    This car is amazing!

    This car is amazing! I was a teenager driving this car and although it is a minivan it was GREAT! mine was a 2016 and had so many cool features and lots of space and the roof is not close to your head at all the back with the third row laid down was huge I have fit queen size mattress and box springs, sofas, dressers (more people than seats) in the back, you can lay the second row down for even more space! such a good car and fast acceleration and brakes. V6 engine can hold SO much weight. most common problems with Nissans that everyone should look out for is most Nissans' transmissions start to slip or die at around 145,000 so just beware! Overall I loved this minivan

    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!

    Best van I have ever had the pleasure of owning!

    The 2016 Nissan Quest-SV is probably the best van I've ever owned and definitely a strong contender for best vehicle I've ever owned for a couple of reasons. 1. As a van (minivan class) it has the storage I need for hauling band equipment. 2. It has plenty of power and excellent handling plus a very tight turning radius which is essential for getting in and around some of the venues where my band plays. I bought it used with 86K miles on it and it drives and looks like a brand new car off the showroom floor. Seriously in love with this vehicle and hope I have it and enjoy it for many years to come.

    Great Minivan

    This van has a very stylish interior. It has tons of storage, plenty of cupholders and rides so smooth. I have only had it a few days but I am loving it.

    Most like able mini van I have owned.

    This 2013 vehicle has the best interior of the vans I have owned. I bought this van in 2014 and have not had any major problems. I would say that the road noise is terrible. The tires that came with the van are not quiet enough. I tried to change to a different tire but the noise is still loud. The gas range is a little better than most vans.

    Worst vehicle we have owned!

    This was our second Nissan Quest, our old 2004 was great the New 2016 was so bad we have already gotten rid of it at just over a year old! Engine shuts off when stopped at stop light, electric door sensors kept the doors from closing, plus a few other issues, including recalls. Always got a comforting "sales pitch" with each return to the dealership. Unfortunately this experience has been so bad that after 6 Nissan vehicles we are done, with Nissan.

    Got Dogs? You'll love the Quest

    LOVE this vehicle. I have three golden retriever size crates in it and it's so easy to get the dogs in and out. Plus the huge under the floor (trunk?) storage keeps all my training equipment out of sight, organized and easily accessible. Another bonus is the two zone heat and a/c. It's a big vehicle, no doubt about it but feels and handles like a small car - nice and responsive. Great gas mileage as well.

    This van is so awesome and spacious, perfect for our growing family. The trunk space is phenomenal compared to similar vehicles and we can easily fit a multitude of car seats. It rides smooth and quick.
