Hello,
I've been reading these forums for a few months now (tremendously helpful) and am seriously considering a Murano. We're also looking hard at the 2004 MDX. We're a family of 4, two children 7 years and 6 months.
My question is about the new 2004 models and specifically the drive options. I know the SE has a manumatic mode with 6 speeds/settings, which replaces Ds and Dl it seems. Does the 2004 SL still have those drive modes (Ds and Dl)? Did it have them in 2003?
I was interested in waiting on the 2004 models for the SE manumatic mode but after reading the thread below about it - it doesn't seem to be very advantageous with the CVT transmission. Everyone with an SE seems to enjoy Ds so much that it makes me think I may want to avoid the 2004 SE if the 2004 SL has it.
Any information about it would be helpful...and any additional thoughts about the 2004 vs. teh 2003 would certainly be appreciated as well.
