So many decisions..I appreciate all this feedback guys!

P.S. LOOVE the color of your 40th anniversary edition, DJpathfinder!

Thanks! I just took some pics of my new Z, so I'll post them up some time soon.

I love my FX and would highly recommend it to anyone. Back in Dec 2004 when we were looking to buy a new vehicle, we were expecting our first child, so a sports car was out of the question. The FX was the closest thing I could get that fulfilled that desire...Not the most spacious SUV by any means, but sportiness was important for me in addition to the ability to put a baby seat in the back. That held me over till now...I've always been a big fan of the Z car. Just picked mine up 10 days ago (walked in at the right time on a 40th anniversary edition that wasn't spoken for), and I'm glad I did even though it's still a highly illogical purchase. Oh well, you only live once.

Well..I went to the website and by the time I configure one similar to the Murano with the Nav..its over $50k

The Sticker price on the Murano is $39K. I already know what my husband will say. hehe...

But I may still go look....

Same questions...the CVT transmission? Love it or hate it? I haven't driven one yet..but I hear both~ Need to get over and drive one I guess.

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 actually stopped a lady at Costco today after she got our of her car (Murano) and asked her how she liked it. She said he liked it alot, drove well, etc. I didn't spring the 'so, do you like the CVT transmission thing" on her because I didn't want her to think I was a total freak..lol.. She did say that it drives "just like the Maxima" drives, which is why she likes it. So..whatever that means. I drove by the Nissan dealer today and they have a PG Murano there...hmmmm

Anything's gotta be better than this H2. LOL!

I need to go to the Infiiniti dealer...

Now my husband is trying to talk me into a Denali. Ugh... SOO not sporty.

CrownR426 · 04-20-2010, 12:06 PM

Denali

FX

haha if you like the styling, what bout a flat 6 subie outback =]. sweet awd system, never get stuck in anything. not the most GUTSY car ever but to pull a bit of practicality back into this its not too expensive and very spacious

.

another thing to look at might be acura =\, mdx or even zdx (the funky batmobile lookin thing), SH-AWD which is again a hellova system, and its a honda so it wont break down annnnnytime soon.
