I’ve always wanted one. I finally bought one this month. It’s epic and awful and amazing
This is definitely not the first AWD convertible, Audi had the Cabriolet (that was its name) in the 90's and the TT throughout the 2000's, with AWD (though optional).
We never get our proper credit 🤷🏽♂️💯
Pretty sure there was some convertible awd Lamborghinis before the Murano too
Depending on how you look at it, the Willy's jeep was an AWD convertible...
He may have meant in Nissan's lineup, not in general
Yeah, I also instantly knew that wasn't correct. Mitsubishi made the 3000GT VR4 Spyder as early as 1995.
I remember seeing one of these at a Nissan dealer in Miami in 2012. It was weird looking back then and 50k or so price tag
this one was originally 47K with taxes and warranties
At least Nissan tried something different. Unfortunately, two-door convertible SUVs like this and the Range Rover Evoque convertible weren't what anyone was looking for. I wouldn't call it ugly, just unique.
I think they were asking too much money for it. I'm curious if a boxy small crossover coupe or maybe a coupe with rear suicide doors would sell well?
Make it just really rugged looking. And tbh it would depend on the brand. If Toyota made a crossover version of a FJ and kept the price under 30k they would probably fly off the shelves.
I actually like both of them, but they were out of my price range when new. I don’t know if I would trust either one used if I could even find one for sale now.

I have heard that top has a bunch of sensors and is very difficult to repair. If there are issues. the Nissan dealership will not touch the convertible top and acts like this car doesn't even exist. If you have issues with the convertible top, you will have to find a independent mechanic to repair, good luck with that!
Yep a few years ago I saw 10k repair bills on the forums.
Around 2016 I was working at a Nissan dealer and a customer under warranty had a convertible top issue and it was repaired under warranty. The Top had to be replaced and the warranty claim was close to 12k.
Great review! Note: I think the front passenger headrest is flipped the wrong way
Doug DeMuro just entered the chat
People bash the Aztec, but honestly, I think the Aztec looks decent. But this Nissan, I absolutely can’t stand looking at it for some reason😂
Nissan had weird cars in the 2010's. Interesting that they offer a heated steering wheel on a convertible. On the Toyota Corolla, they only offered the heated steering wheel in Canada and not the United States
well canada is special. its cold overall in the worst of areas of certain buyers. why did honda cave on 1.5 l issues there ? The cold. Sad they thought the states buyers didn't notice, despite same complaints. Honda makes great engines, but who the hell approve the 1.5l ? Too efficient was the excuse. Nah Honda - transmission blow ups we ignore. Fuck an engine, and you can suck it and take the wrath.
This is definitely one of five 21st century cars I would not mind owning
don't dare that cvt and engine combo. I was literally getting free oil changes around that time as the dealer that also sold nissans. So many suv nissan cvts getting the kiss goodbye, and the normal women turning to karens after being fucked with either walking home, waiting 5 hours for a ride or getting what they deserved - a prompt loaner until tossing the POS. I'm a mopar fan to death myself. Even i say to average people to stay the hell away from certain products and such. Sometimes it is because someone won't notice a domino issue of typical neglect, it isn't a proper product to get, or it is unproven for what they risk. The late model Dart for instance. i know too much about that potential wonder car from too may aspects, but I couldn't ever suggest one. Never buy this nissan unless you just want to watch it decay, or want to drive you literally nuts. it is just shit. period.
i have normal 09 Murano, love it to death, unfortunately at 265k the timing chain just failed (Most would think the CVT would’ve been killer! LOL, 265k on it and the cvt runs like new)
Send it to nissan to study. maybe they can fix the shit tons that went out at 20-40k.
So cool that the original owner still has it and has kept it in great condition 12 years later. To most of us this car is appealing out of novelty but sounds like this is Beth's ideal car!
As someone who use to drive cool modded cars like a overland lexus GX470, but now drives a white model 3, i kinda want a super weird quirky car and this would be sick just because of how weird it is. I would want it in that sea foam green color with a white top to just be super wack.
that is true car culture
I also would ADORE to meet Beth, the owner of a Murano Cross Cabriolet with leopard print mats
I didn't believe these existed until I saw one in person last year
I can't decide weather or not I like it...
some of the things people are willing to buy amaze me. Someone walked into a Nissan Dealership in 2010 or 2011 and straight face ordered that then paid for it. How other worldly.
It was odd when it was new , I would buy one now
This car was ahead of its time
I don't see how that could be true.
@@doug6191 with people buying up coupe suvs like the bmw x6, audi q8 and mercedes glc coupes like hotcakes... Yes it was. If nissan made an infiniti branded coupe SUV convertible, it would sell like the bmw x6. This was just slightly too early in the suv craze
@Shiinamusiclyricssubs None of the examples you offer are convertibles. The only othe convertible crossover that I can recall is the Range Rover, and that also sold poorly, indicating that it's still not time for a convertible crossover. The Nissan wasn't ahead of a time that doesn't exist.
If anything, Acura's ZDX was ahead of its time, as that awful model preceded the BMW, Mercedes, and Audi "cOuPe" crossovers by several years.
Your final thought summed it up well. It was like a Swiss Army knife, but none of the blades or doo dads in said knife ended up being very useful. The ride was fine for cruising as long as the road was nice. The trunk was a joke considering its a suv, and at close to 50k was expensive. Styling is subjective, but I think they look weird versus luxurious. Also Nissan claimed it was the first AWD convertible crossover...not just AWD convertible.
I love this car, I love the murano and the evoque cabriolet.
Was dying laughing watching your reaction to putting the top back up LOL
There are so many coupes/suvs made by the Germans today but what makes this cool is the drop top for sure only Nissan could’ve pulled this off nowadays these things are expensive af 🤷🏽♂️
Just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago. Great videos, great cars, great reviews. Keep it up. Subscribing!
great video, you look like you are enjoying yourself!
Power top operation/design seems to be the same as the 350Z roadster you reviewed, just on a larger scale (5 motors)... that one had a different VQ though, the HR.
Zack, This is like one of those Geo Metro 'Bathtub' convertibles built to a larger scale. 😉
The biggest misstep since they had already engineered two-door version was not offering a hardtop Coupe to pick up sales from people looking for big comfy 2 door cars like the t-bird Monte Carlo or even more luxury cars like eldorados or Mark series, they're still is a market for large two-door cars, more than there are for convertibles, and once you've already engineered the two-door and windows for this body style, it would be very easy to attach a fixed roof to help sales volume of the model .
Chrysler made the same mistake with the PT cruiser, only offered a two-door in the convertible completely abandoning the prolithic sleek, cool two-door hatchback market with a cleaner, sleeker design as the original concept car was shown.
I’d G35 manual swap it ,turbo kit,lower it switch exhaust , tune this would be sick sleeper drop suv .
Can you imagine the energy of the folks who upgraded from an Altima to this thing? Blocking grocery store entrances without a care in the world.
I worked at a Nissan dealership in Canada that imported a few of these back in the early 2010s. The first three left the showroom almost instantly. Then the four after sat on the lot for months before discounted heavily and eventually sold.
This was never officially sold in Canada so no warranty claims, no service manuals, and the most important of all, no one that knows to how to work on the top.
One of the guys that bought one new loved it so much that he bought another one from a shady used car dealer.
So cool to watch this!
I don't know why people hate these so much. They are super cool and more SUVs/CUVs should come like this.
Beth loved your review and agrees with most of your points.
I've personally always recoiled at the look of it with the top up, but top down i dont think it looked half bad.
I really think this car would have done better as a coup hatch with a hard top that just kind of slid back under the hatch and road on a little tray that went up and down with the hatch. Having a roof line profile more akin to the Callaway C7 Corvette Aerowagon shooting brake.
Not because it would look better though some may like it better, but because it could retain more SUV functionality, though rear visibility would probably be even worse.
But this would give you a proper B pillar, and could have allowed for the rear seats to fold down/come out and access/extend the rear cargo like a normal SUV
To clarify, she disagrees on opinion points.
@@denvera1g1 What an interesting piece of automotive history you folks own... I hope you enjoy it for generatioins! :-)
@@ethann_browne Thank you.
I own the cadillac limo he reviewed a while back :)
Honesty both are such fun cars
This is definitely one of the cars of the year 😅
I love those leopard skin floor mats. grrrrrrrrr!
Sounds like Beth would also enjoy the evoque cabriolet!
My phone is definitely listening in on me. Just the other day I saw one of these in the wild and said out loud, “Is that a convertible Murano?” Such an odd car!
I can't take this car seriously.
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee I had a 2007 Nissan Altima with the CVT. I got rid of it within a year and took a bath on the resale. Lesson learned.
Neither did Nissan buyers. This was an expensive flop.
The impracticality of sport coupe with the awful handling of a an SUV along with being overpriced sums up some reasons why it failed.
I always wanted one in that green that looks like Volvo’s flash green.
What's up with the drivers head rest being different from the rest of the seats? Granted, the back might be an exception, because those are also different from both front seat passengers... Weird
Now do the Evoque convertible review!
I think crossovers do not serve a purpose so I love this vehicle. Definitely in a dream five car garage but probably would bump something out to squeeze it in three.
Nissan knows how to make a handsome car.
This is what happens when you tell a computer to design a awd crossover that is a convertible
2:23 - How is visibility above? 🤔
Very cool😊
Can we get range rover evoke convertible
Wait is the front passenger headrest on backwards? 😆
SO this passes the BFB test, i need to sell my TourX for this. lmao
Iv always liked this vehicle. Sad it wasn't popular.
Now you just need to review the Land Rover Evoque convertible
The official car of “ungh I only date college guys”
The population should only have fun in virtue reality racing (Foza,Gran Truism).
Am I the only one who noticed that the front passenger headrest is backwards 🤔??
i don't know why do people hate this car, i drive myself Lada 1300
Who decided that those floor mats were a good look? .Jackie Stallone ??.
Coool 😀
Am I the only person who thinks it's shaped like a frog? 😂
precisely its a nissan juke
The crosscabriolet is a "fun" vehicle for people who think driving itself isn't any fun.
You had me right up until you said CVT. On a V6 why you gotta be kidding
Another exhibit in the case against calling the Aztek the ugliest vehicle ever made.
That platform had potential though, I find the rendezvous decently attractive
so Fugly that Range Rover said... ok Challenge Accepted.
geo tracker of the 2010s
Thanks Carlos Ghosn’s wife!
Thats an suv?? Isn't that a crossover?
I cannot stand looking at this thing omg. What a weird looking car.
It didn’t sell well due to it being an overpriced tub on wheels. Plus, SUVs are designed for practicality. Pathetic cargo space.
Ce véhicule était moche à l'époque, il est toujours moche 15 ans plus tard. Heureusement qu'on ne l'a pas eu en Europe.
Still remains to be the ugliest modern car I have seen.
