I didn't want to keep talking about it in the Jeep thread so I'm making a separate thread.
Just wondering who all may have a 2015 Murano and how they like it? I know one here at least does. I test drove one over the weekend and really liked it, however there were a couple things that REALLY bothered me and turned me off.
First was the abysmal way my USB stick of mp3s was read on the head unit. On nearly every other vehicle, I can plug this USB stick in and I can then search by Artist, Album, etc... Not so on the Murano. For some reason it only lists the folders my mp3s are in, and they aren't even in alphabetical order. I could deal with a folder tree structure because everything is organized into "Artist Name" -> "Album Name" -> "song.mp3". That's not an option either, it just lists all of the "Album Name" folders in some random order.
I believe it's just as bad on the current Pathfinder as well, however I had a 2011 Rogue and it was properly organized on there. I have no idea why they regressed so much in that aspect but I couldn't figure out a way around it. The dealer showed me that when connected to an iPhone, it's properly organized into Artist, Album, etc. However this seems to ONLY work with iphones, as it didn't work with my Note 4 or my USB stick. It's a huge dealbreaker for me because it makes listening to my own music impossible.
Second was the sound system was pretty weak. One of the high points in my Jeep GC is the bass in the included sound system, and even the high end Murano sound system was pretty lousy. I could get past that if the damn thing organized my mp3s properly, but they really dropped the ball there.
I'm kind of bummed because it drove great. Acceleration was pretty good compared to other vehicles in the class I've driven, and it was very comfortable. I was nearly sold on the feel of the drive alone, but this lack of support for USB sticks really is a dealbreaker for me.
