2009 Nissan Murano LE AWD Review

The steering is precise, which improves handling. Even in the city, the big Murano efficiently threads its way. It also remains very stable in corners. The suspension and the various driving aids work wonders to prevent major mishaps. What's more, visibility is enhanced by large, power-adjustable outside mirrors. On the other hand, the rear window does not drop low enough, which makes backing up harder. But overall, the new Murano proves to be an extremely safe and confidence-inspiring vehicle.

Conclusion
The 2009 Nissan Murano is a tremendous fit for active people living in urban areas. It beautifully adapts to any road condition and it can even find a way through tight spots. With such great driving dynamics, I would recommend the Murano for long-distance trips any day of the week. The design is modern and represents a nice evolution from the previous model, while the quality is high enough to deserve an Infiniti badge.
