Nissan Quest review from Consumer Reports

[MrImacarfan]

they copied the odyssey in alot of interior and exterior amenitites...

[jvrdlc]

this is a nice van, the only prob i got is that its not a TRUE minvan that can seat 8, also the back seats are not that confortable like the Odyssey. but the rest is good

[Frickitt]

Kinda looks like very hot stylish 1990s minivan

[asdfghjklsaab]

All minivans look like crap. The short hood, sudden end, small wheels and downright ugly grilles should be enough to scare everyone off. In my honest opinion, the only reason that minivans are in the market still is that they're useful, which I agree with.

[pattycarljackson]

all minivans are going square/boxy odyssey started a little bit sienna all the way and now the quest is to

[ted101975]

Just bought one on Friday and this is an accurate review. I love CVT trans can't wait until our family trip up to PA.

[NattDogg01]

Very sharp. I saw one of these at a Nissan dealer the other day and I have to say that the square shape makes it look very big on the outside.

[asdfghjklsaab]

@NattDogg01 Very ugly as well..

[245tfox]

@photochick4u I completely disagree. With an almost horizontal window line the quest strays as far as humanly possible from looking like a minivan while still being one. While all the odyssey has is a drooping sagging rear window.

[GirlsTeachDating]

Nice :-)

[photochick4u]

Interesting that Nissan changed their mind on the radical styled exterior of the last generation Quest and went back to the basic, practical, square-looking van. They saved the style and the goodies for the interior.

As for exterior, Honda has decided to be the radically-style van now for those that have issues looking like they drive a soccer mom mini van.

2:07 the fly comes with the car?... lol

[asdfghjklsaab]

@mlacayoa Haha

[MrZaferbh]

DVD entertainment system works only with remote control ! what if ( & a good chance I lose the remote or break the remote) the DVD player is useless !

[laujoyjoy]

@MrZaferbh - DVD system can also be controlled at the console screen (standard with DVD player) with parking brake on. Of course, a replacement remote control is always available at dealer or ebay...

[hehh543]

Great review! One thing though, I felt the dash board in the showroom and it wasn't padded...? hmm..

[Lexuslover123]

This is definitely the best minivan on the market, all the others have just awful interiors, except the oddesys which is OK, but not great. I'd have to say, if you want a minivan, go for this one.

[YiJustin558]

@Lexuslover123 This is quite pricey for a minivan, though.

[MrImacarfan]

@Lexuslover123 id have to disasgree. ita a box. no matter what the interior is, its just a box. a box that only takes premium gas and doesent offer as much room as an odyssey or sienna. and the siennas interior is cheap as well..

[igeekone]

Best minivan on the market.

[strife2xlr8]

Whats a siofah?

[Whoatemycheese]

"The Infiniti of minivans." I remember when the last Toyota Sienna was called "the Lexus of minivans" (pity the current model's cheapened design). I'll be interested to see if this new Quest will be the sales success that the previous gen Sienna was.

[whattheheck1000]

RIP Nissan Quest, 1992-2009... I'm not a fan of the 2011-up models.

[Intechdude300]

Beats the Sienna and Town & Country which are both Horrid in terms of Interior Quality

[GmTruckCarLove]

@Intechdude300 Even the brand new T&C? Car and Driver says its super refined.

[Lexuslover123]

@GmTruckCarLove Its not, there are mager misalignments of dash board panels (for instance, the one above the passenger glove box) the center counsel is supppper jiggly, and the panel for the nav system and radio controls lifts up. Chrysler should go under one of these days......

[Lexuslover123]

@Intechdude300 YES!!! Hell yes! People need to realize this, this even beats the oddesy, which has a decent interior, but still nothing compared to this.

[FreshKiddo0128]

The Best Man, The Best Minivan, The Best Review! 

[1MEGASTARFOREVER]

Likes - Interior

Dislikes - Too boxy for my taste, maybe missing some features from the honda and toyota

[divooriginale]

Does anybody know if this is based on the Elgrand? It sure looks like it.

[FreshKiddo0128]

@divooriginale It Is! With An American Redesign In Some Accpects! ? Lol I Think Thass How You Spell It! The Headlights & The Rear Tail Lights Are The Only Difference Between The Quest & The Elgrand!

[Germandude74]

wtf is with those headlights?



[fantomtuba]

2:07 there's a fly

[TJC450]

lol even CR hates how toyota is getting cheap now.

[hondaftw1234]

Infinitis are sporty lol. This isn't... I prefer the 2011 Odyssey myself. It has way more storage and is just as nice as this quest. Tho the interior isn't as nice quality

[asdfghjklsaab]

@hondaftw1234 No they're not, Infiniti's are marked up Nissans. Saab's, Audi's and BMW's are sporty, because that's their market. Infiniti's are wannabe entry level luxury cars. Sure, they're far above Toyota and Nissan, but they're just not there, not yet at least. Sorry if I was a bit harsh, but cars like Lexus and Infiniti just can't compare to the nicer cars.

[zakyum]

Love the "Japanese-ness" about it

[somewhatlongdong]

The exterior is hidious, although it does make the Ford Flex look more attractive.

[xelxtravieso619x]

@somewhatlongdong LOL flex is a dull car and cheap materials

[Dootsie623]

pee!

[supremewhip]

2:12 he just squashed the bug with his hand.

[SuppahShinyyCheerios]

The growling was uneccessary. This is a van, not a super car.

Nissan is not a luxury brand, so stop calling it that.

It does not look different, it looks ugly.

Lastly, y'all need to stop hating on Toyota. That makes your reviews biased and untrue.

[GmTruckCarLove]

@SuppahShinyyCheerios ??? The new Toyota Sianna is shit. Sorry to tell you that. Check out Intechdude300 and you will l see.

[Lexuslover123]

@GmTruckCarLove Same with the T&C/ Grand caravan

[xelxtravieso619x]

@SuppahShinyyCheerios he's not being biased, Toyota does suck and so does the ugly sienna LOL

[supervette2000]

@xelxtravieso619x calling the sienna ugly? sure it isn't sporty looking but its way nicer looking than this ugly monster! lol

[boperoo11]

@xelxtravieso619x actually TOYOTA os very good:(

[asdfghjklsaab]

@boperoo11 Sure, that's why Toyota recalled 16 million vehicles. Toyota is crap, in terms of styling, and reliability. It's more of the same, and everyone has one. Nothing individual about it. The only reason that Consumer Reports puts good marks on the Asian cars is because they're huge in America, and Consumer Reports would get shot down if they started to call them bad.  When the Asian cars first came to America, they were cool and sporty, i.e. second gen Civic. Now they're awful.

[4JustHOUND]

@asdfghjklsaab to an extent. Consumer reports no longer recommends many Honda models, and has kept track of Toyotas failing reliability issues. They will even report that many import brands have "lost the shine off the apple" and Nissan is one of the only Japanese brands that still has many vehicles in that book next to a red check mark

[jvrdlc]

great review Tom.

[Darkdejaj]

i dont care about the car i just like this guy lol
