That's the best thing about the S...the price. You can't beat it. Another good thing is the exterior. Minus the omission of foglights and the rear badging, it's literally the same premium look across the board.
The S is a seriously good value given the default amenities and the fact that it rides on the same suspension bits/has the same motor as the top of the line.


Seems like most Murano buyers (at least the ones in the Tampa Bay area) opt for one end of the spectrum or the other. They go all in, or they go for value. I see base models and Platinums everywhere; relatively few SVs and SLs.
 
I love the S model. My wife has a Platinum with every option while mine has none. For $25K brand new it cannot be beaten. I feel like a stole it.

My only gripe about the S is the lack of power seats. For the price they're charging for the vehicle, why is that not standard? It's an expensive CUV for goodness sake.

Thanks for all the comments

My Wife has had rain sensing wipers on ever car or SUV she owned after buying the 2009 Murano.When she buys vehicle she only asks for 3 things, Leather Seats, A nice behind (She loves the duel chrome tailpipes) and the Rain Sensing. I think what made it worse was the salesman told us they were rain sensing wipers! (young guy maybe thought the intermittent wipers were what she was looking for) After she found out the SL didn't have them AFTER we bought it she was even willing to go to top trim Platinum, but found they didn't even have them! She's learning to use the intermittent wipers but being in the Midwest they do suck as they are always needing adjusted.
 
I use to have them................

I think I had them on my 2011 Platinum and they didn't work very well. My 2009 Cadillac STS-4 had them and they worked great! That car also had automatic hi-beam dimming which also worked very well. Somehow I think there maybe legal issues about these items, like maybe GM has a patent on them and if you want them you'll have to buy a GM product, no thanks!
