Checking Off ALL the boxes!

The 2016 Nissan Quest (SV) was super fun to test drive. This van is powerful and has amazing agility and IMHO superior handling compared to other vans such as the Honda Odyssey or the Chrysler Town and Country. In a direct comparison of test driving about 6 different vans in the same day, I found the power response from the Nissan much better, the overall handling much more precise, and the turning radius much tighter than the other 5 minivans I drove. Bottom line, the Nissan Quest is like Beast-mode compared to those others plus in the Quest the seat position and geometry of the windshield and seat adjustments and the layout just made so much more sense to me. The Honda felt like I was in a cockpit, the Chrysler felt too much like their sedans and some things difficult to reach or control properly, the Toyota was the same way, and so where the Chevy Venture, and the Ford Freestar the worst of the lot. If you find one get the Nissan Quest - you'll never want to own another brand of minivan ever again!
