    It is 2025 and I just bought one very exquisite, well

    It is 2025 and I just bought one very exquisite, well taken care of, one owner, Nissan Murano, Platinum Edition in Pearl White, and I couldn’t be happier. Luxurious? Check! Powerful V6? Check! Value? Check!!! I think I must have bought one of the nicest pre-owned Muranos ever sold, and at a great price at that. Very Happy!

    Poor design leads to high service and parts costs.

    Poor design leads to high service and parts costs. Navigation system is horribly out of touch. Not only stay away, but run away from this company. No wonder the are in financial trouble!!!

    I purchased my 2018 Murano brand new.

    I purchased my 2018 Murano brand new. It is still the wonderful machine it was upon purchase. Very little maintenance required outside of the standard. I love everything about it. Visibility can be tricky with the interior design on the driver's side when rounding a corner, it is hard to see what might be coming your way. Otherwise, my Murano (this is my second one) is a reliable gem to own. I LOVE NISSAN CARS!

    Visibility issues over hood

    Seeing over the hood is difficult and on left and right the way its designed. I have been up on curbs more than not. Unless, redesigned would not buy again. The navigation screen is hard to see.

    Bulletproof and comfortable for the money.

    By far one of the best suvs I’ve ever own, AWD, V6, Bose sound system, pano roof, nasa foam seats, CarPlay, you don’t need much else on it, even came with the blacked out wheels from factory, it was clean from the day I got it and it’s still great now, drove from Pittsburgh PA to Newport Beach, CA and I’d do it again in a heartbeat, no problems what so ever. Peeled the plastic off of it from the dealer myself.

    great car for the money

    Compare it to the Ford Edge, Honda Passport, Hyundai Sante Fe, and others. I think you will be impressed. Does everything well. Very comfortable, fuel efficient, and peppy. Has a straight Nissan V-6 that has been there best engine for many years.
