorly designed, but luckily I was able to have mine repaired under the manufacturers warranty. It is likely to fail again however as noted by others who have had the auto hatch fail multiple times (if not covered, the repair was going to cost over $1100).

I have had my Murano less than a week and I applaud NIssan for a well put together vehicle!! I am enjoying every driving opportunity! This stylish SUV handles very well! In addition, the Boise sound system is positioned well to produces a high quality sound! I think you will be impress with the 2016 Murano!
