An excellent choice middle of the road van.
Exterior wise they have move in to the 21st century, which tends to highlight the dated interior.
All in all a good solid product with and above average warranty record.

We decided on a Nova but given what we know now I wouldn't get another. We had no end of trouble with Nova re delays and after service care. In the end it became a stand off with the dealer and Nova with us caught in the middle. We were being told one thing by the dealer and another by Nova. Ended up we didn't know who was being truthful. What was meant to be a wonderful new experience in our life has left us disappointed.

As I have said previously. Make sure you have the 1500k service or they won't want to know you should you have a problem with bearings. My opinion after checking the others, too tight from manufacturing. Burnt out the whole wheel hub assembly. Break lines melted, hub cap everything replaced $400.00 at a van site in Qld.

I now keep a regular check. I think I could have expected to last longer than 12 months.

 

Other than that, my contact at Penrith excellent on other matters.

Dick.
