Have owned my 2018 Murano SL for 6 years. Overall my wife and I love it. The front seats are very comfortable and adjust easily. Makes a 5 or 6 hour drive effortless. The interior is well finished and has a high end feel. Back seat is roomy and a plus is that the back seats partially recline. Leg room both front/back is generous. We have a 400 pound friend who gets into the front seat easily and says that it is a comfortable ride. Exterior styling is unique, which we like, sets the car off from the run of the mill SUV. Cargo space is adequate for our family. Rear/side vision is a bit limited but blind spot warning, and the 360 camera system make up for it. The vehicle handles well with good acceleration. Overall we really enjoy the Murano.

We owned a 2016 Cadillac SUV Luxury Edition. Our Nissan Murano SL has so many more features that our Cadillac did not have and we have gotten so much more with our Nissan Murano for less money. Better gas mileage, intelligent navigation, lane departure warning, awesome styling, and all-around camera for parking with forward and side view cameras. I could go on and on. We love the Murano.

This is my second Murano, I drove the last one for 12 years, still ran great. First off let me start by saying that I don't understand the Edmunds review. They praise almost everything about the car ie….. comfort, interior, styling then give it three stars? This is a major upgrade over my previous Murano. The interior is better than what I have seen in luxury models. It may not drive like a sports car which is one of the critiques from Edmunds. It's not a sports car, it's an SUV designed for comfort. If I wanted something that rattled every time I hit a bump in the road I would have bought a sports car. I am very happy with my purchase and would definately buy another one. I think that's the highest praise you can give a vehicle.

I owned my first Murano for 7 yrs, 145,000 miles. I liked it so much I bought another. This one has many more electronics. The front seats are much more comfortable. I am getting better mileage than the older model. The turning radius is wide. It was the same on former model. Just something to get used to.

I had a 2013 Cadillac SRX - had a lot of trouble with it from 40,000 miles to 70,000 miles - will NEVER purchase another one. So I researched all the SUVs - hated the same old rounded body style and the mini van backs of the Durango, equinox, etc. Finally decided on a 2018 Nissan Murano and I am just blown away - it is the most BEAUTIFUL SUV I have ever seen, driven, experienced. It's roomy, classy, quiet, comfy soft seats, such a great price... and the gadgets and technology just blows me away. Safety features are really amazing also. The only thing it doesn't do is make me a sandwich while I am driving down the road ! ha Maybe that will come standard with my next Nissan Murano.

I own a 2018 Nissan Murano Midnight Edition. This edition has all the options available but I did not want the moon-roof option. (Didn't care for it). Once you shut the door and sit in the drivers seat, you are shut off from the outside. It is extremely quiet inside the suv and drive noise is very minimal. First thing you will notice is the quality of the interior which Nissan put soft leather on everything. It adds a level of luxury that you see in high end suv's. I did test drive a Lexus RX and enjoyed the drive but ABSOLUTELY DISLIKED the interior setup. I loved how Nissan set up the interior electronics compared to the Lexus RX. It's ease of use and navigation of your buttons is perfect! I commend Nissan for this user friendly way of control. (Lexus, gives you a mouse to use for navigating your display) Yes you heard me correct!!! LOL. Not to mention the Murano's Exterior design is superior and has a look of moving when standing still! The drive is also very responsive with 260 HP and 0-60 in 7 ish seconds. I have the AWD version and I will never go back to rear or front wheel drive only. Fantastic handling in snow and raining/muddy conditions with 21/28 city/highway mpg. I also enjoy the 11 bose speaker sound system and the sound in the vehicle is great if you are listening to high treble type music, but if you enjoy low bass type of music it misses the mark a bit. In addition, I am particular over the headlights in any car and purchased very bright LED (Low-Beams) so I can see the road better. Overall, I absolutely love my Murano with the options Nissan provides at a very affordable cost!

Granted, I've only had it one month but it's already my favorite. I have the SL with panoramic sunroof. Pluses include a unique (dare I say sexy?) exterior, incredible interior - plush and stylish with excellent and very comfy seats, above avg MPG for a V6 SUV, good acceleration, an amazing all-around view camera system, built in navigation, tons of electronics, and a good safety suite. I especially like the blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control. It also has plus handling for this sized vehicle. The not so good? A Bose sound system with 11 speakers and 2 subwoofers? Ya whatever. My last vehicle with a "standard" audio system was far better. I don't get how it can't be better than it is, but it's a very average sound system. The sound system needs a lot of work. I'd like to have more storage when the back seats are up, but hey we can't have it all. I'd also like to see some hidden storage underneath the rear floor. And it's definitely not a towing vehicle. If you have a large boat or trailer, look elsewhere. This is a car in SUV clothing. Lastly, my Murano always feels like the wheels are out of balance. I took it back to the dealer after one week of owning it - they re-balanced the wheels which made a slight improvement but I get more vibration at highway speed than I'd expect in a brand new vehicle. At this point, I feel like it's the tires. They are Michelin's which is a good brand but it's really the only thing I can think of. My last vehicle (a sedan) had Michelin's and it rode like a dream but it could be these are the very low end of their line. None of the above complaints deter me from highly recommending this vehicle! If you want a very classy, upscale near luxury SUV at a bargain price compared to Lexus or Caddy - look no further! ** 2 year update. My Murano is still going strong. Actually it's better. The vibration I described worked itself out. I re-tuned the stereo and it's actually a pretty good sound system. I think SUV's have some limitations but all in all, this is a nice, well-balanced sound system. It sounds best at higher volumes. I've not had a single issue with the car after two years and I love it even more now than I did then. Great vehicle and I'll keep it for a long time to come! ** 2.5 year update: Still love my Murano! No mechanical or other issues of any kind. Routine maintenance only. Yes, there are certain limitations as noted such as lack of towing ability. Only slight disappointment is that I don't get the MPG that is advertised, but it's not horrible either and all in all - I continue to love my Murano and can highly recommend it! 3 Year update - Still love my Murano. No major changes to my overall recommendation. I did just have to change out brake pads in the summer of 2021 on the rear brakes at 30,000 miles which is ridiculous imo. Other than that minor quibble, everything else still works great. Minimal issues overall - zero mechanical problems and runs great. Comfy as ever and looking forward to many more miles ahead. 4 year update: Paid my Murano off own this beauty free and clear, and still loving it. No mechanical issues to speak off. Minor quibbles are gas mileage is slightly disappointing, and there is a lack of storage space in the front of the cabin. That said, there is so much to like about this car - most of which has already been posted so won't go over again. I plan to keep this beauty for many more miles. Still highly recommend! 6 year update: Still as strong as ever. Still love it. Zero plans to sell or trade this beauty in. Two small dings (understanding it's now 6 years old) It has developed a minor tear in the leather on the driver's seat. And the front headlight lenses are getting cloudy. I'll look into remedies for both. Zero mechanical issues, runs like a top, and outside of a rear brake job, I've only ever done oil/filter changes for the life of the vehicle. I'm sure that will change at some point, but great car. No regrets whatsoever! 6.5 year update: No changes. All is well. Car runs like a top. Enjoying no payment and no breakdowns or other significant concerns. She's aging very gracefully. No plans to sell.

2018 Nissan Murano Platinum 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
34 of 35 people found this review helpful
My wife said it was getting harder & harder to steer her 2011 Lincoln MKX (due to shoulder injury), which replaced a 2007 Lexus RX350. We test drove a Murano & it had effortless steering. It has better styling than the RX (IMO). The current Lexus styling looks too angular and the front end looks like a "cow catcher" on a Transformer or Gobot. The Murano is WAY less in price and the Platinum model has everything but a microwave! It handles like a sports car, has very comfortable seats, great driver assist features, intelligent cruise control, etc. etc. Better mileage than either the RX or the MKX, albeit at 260 hp vs 308 for the MKX and 275 for the RX. The voice recognition actually works (didn't on the RX) and there's no "mouse" for navigating the main menu. There are knobs & buttons instead of "sliders" for climate and volume control. My only concern is the CVT, which shifts smoothly and has a "manual" mode for downshifting on hills, etc, but with proper maintenance should be ok. I wouldn't tow anything, but there is a package for that. Stock wheels look like the blade from a Skil saw, but there's a factory option for 20" polished alloys, as well as aftermarket. We had rented a Murano on a vacation last year & I was impressed with it. Another great thing is that my wife's Murano was built in Ohio 🇺🇸. I'm so impressed with her car I have decided to offload my 2014 MKX and my own Murano! Love this vehicle! EDIT 9/5/19: The only gripe my wife has now is that the seats aren't quite as comfortable as her last two cars. To me, they're supportive and comfortable, but kind of firm, so I get her point. No, they're not your "living room sofa" plush, but they're not plywood either. Update 9/6/20: I still love my Murano. Mine's an AWD with the chrome wheels. My wife is still unhappy with the comfort of the seats in her vehicle. TBH, she doesn't drive much anymore due to a shoulder injury suffered a year ago. The main, pesky nag about both these vehicles is that they never had the "new car smell" I've come to expect with all new cars. The interior has always smelled like a cross between burnt tacos & B.O.😱 What I do to minimize it is turn the AC off before exiting the vehicle, use "odor ban"-type products, etc. We both have very low mileage and have read where they coat the CVT with something that must "burn off" over time, or there's a dead rodent in the AC ducting. I don't know, but I'm dealing with it. Have had only a "front radar sensor obstructed" on both vehicles, intermittently. Other than that, two 👍🏻👍🏻

My second Murano and even better than the last one I had for 9 years with no major problems. The interior is very comfortable and functional. The Apple Carplay works perfectly, but it is very particular about the USB cable you use. It MUST be a made for Apple cable and it must have snug USB connection. I had a genuine Apple cable that would not work because it did not seat snugly. The ride is very nice, although a little less sporty than the Gen 2 Murano. The blind spot detection and adaptive cruise control work great. I am averaging 23.5 mpg in mixed driving, which is pretty good for a solid 6 cylinder. The Bose stereo is just ok sound wise. Everything works fine, just not a high end system if you want to play at higher volumes. Overall this is a very nice vehicle and seat 4 adults very comfortably for long trips.
What an impression for my 1st SUV

I've owned sedans my entire life but with a recent purchase of a home I started feeling I needed to get a truck or SUV to assist in the maintenance of the home. My trade was a Camry XSE V6 that I really loved. I found the Murano SL with panoramic sunroof had all the features I wanted at a very attractive price (I would have paid about the same for 2018 maxima or camry) Once I saw the vehicle and sat in it I was really surprised. It didn't drive like some big clunky truck but more like a really high end caddy. Everything was very smooth, acceleration, road noise, and this SUV ate up bumps and imperfections on the road like they didn't exist. I absolutely love the 11 speaker 2 subwoofer Bose system. with that system you wouldn't hear any road noise anyway. The cabin was amazing, I got the cashmere Leather interior and all leather surfaces were covered with a rich light beige leather that was very soft to the touch. The wood grain almost resembled a marble type appearance and was reminiscent or a modern grey/white kitchen. It looks really high end (even nicer than you see in most luxury brand SUV's. for a price barely over 30K this SUV was loaded to the hilt with every possible technology feature, cross traffic, auto cruise control, heated seats, mirrors, steering wheel (although not much demand for that in FL). After a couple hundred miles I already don't know how I lived without the 360 camera with motion sensors. It makes parking a vehicle much larger than any sedan I owned extremely easy. The cabin and seats are among the most comfortable I have ever sat in, the seats have great reviews which are well deserved. the back seats even recline (which may be common for SUV but I've never seen it). I'm still learning the voice commands, android auto, and I haven't played much with the navigator yet but I imagine I'll really enjoy using all the extra technology this vehicle has to offer. Anyway instead of missing my Camry I'm enjoying my new found passion for SUV's. Good Show Nissan!

In total honesty, I upgraded to a 2018 Nissan Murano SL from a 2004 Toyota Corolla. That's a big jump in terms of size and style. While the 2004 Corolla I owned had fantastic quality, I'm equally impressed with the quality thus far of my Murano. In addition, the ride is smooth, road noise is minimal, and the interior styling and comfort is second to none. It's one of the most comfortable cars I've ever ridden in actually. We got the cashmere leather interior that looks just phenomenal. And for its size, the fuel economy is really not bad at all. Acceleration onto the highway is good and it holds the road well. The steering wheel is not overly sensitive. While the car comes equipped with Bose speakers, and the overall entertainment system package is good, I wouldn't say that it's better than that found on other vehicles in the same class. All in all we're very happy with the car and plan on driving it for many many years to come.

... check this one out. Believe me, I drove them all, irrespective of price (save for those over $60k), and kept coming back to the Murano Platinum. There's virtually no bell or whistle that isn't included. The interior is plush, the seats incredibly comfortable, and technology is state-of-the-art, including the latest safety features. Driving it is a pleasure, with a responsive V6 that runs on regular gas. It's very quiet, and seems to glide down the road, thanks to the CVT transmission. I'm averaging around 25 mpg overall ... not bad for a vehicle its size and weight. Granted, the cargo and towing capacities aren't the best in class, but I didn't buy it to schlep or tow anything. The Platinum trim level stickers at around $43k plus T,T&T, but the recent rebates (which totaled around $6000), and a bit of negotiation brought the drive-out price under $40k. Dollar for dollar, there's nothing quite like the Murano on the road.

I researched a lot of SUV's before deciding on the Murano. The thing that grabbed my attention the most was the stylish look of the car. Its very Sexy looking and the only other SUV that looks close to it is the Lexus RX, in which I hate the front grill on that car. Everything about the Murano looks stylish and works for me. The panoramic sun roof is awesome , the ride is smooth and the CVT trans is even smoother. Lots of room in the back and trunk space. I bought the Platinum with all the bells and whistles. I feel I chose the right SUV for me. No regrets!

We've gone through a number of vehicles due to needs and demands. Still have the Odyssey we bought when the kids were playing travel hockey and currently has 170K trouble free miles, and we had a 10 Rogue SL and a 14 Rogue SL AWD fully loaded, both reliable "nice" vehicles, but the Murano is a whole new level of luxury. Ours currently has about 50K absolutely trouble free miles on it. Extremely comfortable seats, very quiet and smooth. Our daughter goes to college 17 1/2 hrs from home and the Murano makes the trip enjoyable. Love the 360 degree cameras on parking lots though the active cruise doesn't get as close to the car in front before slowing down as I'd prefer. Only during blizzard conditions or torrential downpours does the front sensor kick out and I can't use the cruise control. We generally trade every 2-4 yrs, this one is a keeper for the long haul, and my wife gets 30-31 mpg on the highway. I usually get 28 mpg, but I generally run well above the speed limit. We love the looks of the Infiniti's, but can't justify the price for the same basic vehicle. Love this SUV. Now approaching 50K miles and still runs and looks new. Solid quality. Now up to 57K and just got back from a trip to Canada, performed flawlessly and still not a single issue. 5 yrs in now and my wife will not part with this one. Still flawless and looks showroom fresh. We'll have this one well into the future. Not anything to add really, still flawless. Dependable and decent gas mileage, still very smooth and quiet.... a little to smooth and quiet, wife caught me doing 92mph, but flying past a vehicle in the right lane gave it away, not the Murano.

For anyone who has back problems, arthritis and such things, this car is extremely comfortable to get in and out of. Ride is the feel of a luxury car, not SUV feel. I was totally caught off guard when I sat in and drove this Murano Platinum. I wanted a Honda Pilot but it was too high for me (I am 5'9" previous back surgery, need another and severe arthritis). So I had intended on buying a Honda CRV. That was until I read reviews, watched videos of reviews, saw, sat and drove the Nissan Murano Platinum. I couldn't be happier!!!

This SUV offers great value. The ride and interior quality is the best in class. It has all the bells and whistles, the only tech feature is missing is lane assist. After a year and half of driving the Murano, my rating still stand. This year to date combined gas mileage is 25.8 mpg, with no long road trip mileage, this is city and expressway driving mileage. Also, we like the safety features, they are a must have. The ride and the comfortable seats are the best value!

I have had this vehicle for approximately one week, and I love it! I have owned several SUVs over the years to include jeeps and a Toyota Highlander. As far as size, this reminds me of an old-school jeep Cherokee. However, the luxury and technology that comes with the platinum package feels like it is a few generations ahead of most other cars out there. Moreover, the exterior and interior styling are just plain cool! I upgraded to the pearl white with cashmere leather interior. It is a very comfortable and smooth ride. So far, my favorite vehicle ever. To many features to list, but needless to say, you will enjoy it. So far everyone I’ve taken out for a ride has been very impressed. I am as well.

Firstly, yes this was a rental. It had a minor handling issue because of mis-matched tires and some strange rattles while driving. That aside, I was more than happy with this vehicle. It was very comfortable, even in the cloth SV trim, and the ride was very good. Acceleration was okay, but good for a CVT. I felt very confident and safe on our 800 mile highway trip. I cruised this thing at 75-80 mph the entire time and had zero trouble. I really liked the blind zone detection indicators being on the doors instead of on the mirrors. I was a lot more aware of my surroundings as a result. Outward visibility is not the best, but I quickly got used to it. My wife, who is much shorter at 5'3" complained about the visibility and refused to drive it. She liked it otherwise. Cargo room was decent with us and our two kids. But, we travel lightly. I was really impressed with the mileage for as fast as I drove. We got just over 26 mpg, and I calculated that by hand rather than relying on the digital read-out. Our weather was optimal; 50's, sunny, very light winds. We've been shopping for an SUV and ruled this out simply based on my wife's concern about visibility since she would be the primary driver. I would not hesitate to buy one, however I would get one with a power lift gate. This rental did not have that, and the rear gate was a little awkward to use manually. Otherwise, it's a sound choice for a larger 2-row SUV.

Just traded in my 2014 Platinum for 2018 SUV AWD SL. Previously owned 2007 which ended up with engine issues. The 2014 Platinum was a great improvement and the 2018 SL AWD has all of the Platinum assets that I wanted. Only issue I have discovered in first 600 miles is that I need to raise the seat higher in order to better see the front and fender area. Navigation system great, connection to Android works well and I feel the Bose sound system performs well. Interior is plush and controls designed for easy access.

I don't buy cars frequently so I'm careful with what I get when I do. I purchased a Murano SV with a premium package and I love it. The ride is smooth, technology user friendly, comfortable and the panoramic roof is fantastic. I believe I'll be driving this one for a while.

My wife and I recently retired. Over the years, we have leased mostly Lexus and more recently Volvo cars. Going into retirement, we wanted to buy so we could own in a few years and not have a payment. So after 1year of researching cars in the same range as the Murano, we were able to narrow down our choices to 3 cars. After driving the Murano, we were sold. The interior was far superior to the other two cars on our short list while the price was comparable. Very happy customer thus far.

My wife and I have been driving Datsun, then, Nissans since 1976. Our emphasis has always been sedans. We have driven Maximas since owning a used 1979. So, as we approached trading our 2014 Maxima, I told the salesmen that we wanted to look at Maximas again. My wife said for us to hold everything. She startled me by saying she wanted to look at the Murano. After she explained the spateous seating, the raised visibility, the driving ease, the AWD, the electronics and the many accessories of the Murano, I had to agree. We are now the happy owners of a 2018 Murano! By the way, our friends love our choice too.

My third Murano. A high style beautifully equipped ride. The 2018 feel is smooth..and a solid manuver. The 20 inch tires are like floating in air. Apply.play.SOS safety communication along with lane change alert..front end collision warning are why I upgraded to platinum. The interior silver trim is like opening the doors to a space ship. She is fast and a sure get a way in tough traffic situations. I would drive nothing else! They need to redesign collision sensor front bumper which fails to work if snow gets on it. It is when you need it most.

The Murano is a really nice vehicle, only problem I have encounter so far is the front sensor keep giving an error that there is an obstruction and Nissan has done nothin g to correct the problem. This is frustrating error as it mess with the cruise control and is useless to have if it keeps coming every so often, rendering the cruise control useless and the ability to keep a safe distance. I’m surprised no one has had an accident or complaint about it. The dealer could not help as they have to wait for a technical bulletin from Nissan.

I looked at everything out there in a Midsize SUV and Nissan Murano, for style, comfort, mileage, electronics, etc. was the best. Very comfortable and fun to drive. Roomy. Great electronics console. Lots of room in the back for camping and a dog. My 5th Nissan and the best of the bunch. Can't go wrong with a Nissan.

This is my 3rd Murano and 2nd lease. I picked the 2018 up in June and after a month or so the electronics began acting up. The Front End Obstruction warning goes out periodically without any warning! The rear intermittent windshield wiper intermittently does not work. The electronic display for temperature controls goes out periodically. I had to upgrade my Apple Cell Phone (from a 4 to an 8) to store telephone numbers in the Blue Tooth and that is not always reliable still to date! Voice recognition is poor on a good day! When I remotely start the car, sometimes the cell phone does not upload phone numbers and I have go in an select phone book and upload stored numbers. I am already disenchanted with this new car. Service Dept. at my local dealership states they are waiting for a fix from Nissan Engineering! WE shall see.....

1 month of 4 months of ownership spent in shop. Front radar and cruise control not working. 5 times told nothing wrong. Then when shown not working, kept vehicle for 1 month and still at dealership. Should never have sold a car with known defects. Nissan probably doesn’t need repeat customers.

Blind Spot makes car unsafe for lane changes

I was pretty excited to rent the Morano because I was planning to purchase one next year. While driving the car I was pretty happy with the ride, the interior and exterior of the car and the overall space of the car. What shocked me about driving the car was when I began to make a lane change on the freeway, as I looked over my shoulder to make sure it was safe to do I could NOT see whether a car was next to me or close by me to make a safe lane change. I found the window in the back too high and not big enough for me to have a clear view of the lane next to me at all. I had to rely on my side window more than I'm comfortable doing to make lane changes!! Each time I needed to make a lane change I felt VERY unsure of the safety of my driving! This is a very bad design on this car!!! I'm no longer considering purchasing this car. I'm glad I rented it first!!

, hate the Bose sound system. Sound is tinny and has no depth took the Vechicle to two different Dealers and compared against other Muranos, they all sounded tinny. The Engineer at Nissan that released this system for the Murano must be hearing impaired or sound deaf. Front facing Radar continues to turn off during highway travel causing the cruse control to turn off for five minutes this is a safety concern if passing another vehicle at the time. Nissan is aware of the problem and does not have an Engineering solution. Class action suit has been filed and complaints made the NHSA.

The purchase experience was brutal. Dealer lied, cheated, tried to add $3,000 to price, used wrong VIN number and jacked up the interest rate. The vehicle is excellent. Nice ride. Comfortable.

I had driven Nissans since they were Datsuns (1981) I wrote my first review too soon as I loved and expected to love the new model as I had loved the old ones. The worst complaint I discovered is how they remodeled the seating, using plastic components that only just reached around the seat. It was positioned to cut my leg if I was not careful exiting the vehicle. The dealer said they couldn't fix it and my husband had to wrap this area in soft fabric. I was getting to feel the dealership doesn't care about you once they get your trade in and get their money for your car. I also drove a Jaguar that I didn't want to part with so when I had to sell one, I decided to sell the Murano and get a new Jaguar SUV.

Murano SL or Rogue SL

Traded in my 2014 Rogue SL with the premium package for a Murano SL Midnight Edition. I miss some features found on my Rogue but not available on the Murano. The theater seats with fore and aft adjustments in the rear. The large cargo area with hidden floor storage. Led headlights, only come on Murano Platinum, and most of all the lane assist feature. The Murano is quieter, smoother rideing, even on the 20" tires and better looking. I should have done more research on the Muranos features, but I did get a really great deal. If you are considering both vehicles go for the Rogue SL with premium package, the Led headlights and rear theater seats are great features. I just did not want another Rogue so thought the Murano, at higher pricing, would match features. Oh well my wife likes it and that is all that counts. Two negatives on the Murano very weak brightness controls on instrument panel and the kick opening tailgate is not always cooperative. Will be returning to dealer. I do like the car just wish it was a true upgrade from the Rogue.

Nissan knows about a dangerous issue with the vehicle, but chose to do nothing. A “Front Radar Obstruction” warning message appears randomly, and the cruise control shuts off. Could be dangerous; is extremely annoying!!

My 2018 Murano Platnum is now 2 years old and still loving it. Its ride is smooth and the interior is equal to any luxury car with outstanding comfortable seats. Generally not a fan of CVTs but this one has simulated shifts and wide power band from starting to getting on the highway. acceleration. Not a single quality issue on the car. The only issues I can see is the small storage in back and the rear camera is not very sharp..

Does not work! Do not buy this car if Android/Apple Car is a must b/c it simply does not work. I have tried multiple USB cords, contacted my dealer spoke to technicians and am now going to Nissan Corp. The feature will work for a short time, then will freeze completely or disconnect on it's own. This happens every time I have attempted it use the feature (like waze in the city, light turned green and I did not know which direction to go leaving me completely lost). It's very unsafe to have to fidget and reenter your destination while driving b/c your connection was suddenly for no reason lost. I am now back to just looking at my phone for waze, music and phone calls. I wish I new this feature didn't work before buying the car. Dealers will play dumb and blame Android but it clearly is a Nissan issue b/c the technology works in many other cars without a problem. The car isn't cheap, you would expect it would work as it's marketed. Buyer beware!!!!!

I've owned 2 Muranos previously. 2003 and 2009. Both fully loaded. Still a very "comfortable" vehicle (I'm 6'2") and drives great. My 2 complaints? The new Bose radio sounds very cheap. For a vehicle north of 40k I would like to see the seats have thigh extenders like the Maxima's. Comfortable seat as is but for tall riders this would greatly improved comfort.
