The Murano has very, very poor reliability ratings. Aim higher than that in your lamentations.

man havent been back in this forum for a while now, nice to see everyone arguing with each other still. i agree wit DNC though. when i used to have an rx330 i thought the seats were horrible. not the width or the actual cushioning. i hated how the bottom seat cushion was so short. even with the seat all the way back and me sitting as far back in the seat as possible, i hated how my legs didnt have enough support, due to the cushion being so short. other makes usually have an option to make it longer. I dunno maybe i have longer legs then most ppl, but not having that adjustment just wasnt good. of course i cant say much,because the IS350 i have now has the same issue. seats designed either for children or people who are very short.

Just completed 3000 mile trip with our '09 RX & really didn't notice any drivers seat problems. At 6'4" I enjoyed the ride.
Now when I was in the front passenger seat I had all kinds of problems, seemed like a completely different seat on that side so I didn't ride shotgun to much.

Not to be racist or anything, but I believe Japanese people are among the shortest people in the world! Perhaps that explains their engineering.

Default My advice would be to downgrade to the Murano.

I can't tell y'all how sorry I am for buying it. I like the car a lot but........

My advice would be to downgrade to the Murano. Then you can reply to the Nissan board and let them know you really wanted a Hyundai.


What do you hope to accomplish bashing your Lexus on a Lexus board? I love mine. The thing with Lexus and Toyotas are you really grow to appreciate them after you have had them for about 5 years.

Not if you do absolutely 0 homework and like to live your life as a victim. His gripe was that he bought an 09 and then discovered the 10 was a redesign. And that the 09 had old technology like dvd updated navi. That's true but how can you not know that before you buy it? I think he's hoping for a government bailout.

Maybe BO and gang will buy his 09 RX from him and just give him the coveted manuro, then raise the bailout to 1 trillion, 28 thousand:

Comparing an RX to a manuro is apples to oranges. They arent anywhere near being in the same class.

I'm getting used to my car now. I'm starting to like it a lot and I love the amount of power it has. I'm sorry you don't like the Murano, or Hundai for that matter (haha) but I really thought the new Murano was nice. Lexus has been in my family since 1993 when it started with the es300. Now my mom and my grandmother both have the RX and both love them. I'm seriously concidering trading my RX for the IS350 just beause I think I need something SPORTY!!! Other than that, I have no EXTREME complaints about the car except the Nav station.
