Nissan Serena 1993-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Brought from new - bargain compared to mainstream european options.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Only real costs are tyres, exhaust and to re-fill air conditioning.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Best driving position ever, which gets better with small bonnet - easy to manover, but corners have to be taken moderately.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Very sluggish with poor MPG. Shame it was not an injection engine - the only real fault with this car.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Awesome.

    Not as van-like as made out - nice suttle look, with sexy slide doors!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I wish my last 2 cars (Galaxy and Espace) could have seats and a driving position like this car.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Never any issues. Would take thieves 20 seconds to get it up to 30mph! Security generally good.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Average. Shame some dealers have less skilled staff than others.

    Problems

    Engine

    Just slow - if only they could put my Galaxy VW TDi engine into the Serena.

    Other

    Needs more car speakers! Had 2 more put in the back.
