Consulting your kids on the sort of car they'd like you to buy can be a risky business. If they're at an age when cold, hard financial reality hasn't quite dawned, you'll get a response laden with exotic sports cars and huge chrome-spangled 4x4s. If they're a little more in tune with the kind of budget that the bank of mum and dad is likely to have at its disposal, you might get some more realistic possibilities but the list will still be couched in terms of vehicles they'd like to see waiting for them outside the school gates. The van-based MPV must rank amongst the cars least likely to appear on such child-generated want lists. Vehicles like Nissan's NV200 Combi are never going to impress a twelve-year-old's peer group and so, it's unlikely to get many recommendations from self-respecting school children but Nissan is confident that parents will appreciate its space, simple design and low prices.
