[MJs]

Hi tsikot peeps,

Im considering of buying this Nissan Serena 2005 para kasing Alphard ang porma kaya lang di ko ma-afford yun dahil masyado ng mahal ang presyo ng Alphard. Ur commnets good or bad will surely be appreciated. Thanks

Pros:
Good AC, GREAT ENGINE, good handling for a van

Cons:
Kinda narrow, so it doesn't seat that many, may drink a lot of gas if you get the AT. Have heard from service people at Nissan of some problems with the earlier AT models, so I guess it's better to get the manual.

I have a 2003 model M/T. It has a very comfortable quite ride, lots of legrooms. It also have a spacious cabin even if it looks narrow from the outside.
It averages around 9 km/liter city driving.

2nd row lang ba yung captain's chairs, or pati third row?

[tip_tipid]

sa 2003 model na labas sa pinas, first row lang ang captain seat, second and third rows are bench type sliding and can be fully reclined to have a nice flat area to play,
or you can slide them all the way to the front/back for more cargo space.

Pros:
- good suspension and comfy interior
- engine (SR20DE!)
- dual sliding doors with power windows.
- Fuel consumption (w/ the m/t model)
- Value-for-money with the 2nd hand units (you can find pretty low mileage ones at a low price)

Cons:
- Dumihin interior
- Fuel consumption (w/ the a/t model)
- The 2nd row passengers have to go down to give the 3rd row passengers access.

the 2nd row captains chairs are optional... not all have them.

I had a 2002 a/t, 5km/liter lang consumption. dami rattles, hindi rin napatino yung vcd changer. sold it 2004, good riddance!

check nissan japan website, new look na ang 2005 serena. better not buy the old local current version.

Hmm... another good reason not to get the AT!

maganda nga, but the engine is not fit for it, medyo hirap..kaya mas matipid pa ang xtrail 2.5L,e...
