We purchased this van after getting frustrated from getting our 2-year-old in and out of our SUV (close proximity of parked cars and our doors). Like a lot of people, we didn't want to be a "mini-van" family. That was dumb. The smart key and power sliding doors and lift gate make it so easy to get my child and child-related stuff in/out of this van. I personally like that the rear row folds flat instead of into the cargo compartment (those are power too, but the pull strap is also really easy to use). We made a 400 mile round trip drive (bought the van and left), and there is plenty of cargo space; we were throwing a birthday party, and all the party goods and luggage fit very nicely.

We had Honda Odysseys for 12 years one if them a top of the line Touring. No real complaints but the Quest LE is better. The vehicle is luxurious. The ride is superb for a van. This van is overlooked by many buyers and as a result there are big discounts to be had on remaining 2013s. Every gadget you could imagine . Technically less cargo space than others but the seats fold flat to a Make cargo room rather than get removed. Leg room in the first row is wonderful. I am 6.4 used to feeling crowded in most vehicles not this one

I have two sets of twins. The younger set was 3 months old when we purchased this van, and the older set was 2 years old. All 4 were depended on help with getting in their car seats. The car seat situation was an unnecessary challenge due to the sliding door that does not go all the way back. This makes it a challenge to get in the back seat period no matter what your age. Add that you require help to snap the car seat buckles and JUST WOW. The only way for us to do it was to put the baby car seat in the front seat of the van. Lower the middle seat flat, and sit inside to buckle both children. The other middle seat could house a base. The dedicated helper seat to get in the back could not house a base. There was not enough room to put one of the car seats as a middle seat in the back (rear facing) for three car seats across the back. We had three Radian carseats. We had someone trained in car seat safety to try that arrangement. That would allow us to have the one middle car seat down all the time and would have been less of an issue. Just imagine a mom with their 4 young kids trying to get into the van after grocery shopping. Imagine the safety concerns and that speed is her and her kids friend for getting out of the carts and into a van. It would be so much easier if the door went past the back middle seat to allow access to the third row. As it is, we could have purchased a suburban and had just as much door opening. We should have had all 4 kids with us while buying the van to put all 4 seats in and get the kids in/out of the van. We did not do that, so we did not notice the door did not open all the way. The front sunroof slides half way back and stops. The rear sunroof slides all the way back. Not a deal breaker, but it is an annoying feature. The toddlers broke the plastic part that protrudes to keep the middle seat belt in place and from dangling. They only weighed 30 pounds, and it broke that easy. I expect more from a $40,000 loaded vehicle. The remote control does not work from the front seats. So to control the kids DVD player, we have to pull over and put the car in park to use the front panel. This issue will resolve itself when the kids are old enough to learn to use the remote. But for the next few years, it is an issue. From a mom's standpoint, Nissan got the cup holders right. I don't know how I lived without the warning visual and beeps when someone is in a blind spot, visual on back up and forward cameras are spot on. I love that the back door hatch does not raise so high that if I forget to put it down, I don't damage it along with our garage. Love the ac controls in the back Wish list: Larger rear view mirror that sits higher up on window, back window open, removeable back seats, door open for full access of opening to the back seat, better mic for using hands free talking on phone, RF remote for DVD player, button on control panel dedicated just for DVD player, the button on the garage door opener to either stick out a littler farther than the other buttons/have it backlit/different texture, easier control of back cabin lights (toddlers turn them on and I don't notice until we are down the road), stronger fan for foot level heat, storage bin on the dash of driver door side of van, built in air pump, snap covers to go over the middle seat back side because currently the kids feet are on the rug type material that covers the back; maybe even add a few other snaps to add pockets for toy storage. Update 2/16/17: We have had a lot of electrical issues with the electronics on the doors and the electronics on stering wheel stopped working. There is minor rippling in the ceiling material. Update 8/16/20: Still have electrical issues as mentioned above. Seems to get more buggy with time, such as the key fob not working. I have three key fobs and they all 3 are buggy, which means it is not the key fob.

Purchased May 2013. Like many features and would buy again. The biggest complaint is mileage. I am getting 11-13 MPG. Emergency brake lever is near lower leg and could cause injury in accident. Car is comfortable, well made, quiet and pleasant to use daily.
