nope SUV are great for sport in a straight line, right up until a set of corners then i think you would think otherwise.

its a silly idea to travel fast in an SUV, a silly idea that prevents me from buying one as much as it tickles my childhood fantasy of hurtling down a narrow river in a battleship with rockets.

wouldn’t put my money on it, don’t like an SUV high driving position, sorry its just me. Find it uncomforting that im not bolted as close to the ground.

Aaargh…….accidentally pressed submit comment.

Btw, continuing from my 1st paragraph, “….definite correlation with the early Honda motorbikes. It’s solely becuz of this link with the past that I like Hondas more than any other Japanese cars.”

Murano is rated 5-star by Jeremy Clarkson, which is a rarity among Japanese makes, even more rare for large SUVS!!!! That rating alone made me feel respectful of this car. As for S2000, its described by him “to hv a

Paul, why nt u make crazy race like this? The Brits do all kind of thing, race a Mazda against a dog (I did nt manage to watch this vid sadly, can upload it back, Paul?), Mitsu defeated a Lambor, Audi RS4 defeated by mountain climbers, et cetera.

this is a good car…but i rather wait for the mazda cx7!..looks a lot hotter and mazda promises a tight handlin!..well..mazda;s cars are good handlers..let it be the large mazda 6 or the nippy rx8…so ir rather put my money on tat..but the murano is a pioneer of sorts in its field though..but then again…so was the mercedes ml in the luxury suv segment..but its not the best..

aesthari : with somewhat similar power to weight ratios, its more likely the overall weight and the inersia that the murano carries into the corners. the 3secs are wasted on the braking time going into the corner, and then the time needed to rebalance the car after the corner, then step on the pedal. if she were to step on it at the axis of the corner, she will lose the rear.

very nice and impressive murano… looks more muscular with the bodykits and more importantly the sport rims! it’ll beat the other models of SUVs easily eh… thumbs up to nissan

would it be priced like a BMW X5 if it reaches our shores? lol

Very impressive, a large SUV, only 3 seconds slower than a sports car. My guess is that the Murano’s acceleration in the straights made up for what it lacks in the corners.

Capt : The Murano is a sweet ride but unfortunately in Malaysia we dont have the necessary personel to fix it if there is any wrong with the car. I’ve heard that even Nissan themselves dont have the professional staff to handle it.

HMMaster : yes there is something wrong with the video.
