First long Trip

[Hmason]

Hello all. Thought this would be of interest. Just completed a 2,500 mile drive from CT to MO and back. Here's what I observed about my new 2009 Murano SL with Premium, Tech, dual moonroof, leather, xenon lites and no nav:Excellent comfort for both my wife and I. She said it was the first car we've owned that did not leave her with a backache after several hours of travel. (She drives a 2007 BMW 328 XI) Excellent climate control in outside temps from 2 degrees F to 60 degrees F, great sound system, quiet ride, plenty of power, performs POORLY with 87 octane, performs wonderfully with 89 octane, and little perceptible gain in performance with 91- 93 octane. Averaged 22.5/mpg with mostly highway (70 mph +) driving. Xenon lights are worth every penny, heated seats are appreciated. Only two nitpics: no memory seats is a pain as I am 5'8", and wife is 5'0" AND, the fact that there is no dashboard indication that the fog lights are on really is annoying. That's how it looks from here!

Thanks for the mini-review! It is much appreciated by all! You know, on the LE model there is memory seats, I thought it was available on the SL as well????

[Hmason]

Nope, no memory seats on the SL. Perhaps with the Nav package but I'm not sure.

Memory seat (and power steering column adjustment) only come on the LE.
