1. I drive cars until they fall apart at the bolts. 2. I’m not a car guy. My wife and I live in Bend, OR and winter in Palm Springs, so my 2013 Murano does that drive twice a year in addition to normal driving. It’s at 226k miles and drives like the day I bought it, and we can stuff SO much into the back of it. I love my Murano.
@CookieMonster_ I had to replace those…piston-like things that make the rear door go down when you just start to close it, $180. A few years ago there was a recall for something…I remember telling them I was grateful and impressed that they were recalling my 9yo car. Just a couple days ago I learned that Bend Nissan has closed its doors, so I’m not all that happy about that.
Same, I have a 2014 at 150K now, still very solid, smooth and comfortable. I'd buy a 2024 in a heartbeat.. they made that V6 for 20 years now.. and the 3rd gen Murano for 10 years. Most of the bugs have been worked out. They are 40K today but a gently used one can be had for half of that. Great deal when used.
I purchased a 2014 Nissan Murano SL in May of 2014. I have had no accidents, no breakdowns and no safety concerns! My Silky-Girl is running wonderfully at 74,000 miles\15 years later; her only undesirables are the springs in the two front seat sunvisors and the sensor in the windshield cleaner reservoir is amuck.
The sloping windshield has a very bad front blindside. Very scary when entering a major street. Other than that car is good. You get about 24 mpg with conservative driving. Handling is good.
I just bought a 2024 SL (Pearl) for $33K OTD yesterday (Dallas-2.9% apr). It had 5 miles on it after my test drive. Traded in my 2015 Black Murano w/ ≈226K miles. LOVE MURANOS!! Research, the deals are out there if you know how to work it!!!
I mean it’s a nice SUV, but let’s be honest. The instrument cluster is dated. It should be digital. It should have a bigger dash display, and I’m surprised on the platinum model. There are no power folding outside mirrors. What is up with that?
@@MeynMotorGroup thanks my 2015 was in an accident last week. I am so sad to loss it at this time. I do want a larger screen and CarPlay. Any idea what this new design is giving? We’re so close to 2025 to be forced to make a decision now seems like a mistake. Thanks for answering back. Is the new design gonna be electric??? I heard that’s what they are doing with the Maxima.
I'm surprised you are so positive on this one Kevin. I took a 2019 for a test drive a few years ago and found it pretty terrible, rough ride, crappy interior, bad handling, bad acceleration etc. I actually asked the salesman if I could end the test drive early and he wouldn't let me, he forced me to drive that piece of crap for like 20 minutes!😂
I'm not surprised you had that experience drive 10 of these and all 10 will drive different from one another. I remember driving an RX 350 that felt like a Rolls Royce and 2 years later drove another RX that felt worse than a RAV4. Test drive everything thoroughly.
man I remember when this Vehicle design was new. few years back. I like it alot at first. especially the interior. looks very nice. but the exterior got old very quick in my personal opinion. and you are 100% correct on the Warantee. I knew a coworker who 2018 bought Nissan rogue. I did try to convince them buying a certified used Toyota way better deal or even well maintained Toyota with high miles is better deal than a used Nissan rogue with less or lowe miles. they didn't listen . now they are experiancing problems one of them rear glass leaks water and it's already shows sings of rust. that is 2018. I own a 2012 Toyota zero rust. in the end I convinced them to at least warrantee the CVT transmission that thing still curse issues not resolved. and they did that thankfully.
Lol I agree I think many of us liked the design at first but as you said it aged really bad and I can't stand to see this anymore. Yea I can't believe people are bold enough to buy this stuff outside of factory warranty when we all know the history of these products. Some just love to learn the hard way..
@@MeynMotorGroup or if you know to adjust the position of the other seats and you’re not a giant. It’s obviously not a minivan. It’s an suv with a third row designed for smaller passengers. It is not “useless” for everyone whether you personally fit there or not. The statement was irresponsible and just plan false.
Obviously my friend the point of this video is to show people to NOT pay 40k as the year continues these should come down to the low 30s and lease for like 200 a month.
I think the problem most people have is they can't seem to understand the concept of equity. You're thinking 30k as if it's a sum of money you pay out of pocket but the reality is if you get vehicles like that at such a substantial discount, you end up paying next to nothing for it because you will eventually trade it in and recoup a substantial amount back this is why leasing is so powerful and why if you play the game right you can be in perpetual equity forever and not even pay for maintenance or repairs..ever. But sadly, not many can wrap their heads around this concept.
@@jeffamburgey7485 exactly it’s like when people were leasing the Chevy bolt for $75 a month people just buy one for the heck of it or how someone recently got a new Kona EV in Colorado for $99 a month people just get it because it’s essentially a free car
Haha, I knew a guy that leased a Bolt for 88 dollars a month for 2 years to drive to work and left his Cadillac in the garage. He called it the Free Car.
@@jeffamburgey7485 yup there you go a lot of people get these cheap cars for their kids too assuming they are the responsible type that won’t tear up the car.
Odd that Nissan has let what is supposed to be most brand's best selling vehicle category, get so old and outdated. This was always touted as an SUV offering for the people that wanted Maxima's, but have kids larger than car seat age. Murana has been in dire need (as has the Maxima) for a new generation. The reason all these people are commenting that this car sucks, is because this is a 2015 car. Just one thats been given some makeup as it aged. Obviously, this means a 2024 Nissan Murano is going to feel 10 years behind in philosophy for the class. If you want this car and dont want it to be a shite experience... probably get the Ariya instead. Thats what I imagine a revisited Murano attempt would look like, and with the benefit of not being a shitty V6 mated to a shitty CVT.
I can't remember what year model I drove but I hated it, it was bloody awful, I ended up buying a Subaru Liberty LX, and from what I see the Murano has gotten even more ugly.
I believe it another gentleman just commented the exact same thing. I do believe they make improvements in the drive over the years but more importantly, all of these turds are going to drive different from one another. Even in 2024 you can grab 10 of these and all 10 will drive different from one another.

Most people that drive SUV's have never raced an SUV before 😆 The Murano is the lightest and fastest SUV in a class of it's own!
You don't expect something that big to be fast 😂

I got the 15 with 105k they are good cars
I have a 2018 Plantinum. It's great. 3.5L V6, no auto stop/start. At 40,000 miles, I should get at least 6 more years out of it.
The sloping windshield has a very bad front blindside. Very scary when entering a major street. Other than that car is good. You get about 24 mpg with conservative driving. Handling is good.
It's gonna redesign soon
That’s why 2024 will be offered at insane deals

Yea it's def not perfect but if they start selling for 30k and lease for 200 a month I wouldn't care at that point
I hate digital speedos. The smoothness and ability to visually see how fast youre accelerating on an analogue speedo and tach makes more sense
@thaknobodi Understandable, but what they're charging for in this day and age, I'm surprised they didn't put one in there
Not everyone likes digital display and appreciate analog gauges.
I have a 2014 Nissan Murano I love my it ride great. I want2016 Murano.
I was told the Murano is gonna be discontinued after 2024. Is this true???
@@fuzzyspirals it’s getting redesigned for 2025. 2024 will be the last model year of this body style.

To hard on gas needs to have 4 cyl or hubread
its one of those vehicles i wish i could unsee 😂
looks are subjective as long as it's cheap idc
As a general rule I don't talk about any vehicle with a CVT. 🤷🏽
I hear you but I'm really starting to think many are missing the forest for a tree..
@MeynMotorGroup
"3 on the tree," I'd take that over a CVT too.
The 3rd row of the pathfinder is useless? About every other reviewer and pathfinder owner would disagree with you.
My family owns a Pathfinder... I do not fit in the 3rd Row. If you don't have legs it's fine.

@@retrotechnerd Honda Pilot is leaps and bounds more practical but you’re probably going to tell me that’s another “irresponsible statement.”
Unfortunately, the Nurano has fallen behind so MANY competitors in so MANY ways - and I used to own a Murano.
Not anymore

Hard pass young Kevin, presuming it's in the same class as the Rav 4, I just don't see a scenario where I'd buy or lease it.
I think people will change their tone real quick when they can lease it for 180-200 a month 😅😂
