1993 Nissan Serena FX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great family wagon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as yet.
General comments?
Excellent value as a large family wagon.
Excellent economy for the size, 35mpg touring.
Great equipment with twin climate-control air-con and electric everything else.
Surprisingly powerful for a small diesel. Can comfortably cruise and overtake at 100 km/h.
With the engine set well back in the chassis, it is a great deal more sure-footed than the height and narrow track would suggest. Not a sports car but just fine for general use.
Down-sides: Eight seat belts are a bit optimistic; it is a comfortable 6 seater. The dickey seat is only good for short trips. The front seats aren't that supportive on a longer trip The engine is noisy with an annoying boom around 90km/h.
