eye level? more like head level

[Carscom]

if the video was shot from outside the window inwards at a level height it would back up my point a bit more, but no it's not exactly eye level. I meant more that it gets in the way of sideways visibility. you catch it out of the corner of your eye. But after watching the shot I totally see what you mean.

"One of the main reason you get a compact SUV over a sedan is its cargo room and utility" -- Wrong! The only reason is that they do not make compact and inexpensive wagons anymore. A Ford Focus wagon weighs 500 lbs less, has larger cargo space and better fuel economy. As for optional AWD, which your vehicle has by the way, you did not even care to try it off-road. Speaks volumes about the target market, and about the whole "necessity" of a crossover vehicle. Bring compact wagons back!

This crossover drives like a normal car, it's amazing..I like the handling and the acceleration. Compared to the CRV, this car is much more fun to drive.

@chubbydwk331 murano is amazing dude its godamn amazing the reason ppl say it sucks is cause its hella waaay over their price range (including mine) for an everyday use suv

wow it's the US version of Nissan Qashqai crossover you can get in the EU!? Interior looks quite different plus some body liftings. Still the car is really good to drive.

I'd rather choose this over the rav4 mainly cause of it's looks inside and out.

i test drove the 2010, i loved it. the interior is nice for an entry level vehicle. turns on a dime, and great suspension. it was very fun to drive. i like the cloth seats better than the leather seats.
