Replying to: taz16 (Apr 28, 2007 8:05 am) Here is "True Reality": Manheim: 2007 Nissan Murano AWD S: For Week Ending Apr 23 Above Average Below Sale Price$23,995 $22,672 $21,349 Mileage 5,275 10,549 15,824 Total Sold All 84 62 10 For CX7 AWD (only 18 went to auction in the USA): For Week Ending Apr 23 Above Average Below Sale Price $25,661 $23,500 $21,339 Mileage 3,447 6,894 10,341 Total Sold All 18 Did your site say the Murano will cost less $/ yr. to drive? not because they get better mileage(check edmunds its less), but because you won't drive it as much as the Mazda!! So much for these programs, nobody should go by them. |

Replying to: taz16 (Apr 28, 2007 8:05 am) Styling is surely subjective, but I'd pay $800 NOT to have to drive a Murano any day.

Replying to: philmo (Apr 29, 2007 6:15 am) For 08 the V6 will probably bump in horses within the area of the maxima(255) and altima(270, I wouldn't be surprised that Nisan will squeeze more horses out of it, the most nissan tweak in the same 3.5 liter had 306 horses in the Infiniti G35 |

The CX-7 is nice but it is small imo.For me the Murano was much more comfortable.I'm getting 19.5 mpg with the Murano and i drive 90% city.I didn't want to spend that much on a small 4 banger with a turbo.It does look nice but not as nice as the bigger more comfortable Murano.I was gonna get the RAV4 V6 but it too was to small for a family of four imo.I would compare the CX-7 to the RAV4 before i would compare it to the Murano

Replying to: mike1111 (Apr 29, 2007 7:44 pm) If the CX-7 had a V6 option then I think it would be comparable, but you can't really compare a smooth CVT to a quick turbo. As someone has already said, the comparisson for the Mazda is more so the Rav4 V6, not the Murano. IMO the Murano competes with the CX-9 more than anything. Oh, and to whomever was saying that people drive the Mazda more... That's pretty silly. The Mazda gets around 4-5 mpg less in real world tests (consumer reports said it got 12 mpg in the city whereas Murano was around 16) and REQUIRES premium fuel -- something the Murano does not. Your fuel costs will be higher as will your repairs/maintenance. Now, like I said, a side-by-side of the CX-9 with the Murano would make more sense.

Replying to: mike1111 (Apr 29, 2007 7:44 pm) The Murano and CX-7 are more like grapes and grapples, not apples and oranges. Their styling is remarkably similar. In fact, I gave a ride to a friend this weekend in my CX-7 and he immediately asked "Is this a Murano?" LOL. So, my friend, trying to compare the CX-7 to the RAV4 just won't work... they are so dis-similar, that the comparison doesnt make sense. That's why you have the CX-7 vs Murano thread. I'm sure both of us agree that both the Murano and CX-7 far outclass the RAV4, don't you think? Vince.

Replying to: vbbuilt (Apr 30, 2007 3:45 am)  At any rate i'm sure you are happy with the choice you made just as i am mine.I smile most at the pump with a nice V6 getting 19.5 in the city.

Replying to: hpgator (Apr 30, 2007 3:41 am) Ya they also said it does 0-60 in 9.5 seconds, how about reading about true mileage on Edmunds? How about the fact it gets same or better with a more aggressive style of driving? Being younger, if I own both the Murano would be parked!  They are not in the same class, nor is the Rav IMO, much closer to the RDX and X3. "Your fuel costs will be higher as will your repairs/maintenance." Does $200/Yr (given they both get simillar mileage) makes it difficult for you to budget for a $25+K vehicle? Who said you have more maintenance to do? Was it CR again?
