Does anyone have a Nissan Murano or a Ford Edge?

Sauer Grapes · 01-18-2012, 11:19 AM

How do you like them? How has the reliability been?

We are also considering the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, but my wife likes the Murano and Edge better.

I am a big fan of the Highlander, David. I owned an 05 until I bought a 2010 and sold the 05 to my daughter.

Interesting. Is a newer one? I've been checking out the Edmunds forums and it looks like transmission issues aren't uncommon, unfortunately.

J0eybb · 01-18-2012, 01:07 PM

2007. It was just out of warranty 50k+ miles, but Ford covered it anyway. I only assumed that it was common if they helped her anyway.

Roughly what mileage do you get out of the 2010 Highlander?

kydsid · 01-18-2012, 01:52 PM

Haven't had either, but I will say the Murano has a variant or has the venerable VQ35DE V6 which is one of the best engines of all time. I have had a couple vehicles with that engine, its awesome and reliable beyound reproach.

Now if the Murano has Nissan's CVT run the hell away. They have never gotten the CVT right and I'm a big Nissan fan.

I have driven both and have to say the ride and driveability I like the Edge better.

If you are interested in reliability and mpg rating try www.truedelta.com. You can see all their data just by answering their questionaire about your current vehicle.

Sauer Grapes · 01-18-2012, 01:59 PM

Thanks for the link. The Murano does have the CVT (as does my current altima hybrid). I know they extended the CVT warranties to 120,000 miles or 10 years on all their vehicles, which is nice, but also unsettling if they felt they had to do that.

I know that the Murano doesn't get great reliability ratings on Edmunds.

I own a 2009 Highlander and I'm a huge fan. The thing rides like a car. Very solid ride that gets around 17-20 (sometimes more)mpg on the highway.

Blak Smyth · 01-18-2012, 02:04 PM

I own a 2009 Ford Edge, it is a good car.
Handles excellent, can't complain about anything.
I have 100,000 miles on it already. Never had any issues.

Fordman4ever · 01-18-2012, 02:19 PM

Ford has really been working out their issues lately. Their newer model vehicles are just awesome.

I was wrong, it's a 2008!!!

And there is one problem, the battery terminals get corroded sometimes and need cleaned when we have a state inspection. I think it has happened twice.

J0eybb · 01-18-2012, 02:23 PM

I want an F250 if that matters. I'm not sure I can give up my 2 door coupe.

Fordman4ever · 01-18-2012, 02:38 PM

I love the super duty. such a mean looking truck. I want one really bad.

The lifetime mpg "average" for my Edge is 20. It is a limited. It is loaded minus navigation.
I have owned it since new, and I have a friend that has purchased a used one without any issues.
I personally don't like the way the Nissans look, but can't say anything about quality.

Chainsaw13 · 01-18-2012, 03:02 PM

I have a 2011 Edge AWD SEL. It's been a good vehicle. Gets upwards of 26-27 mpg on the highway doing 70-72, about 17-19 in the city. I've had a couple minor issues that were fixed under warranty, things like a door seal making noise, nothing major. This past weekend I towed two snowmobiles in a covered trailer and got 14mpg.

Once they get the newest version of the My Ford Touch out, itll fix that system.

David,I'll add a +1 for the Ford product/s.
They as a company have really stepped up their engineering and quality.
I'm pretty sure we'll replace the wife's explorer with an Edge.

I checked last night and this is much closer to what I get out of my 6 cyl Sport.

BigCat · 01-19-2012, 09:42 AM

My mom has had an edge for a few years now. She has to have about 130,000 miles on it - hasn't had any problems.

My sister-in-law has one as well, but it has only been about a year. She loves it and hasn't had any problems.
