Agree with Matteeboy.

Downsides.
Very thirsty with a Euro-combined of 23mpg, others manage similar from higher capacity V8's.
No real off road credentials so dont try anything more than wet grass.
It's not supposed to be that good to drive but never driven one myself.
Very low towing limit for an SUV, a Mondeo can tow 300kg more!!

Cheers
Lee

Don't think a Murano will be bought with any thought of trailers ,towing or off roading!

Had a sit in one.Thought it was rather smart.Same engine as the 350Z?

Yeh, but mated to a crappy CVT gearbox.

A friend of mine was looking at one to tow a sports speed boat thingy.

Ok well hes bought it.

Traded in his 350z and Volve Convertible for it.

Now on the look out for 20" alloys for it.

I would guess that the Euro Combined 23 mpg is better than what you would actually get, mid late teens mpg would be more realistic.
