| I have always thought my 2006 seemed somewhat sluggish but thought it was the CVT. I was fortunate enough to get a Murano from National Car Rental in Phoenix so I was able to make a comparison. I strongly feel that my rental car is much stronger off the line and guicker to accelerate on the road. It seems it might be the programming of the peddle position verse rpm demand to the engine which is connected via a position instrument on the peddle. Is this my imagination or are the variations on how this can be programmed. |

Welcome to the forum!!!
Don't you know that all rental cars can brake harder, corner better, rev higher, go through deeper water, traverse bigger potholes, and do better donuts than a privately-owned vehicle of the same make and model?
But seriously... yes, it is very possible that the "tip-in" is programmed differently on the rental you drove.

| Thanks for the reply njjoe. Can I get this tip-in adjusted by the dealer or can I do it? |

I am not sure if this will have the desired effect, but it may be worth a try.

:eek:
It's tough living in this age of transitions. Where we drop one methodology before we are really ready to adopt another.
I am really tired of programing one thing or another. It reminds me of the early day of computers. Back when we had punched cards.
Seriously, it this unceasing quest to add one frill after another it seems none are really completely engineered. No money for adequate development, No time to do the job right and not adequately trained techs. It's not that the techs are dumb I really don't believe they are, it just that there are too many tings to learn and then we add junkie alternator brackets and weak tranny cases to tyrannical practices of replace rather than fix. |
