I have owned Datsun/Nissan vehicles for 30 years now. This is only my 4th vehicle because the quality provides me with the reliability I expect from a manufacturer. I have logged over 860K miles on my 4 vehicles. see full Nissan Murano review
Nissan Murano Brand Reputation: Cons

I think Nissan has an image of a small car company, and some of its offering (Cube,Juke) seem zany! There had also been bad press on how they had handled CVT issues until 2007. Nissan USA seems to have discouraged/disappointed too many valuable customers! see full Nissan Murano review
2009 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT FWD
On-going reliability that is a step down from competitors. see full Nissan Murano review
2003 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT AWD
The image of the car is not all that desirable, the introduction of lesser models means that there are too many to be "tricked out" see full Nissan Murano review

Kia and Hyundai deservedly are darlings of the car industry now. But even in 2010, Kia still was shedding their old "I could not afford a Japanese car" image. It was one of my biggest reservations about buying. Their image keeps on improving. see full Kia Soul review

Kia has always been seen a cheap line see full Kia Soul review

I bought the car for the car, and not for the brand. When I bought my Honda Fit, part of that was because of the Honda brand. see full Kia Soul review
