  My dad has the Murano and loves it; I've driven his car a bunch of times and we test drove a new model last spring as well. We liked the car, but ultimately decided on something different.

  I had a Murano as a rental, and while it was comfortable, the trunk space was tiny.  Our single travel system stroller took up the entire trunk, so if you are going to get a double stroller, I am not sure it is going to fit.

  I haven't driven either but I LOVE the way the Toyota Venza looks.  And you can't really go wrong with a Toyota.

  My vote is always for a Toyota product!  They are just really awesome cars.  I haven't driven either of the ones you are asking about.  If you are going to buy through a Dealer Big G might be able to get you a hook up.  Let me know if you want me to ask him.

  I haven't seen a Venza but the Murano was on the top of my list for quite some time.    Yay for looking at a new car!  (BTW - if you are thinking about a used volvo, my neighbor is getting rid of hers - it was a lease and the lease is up this month.  Very well taken care of  and it's that dark gray color).
  

  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

  I've driven the Murano and I'm not a fan.  I feel like there's just not enough room around your head (I felt like I was up in the windshield) and there wasn't as much cargo room as I would like in a crossover.

  I'd say Toyota or Honda anyday.  I haven't driven or been in the Venza though.  I PPH love my pilot, there's sooo much room!  We did the consumer report what car should I buy app, you select your price range, the importance of reliability, safety, yada yada and pilot was the big winner in safety and reliability with the amount of room I wanted.  Food for thought

  I have a friend with a Murano and she loves it.  I've ridden in it and it's really nice.  A coworker has a Venza, and I'm assuming she likes it but we haven't actually talked about it.  I know Toyotas have great reliability.  I'd check Consumer Reports or something similar to see their reviews.

  Hey Mel! We own a Nissan Altima. We have had some issues with it. After some research, it seems that those issues can be common with Nissans in general. I would definitely look at Consumer Report.

  We have become Honda people, but we also looked closely at Toyota when we were shopping last Spring.

   Have fun!
