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!
