If you set the correct speed oh approach to the bend, however, you have time to maximise stability before you turn the steering wheel. This is done by applying a “balanced

England were elimi nated from the competition at the quarter final stage, yet thousands of drivers are still displaying their patriotism with pride - albeit at a cost. The flags fixed to thousands of car windows have cost UK drivers £6 mil lion in extra fuel bills. Tests have revealed that each flag can increase the drag on a by as much as one mile per gallon. With petrol prices at a recent high, it is reassuring to see so many patriotic Englanders still pre-

Unfortunate drivers in the Moselle region of France, however, were pretty pleased when the A31 was shut for three hours.

magic. Finding th a t groove proves
beyond most mere mortals and the same goes for building cars. Lately, one manufacturer has made it look supremely effortless. Nissan has realised that the answer is simple - build great products. The Murano is just the latest in a long line of crack- erjack Nissans. The Murano’s underpinnings are
as unconventional as its togs. The saloon car chassis combines with a detuned version of the 350Z’s V6 engine, all mated to a version of the 4x4 system seen on the X-Trail. It all sounds something of a bastard combination, but from this amal gam of disparate elements comes an attractive whole. Given that it coin- prises so many parts I would hesi tate to call it greater than the sum of said parts, but you get the idea. The engine cranks out 245 b.h.p.,
which is more than enough for what is a surprisingly compact vehicle. Needless to say, with this sort of power at its elbow, the Murano does not hang around. It will bludgeon its

' Drive is directed to the front wheels in normal conditions, only being sent astern should things get slippery. A switch can lock the 4x4 system in place if things get very slippery. In truth, the Nissan’s con ventional s trut front suspension, multi- link rear and limited ground clearance combine to reduce its off road capabilities tp little more than trail and track duty, but you will not mind when you sample its assur-

like and moves the game a few notches beyond what was considered the class standard. You will pay a penalty in terms of ride comfort, but most will put up with a little more bump and thump in return for the excellent body control. Drive the Murano down the sort
of longitudinally rutted surface that comprises many British B-roads and there is none of that wobbly head syndrome th a t afflicts many 4x4 drivers. Instead, it sits foursquare on the road. The driving position is a good few inches lower than most compact 4x4s and although it is BMW X5 sized, the Murano feels as wieldy as something like an X3.
The Murano has struck a chord in
the US where it is shifting 5,000 units every month. With a price tag that many will still see as quite an ^ ask for a Nissan, will it succeed over here in the land of the £4 gallon? I cannot see i t becoming anything more than a specialist niche car. Buyers in this market are after the sort of image and residuals that only come with the brand equity of a pre mium badge. Nissan has conquered a number of
other markets previously thought beyond it and the Murano is a very strong product. Whether this is a stretch too far for British buyers remains to be seen.
