Vehicle advice please

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I’m thinking about buying a Nissan Serena, as I need a van, for carrying items for my business, but also need a vehicle, for carrying children.

If you have, or have had one, could you, please,tell me what was good and bad about it.

And if you had the dash or stereo head unit language changed to English, how/where? Does the DVD player turn off, on the head unit screen but keep playing on the back screen? Kids, long drives, you know what I mean.

Any advice, suggestions, warnings?
Anyone have one with less than 100,000km for sale?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
