With some reluctance: Nissan Serena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

By 2001, the Nissan Serena was described as the worst new car sale on Britain by Top Gear's Buyers Guide, with "absolutely nothing to recommend it for".
Although the Nissan Serena handles better than most people expect it to (due to its mid-mounted engine), its power-to-weight ratio is particularly poor, as shown by the 0–100 km/h averages listed below. The only models with marginally acceptable acceleration are powered by the SR20DE engine.
Nissan Serena 1.6i 16V (1,597 cc), 0–100 km/h: 18 s
Nissan Serena 2.3 D J-V Pack, 0–100 km/h: 27.8 s
Nissan Serena 2.0i 16V (1,998 cc) SR20DE, 0–100 km/h: 12.5 s

27.8 seconds! Imagine that. It is uncomfortable to hold your breath that long, and you would if you had to merge into a busy interstate.
