Murano; Super comfortable, good value, looks good inside and out.Handles as well as most carsLower price than FX35

FX35: Comrfotable but also sporty, handles better than most cars.Looks awesome inside and out, styling makes the car look very expensive, longer/better warranty than Murano

My Nissan Murano (2003 model) ran great for 40,000 miles. On 12/20/04, while driving on a highway in Houston, Texas, at 70 mph, it suddenly surged forward and the engine died. On restarting the engine would not hold. The car was towed to the nearest Nissan dealer, Robbins Nissan. The mechanic replaced the fuel pump but that did not solve the problem. Then he checked fuel pressure at the injectors that was found to be at recommended 50 psi. But fuel was not going through the injectors (all six). He tried to clean the injectors by applying gasoline with cleaner directly to the fuel rail. He even increased the fuel pressure to 70 psi. This effort did not produce any result. Then he used a set of injectors from another Murano and found that the engine runs. He blames bad gasoline in the tank of my car to be the culprit and Nissan technical advisers agree with him.However I do not agree with them and think there is some inherent problem with the injectors or the EFC (Electronic Fuel Control) system is malfunctioning intermittently. 1. There was no indication prior to the engine shutting down that injectors were getting clogged. The engine was running smoothly like in a new car. Fuel economy number was running at 18 mpg.2. The fuel tank was at ¼ full. The car ran fine on the same tank of gas till the incident.3. The dealer hinted there could have been some contaminant like sugar added to the tank. This does not seem possible since the Murano fuel tank has a lock on it. Also the car is parked in a garage at night.4. We use the same gas stations to fill gas tanks in three other cars in the family (Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Ford Cobra) and none of them has had a problem with fuel injectors.Has any Nissan car owner had a problem with fuel injectors? I’d greatly appreciate any input I can get.Thanks,Dilip DekaHouston Texas

You are going to hear good and bad things about both. I am personally happy with the Murano. If you want my opinion, if you are going to go with the infinity go with the FX45. Why skimp on engine when it's really not that much more? If you are tossing around both options I am going to guess that price is a factor. You get the same package minus a few frills with the Murano, the insurance is cheaper, and it's still a great car.

The CVT is still in its infancy honestly so that's a risk you'll have to take. So far I love the CVT - no more surging while cruising going up / down hills.

I think that either route you go you'll be happy. It just depends on how critical the pocketbook aspect of it is.

My opinion? Go with the FX45 and then the Murano in that order.

I have a 2004 murano SE and with less than 5000 kms on it, I have already encountered many problems:-Memory seat function won't work because there were missing parts-engine somtime won't start, cause the fuel pressure too low-noise from the driver side, cause the plastic lining deteriorated-button on the wheel (for switching tracks) won't work, and has to change the whole wheel, because they can't fix it with out move the air bag-AC, is not cold enough even though the dealership fill more freon gas, after acouple days it is back to the same.-display screen went crazy sometimeNOW, i m still waiting for the New wheel

problem with the service*-they don't believe me, untill i show them the problem, some problem has been fix it self ( which it didn't happen again, such as the display screen problem) some problem get worst, as the button problem, at the first couple days it only happen once a while, i bring it to them, but it seems okay in front of them, so they told me unless the whole thing is broken, or else they don't know what happen.*-memory seat problem has take me 4 trip to the dealership,1st time- can't be fix, has to order a new part2nd time- they order the wrong parts3rd time- they got the right parts, but it was for the passenger side4th time- finally done

They are building me a new car
