1997 Nissan Serena DGX review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and nasty, don't waste your money on one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear exhaust box failed at 28,000 miles (3 years and three weeks old).
Leaking radiator due to stone damage (poor design) at 30,000 miles.
Offside radio speaker failed at 19,000 miles.
Both rear wheel cylinders leaking at 41,000 miles.
General comments?
This car is very noisy due to the engine location (mid position)
Prone to very dangerous swerving in 'cross winds' at speeds above 60 miles per hour.
Braking is very poor.
Handling is appalling.
Acceleration, 0-60 in 28 seconds!
