We've had our black exterior/interior 04 LS AWD for 3 days now, and I must say I am in love with this car! Driving it is simply described as a joy. Experimenting with the CVT at low rpm's was just amazing. constant linear acceleration, even going up hills. It's like the rpm needle gets glued at 1.2K. Amazing. I'm at a whole 120 miles so far, and no issues to speak of. MPG has also suprised me(for the better), since I was expecting 12-14 pre-break in, and I'm actually getting closer to 20 (that's city driving). Cruise control at 60mph averages around 25mpg. Initially it was lower, but it's slowly climbing as the engine breaks in. Everyone who complains about mpg - be patient! It definately gets better. Probably also helps that I really keep an eye on the rpm's - no higher than 3, and around 1.2 - 1.5 90% of the time.
So add me to the list of oh so happy murano owners. Seems there's also a bit of a community surrounding these cars. Cool.
