After doing a lot of research, I've definitely decided on the Murano and
will be purchasing a 2005 model soon after that model is released.

If you want to check out a really good information source, specifically for
the Murano, that answers a lot of questions, go to:
www.nissanmurano.org

Had my SL AWD for a year, love it. Powerful, smooth and comfortable. Gas
mileage 19+.The new trans. is great.

One concern, it's easy to lock yourself out due to the position of the "push
in" lock device on the driver door opener(if you have large hands).

try the forums section on edmunds.com. lots of consumer comments, both good
and bad.

Rattling windows, ill-installed sunroofs, other productions glitches,
proceed with caution.
