Nissan Interstar

The Nissan Interstar is a sensible, no-nonsense panel van that puts practicality front and center, with a cavernous load area and a durable feel built for daily work. It drives with surprising composure for its size, keeps running costs modest, and feels like the kind of professional tool that prefers reliable service over flashy showboating.

Lack of soundproofing due to aerodynamics (wind noise, or noise from tire rolling — it would be helped a lot if it came from the factory with Continental tires)
Thank you.

Very good in terms of power. Less good on sound and getting in because of a protruding dashboard.
