Seating is defo more useable than our kiddy seats. If memory serves me from my Nissan days it's the TD23 engine so should pretty much be the same as ours. I liked em but they are a little narrow and top heavy if you know what I mean so no charging around bends I'm afraid.

i had a 1995 m reg 2.3 diesel serena i was brilliant i only changed due to wife writing it of 2 years ago and a nissan mistral was all i could find at short notice engine was trouble free and was a brilliant all round car and the seating had a good setup i am thinking of getting another one but may go for a import as they have a lot more spec but you wont go wrong with a serena :thumb2

Cheers guys
Think il have a look if any local and have a shufty around one
Ones on ebay the boot space once third row of seats are used look to be enough for a pushchair

yes they are a good little van, ive worked one one once, very similar to the terrano, a lot of the interior parts are identical

the LDV cub is the same too:thumb2

Which parts of the mechanics are the same? :nenau
Different engine, gearbox, hubs are 5 bolt, ball joints are different.
Brake pads look similar though.
Both use H4 headlight bulbs too.

friend of mine has one & again he swears by it trouble free many years i also was looking at them wondered what sort of fuel consumption to expect as it looks slightly heavier than average car
