I very interested in buying a Murano (in a couple of days). Please tell me the main reason you bought a Murano (instead of Infinity FX35, BMW X3, Honda Pilot, 4Runner, Pathfinder etc). Thanks!
FX35 - Similar to the Murano - Too expensive when equiped nicely.Z_owner_needs_M said:I very interested in buying a Murano (in a couple of days). Please tell me the main reason you bought a Murano (instead of Infinity FX35, BMW X3, Honda Pilot, 4Runner, Pathfinder etc). Thanks!![]()
FX35: Too expensive for what it has, ONLY comes with leather interior (we want cloth)Z_owner_needs_M said:I very interested in buying a Murano (in a couple of days).

My finalists were:
Honda Pilot: Didn't choose it because: ugly styling (refrigerator box with wheels), spartan interior, no factory sunroof
Toyota Highlander: I liked it a lot, very smooth ride (which I like, I spend a lot of time highway cruising) and Toyota reputation for quality build, but downsides for me were that I couldnt' get in-dash XM satellite radio, smaller gas tank (I drive 500-600 miles/week, so the extra fillups add up) and plain jane styling. Two weeks after buying my Murano we ordered a Sienna minivan, so Toyota did get my bucks.
Acura MDX: The one I came the closest to buying. Nice smooth ride, luxurious cabin. What ultimately swayed me was the higher price (to get the same options I had to get the top of the line MDX, which was about 5k more than the loaded Murano SL), had similar concerns about the boxy styling, smaller gas tank, and lack of in-dash XM. Ultimately I think I just wanted the coolest looking SUV around, which the Murano is IMHO.

How do you like the Sienna? We bought one the dealer had already ordered and it's supposed to be here in 10 days. I won't hold my breath, since my Murano was a month late. It was kind of depressing paying so close to sticker after getting the Murano at invoice, but I guess that's the price of buying a popular vehicle.
Murano - Great looks, sporty athletic handling, good gas Mileage, very roomy inside, great price to options ratio.I very interested in buying a Murano (in a couple of days).
