I bought a new SE in the summer of 2004 and still drive it daily now in 2019. I can attest to its durability! Bad ones first: I had the gauge display in the middle of the dashboard, not in front of the steering wheel. Strange place and with little buttons and signs it took sometimes to learn where they are. About 60-70,000 miles the shift sensors died and the engine died while idle in a congested highway. Put in neutral and restart worked. Had it changed and no more issue. Batteries changed at least 4 times. Front axles changed. 3 Motor mounts broke and replace. Radiator busted about 120,000 miles so replaced along with hoses. Control arms replaced because having alignment issues and tech couldn't realign, but after this tires wear a lot less. Spark plugs and ignition coils (6) replaced twice. Brake pads and rotor replaced twice.The digital display rebuilt (find an ebay repair but had to uninstall and shipped the unit, see utube instruction) because missing pixels. I mostly did the maintenance myself by watching youtube. With all of these bad's, transmission was never a problem; it was silky smooth to this day. AC runs cold. It still runs strong, though creaking sounds occasionally heard, and it has a very small oil leak. Also check engine light on/off by itself occasinally coming from the catalytic converter or oxygen sensors but gone away after car wash. All these I ignore! The rest of the system works, ie sunroof, navigation, TV's, bose radio, etc. Still hang on and drive it daily pushing 200,000 miles Update 2/2020 It is now over 200000 miles and keeps going daily. Transmission is still as smooth as the day it’s out of the dealership

$38000 piece of junk. Leaks they can't fix, squeaks and rattles they can't find. From week to week it has been endless trips back to dealership for more bull. Windows go down, but not up, doors on side both rattle, even the radio had to be replaced, due to a bad one. Compression leaks, exhaust leaks, and when it rains, watch out. They can't find where it is coming in from, so deal with it. I was told that windows are not going up, because i don't give the relays time to adjust, funny just drivers side. Warped rotors, brakes etc.I have ust 10,000 miles on this junk heep. Nissan extended warrenty, 50,OOO MILES 6 YEAR. Like im going to keep this this long! Should have gotten the Honda.

After driving all comers in the segment this is the one that my wife had to have. So far it has been a great purchase and has stopped all the hitting and fighting in the back seat. We have had a few issues: As everyone else states we have had the door rattles. This was recently fixed by the 3rd dealership we visited. When the van is left outdoors overnight and the temperature gets below freezing all the electronics except the throttle cease to work. This is very inconvenient in the middle of nowhere. the problem sorts itself out and the dealership has been unable to recreate the issue. I have turned the brake rotors once and am ready to do so again. I am sure this is due to wife's driving
It's fun to drive

I've had my minivan over a year now and I still love it. The model is the 3.5 SE, It has all the skylights, bells and whistles. Mine is dark gray with the rouge and black interior. We took it on a family vacation last year from Massacusetts to Washington DC, to South Carolina. I have 3 kids and there was room for all of them, and all the luggage we brought with us. I have the 2 DVD package, and the navigation system and it definitely was worth the money.
