But we can set up a forum where you can post the winners and losers and maybe save someone from getting jacked. Here's the link: Canadian Dealer Ratings and Reviews Lots of Canadians visit the various Prices Paid forums here to try to figure out what to offer for a new or used car - there's one of those for just about every make and model that's common to the US and CA. See you at Timmy's?

Replying to: gailo1 (Aug 29, 2003 10:43 am) I bough my Nissan Murano 2008 SL in October 2008. It took me a whole month of tweaking, re-adjusting, experimenting with the leather seats... Nothing helped... The main problem I have identified is the seat design - it is slanted upwards, and you cannot do anything about it. There is absolutely no way to level the seat, so one keeps sliding towards the back of the seat, which creates pressure points on the lower back... I took it for the service, they told me that the seats are fine. This is by design, they said, and advised me to use a back pillow (can you believe that?! I've paid in cash $5K up-front and am paying $460/mo, only to find out that I still need a pillow)... I am trying to get used to the new seat design, but it gives me a lot of back pain... And the most upsetting part about it is that it is a really great car!!! Such a pity that they could not design the seats well...

Replying to: jayrider (Nov 08, 2008 6:53 am) My wife has car fever and seat comfort is a concern. Seats that feel too firm initially sometimes wind up being great on longer jaunts. But unless you can get some long sit time in a car before buying it, it's hard to know how the seats are going to work out, unless they are really bad initially. I've had to roll a T-Shirt up and stick it in the lumbar area on a couple of our cars. But if the seat length is wrong for your thighs, you may never get comfortable. Another thing to watch out for is how the seat edge lines up with the floor pedals - if that's cockeyed, it can strain your legs.

Replying to: pbergn (Nov 07, 2008 12:45 pm) Thank you for your concern and advice... By the way, I had a typo - it is murano 2009 and NOT 2008... The car is greate, I love it, it is just the driver seat that I am not able to get used to (the passenger one, and the rear ones feel not to bad)... The cushion is a little short and is slightly slanted upwards on the driver side. The seat cannot be entirely levelled... But I assume this is not a major flow. From what I understand, most of the people find the seat pretty comfortable, so it could be for some reason I can not get adjusted, or something... Can be an individual thing, I mean... Anyway, slowly getting used to the new design... I repeat, it is a great car! Probably the best I have ever had, except for this problem...
