Detailed review:	After driving virtually every SUV on the market in the past month, I found the Murano to be the most comfortable, smooth riding, and totally refreshing vehicle out there. Looks similar to the Infiniti FX, but there's no comparison in the feel of the ride. I will be purchasing the SL FWD with the NAV pkg - lots of options, and for the price, you receive so much more than the comparable (Lexus RX330, Toyota Highlander, or even the Toureg). The styling is so unique - like it or not, you are not seeing them coming and going, as I do with the Lexus in my area. I loved the adjustable pedals in combination with the adjustability of front seat and steering wheel - it was perfect. The cargo area was more than enough. Great ease folding the rear seats down with so much leg room if not needing cargo space. Especially liked the color choices/interior leather combinations available. The resistance to roll-over rated 4 star - on par with Honda Pilot, which by the way was better than the Lexus RX or the Toyota Highlander. It is so quiet, so effortless to maneuver and just a pleaure. Not bad on gas mileage a plus, these days.
Also considered:	2004 Lexus RX 2004 Toyota Highlander 2004 Volkswagen Touareg
