I'm 30 and I just bought a 2015 Murano haha.. Maybe its out of my age group.. but I love it! I wasn't a huge fan of it at first... but after plenty of research and a test drive.. I dove in a bought one. And I must say, I'm glad I did. I took it on a road trip from LA to Sequoia National Park and it was just amazingly comfortable. Its by no means a fast vehicle, but its quick. Everyone will have a different experience with this vehicle as it is with all cars.. I for one love it. Plus, its a very unique looking car and since February 11th when I got it.. I've only seen 1 other 2015 Murano. :)

Just bought a 2015 Murano and I love it. I'm a 62 yr. old working grandmother. Love the comfy interior and the sporty look. This is my 3rd Nissan with no problems, plus I live in Mississippi and that is where it is made, yeah Mississippi.

too much talking and not enough review of the car

[MotoManTV]

Manesceo LaGrange First off, don't lease . . . Discussed in many films before. Second, all depends on if you need a CUV or a can get by with a full size sedan.

Ugly is the first word that I thought of when I saw this car in person.

0:38 all that demographic stuff is funny. It's not always families with SUV's. A lot of people just like the look, like riding high up, and size of them and they have no kids. That's one reason they are on par with 4 door sedans in sales. Plenty of guys think they are good a good compromise between a pickup and a car.

I took my 2014 Rogue in for a tire rotation and to kill some time drove the 2015 Murano. I'm a 68 yo retiree and I loved the thing, it will be my next vehicle in a year or two. Maybe for my 70'th birthday.

I've never seen so many troll accounts and most of the people aren't even in market for these cars they are just trolling wile they own a 1995 mazda tribute.. is this who follow motoman? Sad

[andrewcasey]

Horrible review, if you can even call it a review. You didn't go over any of the technology, cargo space, engine sizes, or options.

[Chase-qbmd]

If I hear yummy mommy's one more time

[remelsheikh]

I think its by far one of the better looking CUVs in its segment. 

[TonmoyGhosh]

Can I see some pictures of "yummy mommies"

[itsdimitriymedvedyev]

Murano is my favorite SUV. GTR is my favorite super car. Maxima us my favorite sedan. Titan is my favorite truck. 370 is my favorite Friday night roam around with friends car. I believe Nissan is better and is the leader in the future of vechiles and beyond!

[poloblueboy]

Good review but most importantly what about reliability? Nissan almost went bankrupt in the 90s, let's not forget that. So can someone tell me about reliability ?

[eileenverjes]

Good looking car, brought back the WOW factor as when it was first introduced back in 2003.

[markechio]

we hate cvts but love apple they do the something

[HikerToo]

We have a 2007 Murano, will be trading up in the next year, we are 50 year old DINC's who like outdoor sports, and AWD.
The 2015 Murano is on our list of course, we usually like lighter interiors, tan is fine, or like in my SAAB  a mix of light and dark in strategic areas...I am worried the light color shown is too light everywhere, should have some darker tones thrown about on different kick panels, doors, etc. A few bike, camping trips would trash that pearly white interior!

[KhrissyDaDon]

I like your reviews, you just earned yourself a subscriber. And I feel that the Murano should compete with the Ford Edge, Toyota Venza, Subaru Outback, Hyundai Sante Fe. Because the Murano can be had with cloth seating and so can the other models I listed... while the Rx comes with leather (although sometimes not real) seating in a base model. So it can be crossed shopped but don't run home comparing the two.

I just got the Brilliant Silver one, SL AWD techpack. For people who is having second thoughts on it. Go see it in person! you'll want one :), I think its a great deal for the features and quality the car have, compare to other vehicles.   

But my personal thought, cars that this car competes with:
BMW X3
Lexus RX350
Mercedes GLK
Mazda CX5
Audi Q5
Jeep Cherokee
Lincolin MKX
and... a few others...

Ken is the man, because he drives a DS.

I love the looks but hate that CVT. 7-speed auto plz.
