2006 Nissan Murano SL 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
Best SUV I have ever owned! Have had it 2 years, and am drooling over the new one! Can't see myself without a Murano ever again. Tranny is great, good gas mileage, hauls my toys very nicely (4 wheelers, snowmobiles, waverunners) and my dogs love it. I average 20 MPG, around 23 on the freeway on trips, with fairly aggresive driving. Highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking!
Favorite Features
CVT, CVT, CVT! Also the styling is great, and the engine is just right.
Suggested Improvements
Well, I guess maybe a little beefier stereo, and better gas mileage would always be nice. But low 20s is fairly reasonable for an SUV the way I drive!

2006 Nissan Murano SL 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
We have had a Nissan Murano since December of 2005. The car is excellent for road trips. I have taken three teenagers, 15, 18, 19 on several road trips in the past two years and have not heard complaints from the back seat. We find gas mileage on the highway averages around 26mpg, 28 if its really easy driving. Around town we find this to be the perfect urban SUV. INterior is very nice the dash is easy to use and the handling is outstanding. Similar to our old maxima. Cargo space is quite good, see 3 teenagers, 2 adults road trip, everyone brought a suitcase and a couple of coolers. I plan to drive this until the wheels fall off.
Favorite Features
Handling, gas mileage, interior comfort. Good acceleration.

2006 Nissan Murano SE 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
This is an impressive SUV for its value. I was planing to buy Benz or BMW but I am glad I kept my 20,000 bucks in my pocket and got more from my Murano than those vehicles offer. Excellent comfort, service and performance. It sticks to the ground on snowy and icy road conditions. Interior design is very attractive and CVT shift is the most interesting feature you can experience and only at Nissan vehicles. I am glad that I test drove this vehicle that day and bought it. Extremely recommended.
Favorite Features
CVT, interior design, performance on slippery road conditions esp. on snow and ice, reliability

2006 Nissan Murano SL 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
What can I say, before buying the Murano, I've test driven the RX 350, FX35 and the Pilot. I've got about 11k miles on it already, and so far, so good! I get about 19-21 mpg mostly city driving, and it handles great. The 3.5 award winning engine is great and easy maint.
Favorite Features
Nav, Bose, backup cam., memory seats & mirrors, intelli key!!
Suggested Improvements
Need to work on the interior. Not impressive at all. Lack of visibility in the rear, a more responsive CVT.

2006 Nissan Murano SE 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
Great styling and general performance. Gas mileage is much less than similar cars of this size that I have owned. The car is solid, but any packages that I place in the car rattle like crazy. This is the only car where I have experienced this phenomenon. It detracts immensely from the overall driving experience. Is there that much difference in the ride of an SL versus my SE?
Favorite Features
Styling, performance, smooth shifting with CV transmission. No major mechanical issues in 30,000 miles.
Suggested Improvements
Better gas mileage, smoother ride, door locks that activate when you place the transmission in DRIVE or PARK (even my cheap Beetle has this feature).

2006 Nissan Murano SL 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
I just bought my Murano used a month ago from a private party. It only had 8,100 miles on it (2006). I looked for a year and got a great price for an SL in perfect condition. I love driving this car. It's zippy, and fun. The Bose stereo system sounds great for most, if you're really into your music you might be a little disappointed. The suspension is a little soft on the SL model if you really like to put the car through the turns. But overall I'm very happy with the car!! I love the interior and exterior lines.
Favorite Features
I love the looks and styling of this car. Bose stereo system, back seats recline slightly, back up camera is awesome as well!
Suggested Improvements
An EQ for the stereo system. Improved suspension for performance driving (OK, I'm really picky). The car is great otherwise!!

2006 Nissan Murano SL 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
Most of the time I love my Murano. However, when I have problems it seems to take multiple visits to the dealer to cure them. It took a year to solve a creak in the sun visors. I've made at least 4 visits for a creaking driver's door. Any road imperfections make it creak and it is embarassing when you have others in the vehicle. The door panel has to be replaced. Cruise control will occasionally not respond when I tap the brake pedal have to slam on the brakes or turn off cruise control. The dealer just replaced the master cylinder hoping that will cure the problem So doI! Nissan should spend more money on the interior. It feels like all the money was spent on exterior design.
Favorite Features
Exterior styling, intelligent key, back-up camera, Bose stereo, fold down rear seats.
Suggested Improvements
Some choice in replacement tires. Better quality of interior materials.

2006 Nissan Murano S 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
I purchased this car for the safety features and supposed gas mileage. This car handles great and I love to drive it. I purchased this car about 6 months ago and was in one hit and run accident Christmas Eve. The safety features worked beautifully, the repairs were done and the car drives like nothing ever happened.
Favorite Features
The lumbar support in drivers seat.
Suggested Improvements
The gas mileage was stickered at 24mpg/26mpg, clearly not the case. I average 17.5 highway, very disappointed at that. The rear brakes squeal rather loudly in wet weather, no fix either per manufacturer.

2006 Nissan Murano S 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Review
This is a very nice riding car. Handles well on poor driving surfaces. Gas mileage is not what I would like, but I've been driving a 4cyl Altima for the last 12 years. One poor feature is passenger side mirror visibility. Windows are tinted & headrest are very large. I had to install fisheye mirrors to improve field of vision. Other than that the Murano is a great buy.
Favorite Features
Flat folding rear seats, dual temperature settings.
Suggested Improvements
Poor passenger side view mirror visibility.
