I have owned a murano and a aviator.But i have also driven the mdx,navigator and the land rover.I would say the murano was the best all around car.the only thing i did not like about it is traveling 8hr's with 4 adults and a child because it just seem to small.But overall the wife used it to drive 65miles a day and it got good gas milage vs the other suv no doubt! I would go with the muarno but would get a 05 and up because 04 and down has tranny problems but its warrantied untill 125k on every 1 of them.
