2011 AWD MKX replaces a 2003 Murano
Our experience with only 350 miles and 4 days has been without any problems. The delivery experience was excellent. The salesman spent as much time as we needed on his day off (Christmas Eve) to reveiw with us the features/technology on the car and to set-up our cell phone and other basics. Our car has Gen 2 software and has been very stable. Some initial observations: The car feels much more substantial then the Murano but then it weighs about 400 lbs. more; It tracks better then the Murano on the highway, fewer minor wheel corrections needed; The THX sound system is outstanding, much better then the BOSE Murano; There should be a detent in the gear selector between drive and manual - it's too easy to shift into manual; I agree with others regarding the ergonomics of the front doors; The flip down device for the rear seats does not work if the car is on a slight upward incline.
So far we are very pleased with our purchase. I have wanted to buy a North American product for many years and it seems this car finally meets foreign competition in build quality, performance, and materials while beating the competition in technology. Safe, solid, quiet, comfortable, and enjoyable to drive. A good car!
