1994 Nissan Serena review from UK and Ireland
"A reliable workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing very serious.
The radiator had to be replaced.
Persistent minor squeaks from the wheels have lasted for years without finding the source.
Original Nissan garage was a complete waste of space and have used our local tiny garage workshop who have maintained the Serena excellently.
General comments?
Very reliable.
However the back seats are not comfortable, especially for anyone sitting on the join between the two halves of the bench seats. Folding away of seats is easy and very useful (rather than removal as for other makes).
Having only four doors is a handicap when having children. Children under 12 also struggle to shut the rear sliding door.
Overall it is very good no-frills car.
