2007 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT FWD		 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
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT AWD		 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

2009 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Strong resale value. Good brand image, I live/work in Beverly Hills and still holds it's own against European rivals for much less. However, some brand snobs will throw their nose. Eh, who cares. see full Lexus IS review
2008 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Lexus cars in general are rock solid. There is definitely a return to investment quotient, in design, features, performance, and reliability, which translates into high resale value. see full Lexus IS review
