| Nissan Murano or Rogue? Anyone have one? What have been your experience? I am looking to possibly buy a small SUV and I like the way these look. I am also considering the Honda Pilot or the Hyndai Santa Fe (maybe?). Thanks in advance for your help!

| We have a Nissan Murano and the only thing that I don't like about it is that the steering wheel is somewhat hard to turn. It has power steering but its pretty hard and your arms get tired, so I make my husband drive it..lol Otherwise its a great car!

| I got the Murano about a months ago and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I haven't noticed the hard to turn steering. I love all the features of it....love the seat warmers, love the navigation (much better than my BMW), love the back up camera, love the memory seats, love the cup holders (much better than my BMW). I looked at the Rogue but they didn't have all the features and it is a lot smaller.

Now, more importantly, how does little Miss Teddi like it? Where does she sit?

| I just had a rental car and it was the Murano. I"m in love, however, I wouldn't call it a small SUV. It was pretty big to drive but it felt so good. I had no problem with the steering wheel, it was a 2009 and I couldn't wait to return it for fear something was going to happen to it. My GF has the Santa Fae and that's a much smaller SUV. That also is really nice and comfortable. Gas milage is not so great she said. |

| Hey Miwwi, dis hewe is Wemi. Teww yo mommy dat we hab a Muwano and whin we go on wong twips, mommy puts da seat down an puts wots a paddin down an beds an Woxy an me hab a supew dupew time. I am so hooked on my Murano that it's going to have to last me for the next 30 yrs. We've had many different cars and trucks and rented alot, and this is the only vehicle that I don't feel pooped after a long drive. And, I haven't noticed anything hard with the steering. I love, love, love it and am their biggest unpaid salesman.

| LOL Miss Teddi loves it...she sits on her mom's lap or in her pet fly's carrier. More importantly is the fact that I can put Cassie's bed in the back and she can sprawl out in the back. The gas mileage is good too. I thought it would be bad but it is the same or better than my BMW. I read on line about them a lot too before I bought it and you can hardly find anyone who says anything bad about them!

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | The murano is very nice but rough on gas...it burns as much as the Pathfinder. That is why when we were buying we opted for the Path because of the larger seating. If you want a smaller SUV then go for the Rogue. I have a new Sentra that hubby got me in Feb. When that lease is up I am going to get the Rogue. I drove them both and I loved them. The Honda Pilot is nice as far as seating but when I compared the prices for that vs the Path the Path won hands down on the pricing I was getting. I was a big Honda fan (repeat leaser) but I didn't go there this time because I was dissapointed by the lack of changes to the body of the vehicle. It just looks so plain. Good luck on deciding.

| I get pretty good milage with mine - about 20 in town and up to 26 on the highway.

Wow your testimonial makes me want to go out and get one NOW! I drove one as a rental for a few days and loved it. I would really like something bigger than my Accord, and I'd like to have 4 wheel drive for winter! What color do you have? I am in LOVE with the ivory...

| This is what mine looks like. Black outside, black leather inside. Butt warmers are great. They work like heating pads when my back hurts. There is soooooo much room in the back with the seats down. We got ours for safety reasons. Too many huge SUV's on the road, protection is important. Especially with a little one on the way. Check the safety aspects of any models you are looking at.
