The Murano was Barbara's and my favorite suv. But it listed $10,000 more than our Chevy Equinox we ended up buying. The Murano is sharp looking.
The Equinox is good ... I rented a used one for 30 days that had 360km on it , (223,000 miles) ... it was tight and nimble and you sit nice and high in traffic. One of my brothers just bought a brand new one and loves it.
The early ones had a deadly flaw in the windshield design , the glass was almost flat (no problem) but the side-pillars were very wide and too vertical which created a perfect blind spot in certain conditions.
Pull up to an intersection and look left .... no traffic coming so you begin a slow roll into the intersection and check right .... no traffic so you proceed.
WHAMO ... that 4" - 6" wide pillar design creates a perfect blindspot which perfectly hides a car coming from the right . Knowing that , the driver should rubber-neck around the pillar to be safe
GM has since modified it , made a smaller pillar and sloped the windshield back a lot more. I wish I owned one.
