Wow, looks like a clear case of someone who thinks he knows what he's talking about, but doesn't and is very opinionated.
(He should be on this forum!)
But seriously, I was amused by the SUV's tip over thing, yet he doesn't talk about the Murano's placement of wheels and the stability that adds, plus he over looks VDC at that point. Calling it an Altima station wagon is an over simplification of what the vehicle is.
There's an assumption on his part that SUV owners do not want a sporty ride, as he, up front, calls this a problem.
I immediately saw it as a benefit, when I test drove one.
He says pricing is a problem. I didn't see it that way, as the competing vehicles didn't win against it, for me, regardless of price.
He recommends a more basic version of a Murano, yet most people who have gone that path, seem to regret it in some aspect and wish they had spent the extra money to get a loaded one.
Wow, you can get the Ford Escape Hybrid for less. (Yeeeeecccchhh...)
"Although the all wheel drive model does not have a low range transfer case, the differential can lock..." This is more proof this reveiwer is clueless. It's a vehicle for the road, not the trail and the diff's don't lock. He means the transfer case, but wow, if you're going to a review to guide other people, please know WTF you're talking about.
"Stereo buttons are too small..." Huh? I though he must have been smoking something when he wrote that one.
He does point out the poor FM reception, which we can blame on the stylish, yet useless antenna.
It does appear his learning curve for the controls is rather slow. I don't have any issues with those either.
I laughed when he knocked the horn. Mine's fine, anyone else have a problem with the horn?
I'm surprised he recognised the rear seating is great. I was expecting a slam about the Murano not being built like a small bus and having three rows of seats. (Ah, but he couldn't leave it alone and did mention it later.) That lack of a third row and a roomy second, is one of the things that attracted me to the Murano. As were others that he's positioned as negatives.
Overall, I found the review biased and he certainly started it off on a strange footing and then seemed to moderate it as it went on.
Not a fair, balanced, impartial and well written review.
