"If you are looking to buy a minivan then the first and only vehicle you should look at is the Nissan Quest. It is very spacious. (And for my family, I'm 6' 3" and my sons are already nearing my height, it is perfect.)"

"We previously have owned a Honda Odyssey and most recently owned a 2008 Toyota Sienna XLE. We started to look for another vehicle and had focused on another Sienna, recognizing the leg and headroom were not that generous. After looking at the newer Sienna's interior, my wife and I agreed that it was full of hard plastics and looked very cheap. We considered the Odyssey but it seemed rather expensive and we were not crazy about the lightning bolt look. We had also heard about the abrupt shifting five speed automatic on the Odyssey. We dismissed the Chrysler products given their much worse than average repair ratings. I researched other vans and came upon the Quest. In addition to being recommended by a leading consumer magazine, the initial quality ratings were best in class among minivans. At first the exterior was a bit off putting to my wife, but up close the Quest was better looking. The interior is first rate and of luxury car quality. Fit and finish is better than the competitors. There is plenty of leg and headroom and the seats are extremely supportive. On the road the van is very quiet and acceleration is excellent. The steering is quite good as well. In terms of convenience, being able to open the side doors at a push of the button rather than pulling a handle is helpful when you have your hands full. At first we thought the push button ignition and proximity key were just gimmicky features, but we really like the ability to unlock and lock the Quest with the push of a button on the driver's side door. All in all, we are very pleased and the pricing was extremely competitive. Using Cars.com our final cost ended up being well below sticker and thousands less than a comparably equipped Honda or Toyota. If you are in the market for a van, I would suggest you add the Quest to your list."

"I have owned my 2012 Nissan Quest for a month now and love it. I have owned 3 other minivans but the Nissan is a better value in my opinion. The interior has a better layout, the leather seats are softer and more comfortable, the dvd player is better, the van feels faster, Nissan reliability is top notch, and I saved a ton over other comparable minivans with incentives. Very please with my Quest."

"I just traded in a 09 Mazda 5, a very nice car but not quite as economical as I thought it would be with its 4 cylinder. Eventually, I think probably because of age, '74', I grew claustrophobic and couldn't manage climbing down into it. I very much enjoy the height getting in, and the flat floor ei, no well to try to clean out. The tranny is also a dream. I got the base model but am still very satisfied with the appointments included."

"Me and my wife decided to shop around for a minivan that would have all the features we were looking for. As a previous honda odyssey owner i went to test drive the 2013 honda odyssey i liked it but too much plastic in the interior, then the toyota sienna i did not liked it at all because the dashboard looks kind of funny. last one the new nissan quest. after driving the nissan quest me and my wife could not believed how luxurious the interior is and when driving it feel so smooth you can even hear nises from outside or from the engine and it had any feature you can think of and the price is perfect . after driving for more than 3 months we really do not want to drive another car except the nissan quest. the engine is so strong that when you step on the foot it feels like a sport car. we are so happy that we picked the nissan quest."

"It all started when my best friend change his Toyota Venza 2012 for a Nissan Quest 2012 SL. When I saw it and got a driving test I fall in love with it; however five months earlier I had purchases a Toyota Tacoma 2012. I love my truck so much, but because I didn?t add the steps I got my left leg and hip hurt? so saying that I decided to change my truck for a minivan six months later. I have a son 14months old and it really makes a difference when it?s raining or when you?re carrying package?You press one button and buala!!! It opens by itself! Saying that I review some other minivans, but when I ride on my friend Quest oh boy instant love! I got me the SV because it was cheaper than the SL that has leather interior, the back door open with a key bottom, the front seats heat, and it got the blind spot; mine doesn?t have does things but it got more features than the regular S. I totally recommend it, I love the luxurious exterior style, I like things that are different from the rest and the Quest totally nail that; the interior it is roomy, despite what people say about the cargo and the third road, I have seat on the third row when my friend got his for the first time, I enjoy it I didn?t feel tight. Love all the cup holders, yes I wish for the second row to had a middle seat that could be multifunctional; but it doesn?t have it. I do like the under cargo space in the back, and the way all the rows go down. I do recommend it; however do a road trial and see for yourself; my needs are totally cover by this minivan and I have no regrets, plus love all the windows and the tint on it, my color it?s the white pearl, man it look so unique, I think I am driving a Cadillac. LOL"

"Great pick up, handles well for a minivan, solid and luxurious interior, best looking interior among minivans, i am very much puzzled about the underrating of this car by professional reviewers, just because it has slightly less cargo space compared to competitors, but the space is more than enough for any above average family needs. We are super happy with this minivan, we purchased the van about 1 1/2 years prior, now with about 30,000 miles on it, doing great, no problems whatsoever!!! Best overall minivan."

"We previously owned an '07 Sienna CE. Great vehicle, even well appointed with the base level trim. With 92K miles on it, we decided to trade it in. This go around we wanted a little more luxury as the van would not have as much kid wear and tear. We drove the new Sienna, Odyssey and the Quest. All excellent vehicles. Other than the lower amount of cargo space (with the seats folding down - of which I like better than removing) I am baffled that the Quest is so underrated. It drives great, looks distinctive and has gorgeous interior."
