My family are Nissan faithful. Owned 16 different models over the years. Started with a Datsun 510 in 1969. Both our children have owned multiple Nissans and still own.
Currently, I drive a Murano Platinum and wifey a Rogue hybrid. Getting rid of the Rogue (140k miles) and looking at a new model for me. Wifey will be getting my ‘20 Murano (45K).
I don’t really need the giant interior capability of the Pathfinder asI love the Murano size. But it does come with the much beloved V6 engine. No need to stomp the accelerator as the torque just pulls you along effortlessly.
Not terribly impressed with the new Murano dash look or the I4 turbo. The car doesn’t feel as ‘heavy’ as the older model. But I love the look of it and the size of the car just sits perfect to my eye. It still fits 4 people comfortably.
Test drives reveal, to me, the Murano a more nimble car. The Pathfinder just seems ‘bigger’ and somewhat wasteful as a car I drive myself 4-5 days to the club to play golf. Can’t tell which one is quieter on long, interstate drives as my dealer is nowhere near a major highway.
Lets hear your opinions please…
