CVT Transmission is smooth, and there's plenty of power when needed. It's not like you'll be taking a Murano to the track, or running the 1/4 in it.

Yeah that would be funny. The Murano has plenty of power and a lot of cool options like power liftgate, power rear seats (up or down from driver seat). Plus all the tech options Nissan offers. The dual pane sun/moon roof is cool as well. Very comfortable to drive for short or long trips.

I would definitely want the LE, which I think has all the options your mentioning.. I didn't know it had power down seats from the drivers seat. That is sorta cool. Thanks for the info!

Yeah it is cool, but the power up is what I thought was wild on the rear seats.

My GF's Murano does not have the CVT Transmission. However, I did get a loaner 2010 Altima from my Nissan dealership during my Z purchase (long story).

It had the CVT and I was impressed. I liked it. It was smooth, had plenty of power when I needed it (and it was only the 2.5L model), and overall felt really good.
