NISSAN SERENA (1993-2002)尼桑瑟琳娜(1993-2002)
This is the vehicle that many people unfairly overlook when considering a used people carrier.许多人认为这是不公平的车辆时忽略了人们使用的载体. As recently as 1996, however, the Serena outsold the car that started the European MPV ball rolling, Renault?s Espace.最近96年,百事可乐的瑟琳娜车启动欧洲巡逻艇坐稳,雷诺?收盘协商. Available new and used at prices well below those of most of the competition, Nissan?s high-sided hold-all makes sense if, like many family buyers, price is all.可用于新的价格远低于其他大多数比赛尼桑?收盘高片面暂缓一切有道理如果像许多家庭购买,价格是所有. The Spanish-built Serena is based heavily on the Japanese original, itself derived from a van.西班牙建成瑟琳娜是以依赖日本原来,自己从一辆面包车. Compromises had to be made for the European market, though the main one, narrow width, is actually appealing to many buyers.不得不作出妥协,欧洲市场,虽然其中主要的、窄宽度其实很多吸引买家. It makes the car easier to manoeuvre in narrow streets but also results in high-sided styling.它使汽车易于操纵的结果,而且在狭窄的街道高片面造型. Because Nissan didn?t have to spend billions designing a people carrier from scratch, the Serena is sold at prices that undercut most of the new (and used) competition.由于尼桑雾化?笔会花几十亿人母设计一个从无到有、瑟琳娜卖出的价格低于大多数新(用)的竞争. To be fair, you won?t be buying a vehicle that handles as well as some sophisticated European competitors but you will get a well-equipped family car, readily available on the used market, at prices that give it the edge over most rivals.平心而论,你赢了?笔会买一辆车,以及一些尖端处理欧洲竞争者,但你会得到一个设备齐全的家庭轿车,用现成的市场,它的价格优势让大多数的对手.
HISTORY历史
The Serena arrived in the showrooms in January 1993 and was available with three different engines.陈列室的瑟琳娜在1993年1月抵达,并与现有三种引擎. There were 1.6 and 16-valve 2.0-litre versions as well as a 2.0-litre diesel.有1.6和16气门2.0公升版本以及2.0公升柴油. A newer, bigger 2.3-litre diesel replaced the original unit two years later.更新、更大的2.3公升柴油改为两年后原单位. This and the introduction of a 16-valve version of the 1.6-litre engine in July 1996 were the only major mechanical changes to the Serena range so far.这和引进了16气门版本的1.6公升引擎1996年7月被唯一的大型机械变动幅度瑟琳娜为止. A new Excursion trim level arrived in mid ?96 and this and the SLX gained standard air conditioning (always a selling point with used MPVs) in May 1997.新浪漂移级别中旬抵达?96岁,这个标准积累和部位空调(总是用同一个卖点mpvs)1997年5月.
The 2.3 diesel models were only ever available with sliding doors on both sides though Serenas with other engines had either a passenger-side sliding door or the dual-door arrangement.230型号的柴油只有不断滑动大门两侧可供serenas虽然与其他发动机已客运方滑门或双门安排.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
A utilitarian vehicle, really, but nobody ever bought a people-mover for sports car handling or limousine ride.功利车,真的,但是没有人买了人为的推动跑车或办理转乘专车. The interior is light and flexible in the way it can be arranged.内政部又轻又灵活,这样可以安排. For example, you can turn the Serena into a minibus, van or half and half, simply by removing or re-positioning the seats.例如,你可以把瑟琳娜入一辆面包车,面包车或一半,干脆取消或重新定位的席位.
Versatility depends on the model you choose; both entry-level GX and SLX models allow you to travel eight-up.多才多艺取决于你选择的模式;无论入门级型号gx和部位,使你的旅行8. The second sliding door is certainly a boon, particularly if you're unloading children or shopping beside busy roads.二是滑门兴叹,尤其是如果你卸下繁忙道路旁的儿童或购物. If you're consigned to the rearmost seats, easily accessed through the middle row, then you might be surprised at how comfortable you are.如果你托运的步足席位中轻易浏览连续然后你可能会惊讶于你怎么舒服. In fact, legroom for all rear passengers is very good (much better than in the Mitsubishi Space Wagon).事实上,所有后座乘客legroom很好(比三菱太空旅行车).
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
You?re looking at a minimum of about £2,300, which should be enough to put a 1.6-litre K-reg LX four-door in your driveway.你?再看看最低约为2300英镑,这足以把一条1.6公升的K再生lx四门车贵. Pay up to another £600 and you can have a younger 94L car, or, if your budget will stretch to around £3,300, you could have a 95N-plater.另支付高达600英镑,而你可以有年轻九亿四千一百万车,或者如果你的预算将舒展约3300英镑,你可以有95n-薄板. The 16-valve five-door GX versions are mostly N to W-platers with prices ranging from under £3,500 to £6,200.16气门五门gx版本大多东经钨platers以3500英镑不等的价格在6200英镑.
For 2.0-litre petrol Serenas, expect to pay less than £2,500 for the first five-door 1993K SLX examples.为2.0公升汽油serenas,比预期少付2500英镑的首个大门1993k部位例子. A 94L-plater will be about £2,800 and a 96N about £3,900 and late-plate 00W Excursion models are around £7,000.一九亿四千一百万-薄板将约2800英镑和3900英镑,约96n、下旬板块漂移模型00w7000英镑左右.
A diesel 2.3 will cost you at least £3,300 for the earliest 95M-reg LX five-door versions, while N-platers start at about £3,500.柴油二月三日你至少将耗资3300英镑的最早95M号-再生lx五门版本而氮platers晚上约3500英镑. A more luxurious SLX will be about £3,500 on a 95M or around £5,800 with a 99T-plate, while an eight-seater 98R-reg should be roughly £5,000.更豪华舒将约为3500英镑5800英镑左右的95M号或用99t平板、而八人座西瓜--再生应大致5000英镑.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
There are, perhaps, unsurprisingly, very few areas to watch with the Serena.还有,或许想得到,很少看地方与瑟琳娜. Shock absorbers tend to get quite a work-out if the car has been driven regularly with a full complement of passengers and luggage.避震往往得相当工行若车已全部驱动定期旅客和行李.
Push down on the bonnet and the body should resist sagging.推击头盖及机构应抵制低迷. If it bounces back, the shock absorbers will need replacement.若好转时,将需要更换的避震. Mechanically, though, the rest of the Serena?s underpinnings are long lasting and reliable but watch for rattly or smoky engines as worn camshafts are not unknown.机械高下其余的瑟琳娜.可靠的依据是长期观察rattly但还是没有黑烟引擎磨损凸轮轴不明.
Interior trim may have had a hard life at the hands of the young children.内政部浪也许曾艰难生活的小朋友手中. Don?t forget to check the electric windows and door-locks, if fitted, as well as both electric sunroofs and air conditioning standard on many of the more recent models.鲍思?笔会忘记检查电动窗门上锁,如果装、以及两个电动sunroofs空调标准近期不少较典型.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx. for a 1995 1.6) Expect to pay around £160 for a full clutch assembly, about £270 for a complete exhaust system (excluding catalyst), up to £180 for a front headlamp and about £300 for a starter motor.(约为19951.6)期待支付了约160英镑,全部装配离合器、约270英镑,为彻底排气系统(不含催化剂)多达180英镑的前照灯和前一段约300英镑起动马达.
Brake pads are up to £60 front and £50 for the rear set, around £195 should buy a new radiator and an alternator is about £290.刹车皮可高达50英镑1960年英镑和后方阵地每套大约195英镑买了一个新的发电机和散热器约290英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Handling is well controlled as is body roll ?正如身体是处理好控制滚动? a bugbear with many cars of this type.一想到有很多这种车. It helps that the engine is positioned under the front seats instead of the bonnet, giving the Serena better all-round balance.帮助下,发动机的位置不是在前排座位头盖,瑟琳娜给予更好的全方位平衡.
Around town, driving could hardly be easier thanks in part to the narrow design ?城市周围,难以驾驶致谢部分狭窄容易设计? a real advantage in nip-and-tuck traffic.真正裨益债券及掖交通. The clutch, gearbox and steering are all as light as you could want and the brakes are powerful and progressive (with anti-lock on the later SLX and Excursion models).离合器、变速箱和转向都轻如你所想、刹车和进强(防抱死对后来舒和出游型号).
OVERALL 总体
Lots of room, yet this Nissan takes up a minimum of space in the garage and costs a lot less to run than most of the competition.不少室但这尼桑占用空间最少的车库和经营成本少了很多,比大多数的比赛. For what you pay, the Serena is excellent value.为您付出,是极有价值的瑟琳娜.
