Here's the main reason I bought this van: my kids! Of all the vans we tested, they believed the second and third row seats were the most comfortable. Some may laugh at the boxy shape and fat rear end of the Quest, but the reason it's designed that way is because it maximizes interior room. I'm 6'1" (taller in the torso than legs) and even I think the van is spacious when I sit in the third row. The head and shoulder room is incredible. The seats are all very comfortable. The soft suspension makes riding as a passenger a pleasure. So, despite all the shortcomings I mention in this review, in my opinion, the Quest tops all the competitors in the category of passenger and driver comfort. The pleasing and luxurious interior materials contribute to this. Too bad the production of this iteration of the Quest appears to be in its final chapter. see full Nissan Quest review |

The engine has good power and ample torque to get this 4500 lbs porker up to speed. Keeps up with traffic from a stop or merging onto freeways, and has ample passing power. The VQ engine and the mated exhaust offer a nice throaty growl when accelerating, which I like, but others may not. The CVT it generally smooth, but it does stumble sometimes when coming to a stop. A few times, it's taken me by surprise because it feels like the car lurches right before I come to a complete stop. It's not really an issue, because the van does stop, but the sensation in the pedal as it slows, then shifts and almost glides to a stop is startling. At speed, the shifting is butter smooth (as it should be). When I give it gas, it does "spool" up sometimes and give the impression that instant acceleration is lacking, but it is moving. This is simply a characteristic of the CVT. One thing I have noticed with the CVT is that it will slow the van when the throttle is released. It's odd, because sometimes when I want to allow the van to coast down a long hill, the CVT will slow it to a point where I have to apply throttle to maintain speed down a hill. I wonder if this contributes to worse fuel economy? see full Nissan Quest review |
