2004 Quest
From a family man who avoided buying a minivan like a disease, once I looked at and test drove the Quest I was sold. It looks pretty cool(in minivan standards) has tons of room, easy to deal with interior, and a really great ride that blows away all the other minivans by far. Love the acceleration (240hp) and the handeling. Kids like it too.
Did I get lucky?
After reading so many bad reviews, I must have gotten lucky with my van. I traded in a 2003 Lexus RX300 as I needed the additional room. Travel a lot. Love the van in every way. Great gas mileage average 23.5 around town and took a 6,000 mile trip to Northeast areas and Nova Scotia and got 26.7 for trip. No problems at all so far. Have all the bells and whistles and love them too. Maybe the Lexus had a better GPS but this van is better on the road then the Lexus I had. Roomy, peppy for a van, handles great and what's not to like? Sorry others are not so fortunate. Would I buy another Nissan, Probably. But Honda is good too. I had a 2001 with little problems but not nearly as nice

Quest Review
I love this hybrid SUV/Minivan
Very functional Nissan Quest
The flexibility of the Quest is wonderful. The automatic doors, the fold flat seats are terrific. The skylights create a fun traveling experience. Best of all we like the ZIP. Our other vehicle is a Jaguar 3.0 S type and it's my impression that the Quest would be it off the line every time. The styling is very different and you either like it or dislike it. However, it creates interest wherever we go.
The Final Quest
Overall, we are well pleased with the Quest. The problems incurred were annoying rather then operationally dibilitating. They were also addressed by the dealership and Nissan. This is the first in 14 vehicles owned over the years, that I feel I am 'superviseing' not driving.
a world of excellent for families
This mini van is the best in it's class. It was made to make all ages in your family happy and very comfortable. It drives like a car, instead of a mini van. The Quest performance is behond words.
Best
I am so impressed with this vehicle. I drove a number of other brands.
Quest
So far so good. We have only had the vehicle a week. So far it has been wonderful. No problems, to speak of and the feedback from interested parties is unbelievable. We highly recommend it and the dealer we purchased it from.
Beats an SUV anyday
I was going for an SUV, however when I drove the new Nissan Quest... I was Hooked... And everybody always complements me on the car... GREAT MINIVAN
Cool Car
I like everything about the car, especially how itlooks, how it handles and the engine power. There is a rattle in the side door that Nissan has yet to solve which is the only draw back
Thank Heavens I didn't get an Odyssey
We bought our Quest in August. It is October and we are already close to 5,000 miles. I insisted on buying an Odyssey until my husband told me to at least look at the Quest....well, I saw and then test drove both engines (SL and SE). No comparison!! Bought the SE. Only problem is if you want to add the DVD system after purchase it can't be done. Nissan is not even selling the system for alternate installation, so get it now!!
my new quest
I love the uniqueness of the desgin and endless list of features. I get stopped at least once a day by somebody asking about it.
Quest gives style to a minivan
Our first minivan, and after months of debate and test driving Odyssey, Sienna, Pacifica, Pilot, XC90, T&C, Grand Caravan, Rendezvous, MDX, and V70, we realized that that you can call a crossover what you like but there ends up being a compromise in the real functionality of a minivan. Quest does not compromise style or performance for functionality. We can take turns similar to our 98 Maxima, strap the kids in the seats without over extending like some of the 3rd rows in the SUV, Bose sounds great, 17" wheels look sporty and the features for price seem to be one of the best.
JUST SIMPLE FUN
THIS VEHICLE IS THE MOST FUN VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN, AND I HAVE DRIVEN A LOT OF VEHICLES. THE 3.5 ENGINE IS QUICK AND RESPONSIVE - ANSWERING TO ANY DEMAND YOU PUT ON IT.
My Odyssey Has Become A Quest
As a former 2001 Odyssey owner, I had high standards when I shopped for a new minivan in September. Of course, another Odyssey was considered -- until I stepped into a 2004 Nissan Quest and discovered what I've been missing! I thoroughly admire the central control panel and display -- this IS the 21st century, isn't it? Shouldn't digital displays, tactile/touch-controls, self- monitoring tire gauges all be standard by now? This vehicle draws the curious whereever I go and its sure to turn heads for years to come. My Odyssey has ended. But my Quest has just begun.
I love it
I have three children that range from ages 12 to 1 and I love this van. I use to drive an Altima an have always loved the feel of the Nissan. I was aprehensive to get a minivan as I am sure many Moms are but I loved the way it looked. I have had it for a couple of years now and I still love it. I am considering getting a new one at the end of the year. The interior design takes a couple of hours to get use to. But once you drive it for a day it seems normal and user friendly!
Nissan Quest
The best van ever made.i like it better than the sienna and the award winning town and country.
You must owne one
There are no words to discrive this van is just the perfect vehicle.My wife gets home from a long day at the office and she sits in the van for a good 30 to 45 minutes, I have to go outside a couple of times to get her to come inside the house.I'm glad the car was for my use,I have only driven the car once since we purchased it,but I dont care she and I are very happy and I recomend this car to any person out there that is looking both for confort and luxury.Thank you Nissan
Happy Mom
I absolutely love the look of this vehicle. It certainly doesn't look like all the other minivans. As parents of two teenage boys and a baby girl, we were looking to purchase a vehicle with lots of room. We looked at the competition, Honda and Toyota, but we weren't impressed. The Quest is perfect, with pleanty of room for baby equipment and generous leg room in all three rows for our almost 6' tall son. I love it!
Mom of 4
I am totally in love with my new Nissan Quest! I love everything about it! I get so many complements on the looks and from my passengers on the way it rides. My husband who drives an Jaguar Xjs even loves to drive it.
Overall a Keeper
I love driving my Quest. I am very tall and having the displays in the center of the console prevents the steering wheel from obstructing my view. Automatic side rear and back doors are wonderful with two small kids. So are the fold down seats and ability to pull second row seats forward to access third row, even if second row seats have child seats installed.
love my quest
This is the second minivan i've ever owned and I love it! I have never had any trouble with it, the quality is great, the looks are superb, and performance is incredible! I have no complaints about my quest and am so happy I purchased it when I was looking to move into a larger vehicle than the one I had been driving. Everyone who has driven my car loves it, and two friends of mine in the market for a mini-van purchased Quests after using mine as their "test drive" van! I would recommend this van to everyone.
Average van at high price
We traded in a Silhouette for this. We have been quite disappointed. Wife liked the colr, styling and all the "bells and whistles." Unfortunately, she has been looking to trade it after just 3 months. Depreciated too much and any trade under 6 months voids the warranty to prospective owner. This van and subsequent poor Nissan service is not worth the exhorbitant pricetag.
Love it
I love my van. Rides great, large seats for added comfort. No cramped feeling. Cool ride.
great van
i just got the van it is great i love it my whife loves it my son loves the dvd package it is fun to drive it has get up and go power it has ample cargo room and passenger room its an all around great fun to drive van
SE with Wood Dash
Kids love it, dvd/sound system is tops. Head turner. Skyview roof is fantastic!
The Best MinIvan (If you can afford it.)
I looked at several Minivans both foreign and domestic, but when I saw the Quest, I was in love. I was going to settle for a Chevy Venture LT loaded because of the price and rebates,(My father worked for GM) but I just couldn't do it. I narrowed my choices down to the Odyssey and the Quest because of their quality. I was able to get the Quest for $29,800 out the door.
Nissan Quest a winner
After owning three Quests this redesign is truly a work of art. Just about anything that we felt could be improved the engineers and designers at Nissan have incorporated in this new unit. We had seriously entertained the idea of changing vehicles this time around but were blown away when we test drove the new 2004. Thank you Nissan
My wife's favorite and mine too
My wife and I drove several minivans prior to buying the Quest. Interior parts in the Chrysler/Dodge product snapped off in her hands. The Toyota salesfolks were incredibly snotty. The Honda design was too long in the tooth. The Ford was solid but lacked the neat and clean interior design as well as adequate horsepower. The Nissan's interior is soft, spacious, and accomodating. With 240 hp it has more than enough pickup. My wife drove it filled with luggage, my dog, and our two kids ALONE from MD to TX and the car never failed to support her or perform as anything other than advertised.
Excellent Mini Van Available
This is one of the best design yet. It is roomy at the front and second row, but the third row is lake of leg room.
nissan quest
people are stopping me to ask what it is i love the fold down seats, wish they had a pattern to hide eventual dirt
Rattle and Hum (and gulp) ...
I've owned this m.v. (my first) for 2 months. The engine and drivetrain certainly hum along. The passenger-side power door rattles over every bump. I'm avering just 18 mpg to-date (well below expected). The center console takes some getting used to, but it grew on me (but not everyone). Handles surprisingly well in both rain and snow. My overall opinion is still positive, but I'll reserve long-term judgement until I see how quickly Nissan fixes the door rattle and the interior wears with age.
QUEST is the Best
This van attracted us with its good looks more than its competitors out there in the Market like Honda or Toyota. After the test drive, we didnt even consider the Honda or Toyota..The QUEST drives like a car and is one of the most spacious and comfortable minivan out there. Even the basic model without options was more than what we actually needed.Even though it wasnt a necessity, the sliding power passenger door and the power trunk door attracted us and we ended up buying the SL model. We've driven this van for more than 1000 miles now and my family loves it...So far so good.
Great Minivan
Awesome car that's got zip and comfort I can't believe it's a minivan....really, it's great fun
I LOVE IT!!!
The new Quest is awesome. It whoops the Oddyssey and Sienna by a mile. It looks awesome and is as fast as a 350Z. Smooth ride and good gas mileage make it my favorite.
The Wood Review
This is our third Nissan Quest van, we previously owned a 1996 and a 2002 model, all were reliable and good sources of family transportation. However, the 2004 model blow both of these older models away!
AWSOME
I LOVE THIS MINIVAN!!! IT IS SO FUN TO DRIVE.
A van worth a look
Weve recently purchased this van after looking at all the others. This one definitely caught our (the wife & I) eyes. The look is great, the engine is very able, the styling is sleek and very different from the others. Weve had it for about two months now and it is truly fun to drive. The ride is pleasant and the handling on the road and around turns is awsome. This our first loaded (w/o DVD (decide well install aftermarket) and navigation system (really dont need)) vehicle. All those little extras are well worth it.
I love my new sport vehicle!
I was very hesitant about purchasing a minivan. I went the whole "SUV run", but came to realize that was not what my family needed. I tried the other minivans first, and then my Quest. It is very functional and family friendly. My oldest son plays soccer, my daughter plays softball, and my youngest son plays just about everything..lol. Through it all my wife carries them all with greater ease than our old Altima, which we decided to keep as well. Not having to take the seats out was the best "sell" of all. Our Quest has made our family's life easy.
I wish I had never bought IT!!!
It was love at first sight but I think I was completely blind. We have had nothing but trouble from this van since day 1. Our van has been the shop around 100 time and that is not including regular maintance. Our sliding doors have came apart and we have had doors adjusted and not been able to open them. The trunk leaked and messed the carpet up and that is just to start. On top of that we have not had the best of service workers. We have had nothing but trouble with them. As we speak it is in the shop once again. I can't wait till we can get rid of it. Oh yeah and the trade it value had dropped b/c of the problems. I will never buy a Nissan agian.
Quest needed repair
The speedometer quit working at 902 miles. Dealer replaced. One of the sky windows leaked and damaged a rear seat. Dealer replaced and repaired window. Gas mileage not what I expected.
Terrible first month
My experience is not good at all, and really gave me a bad impression over Nissan's manufacturing quality control. In the first 3 months, I had the car repaired 4 times. Mostly, bad QC! Body panel dropped, sliding door rail mis-aligned, truck light not connected, plastic covers failed off when touched for the first time! I must have one of lemon car coming out of Nissan factory. Very disappointed.
2004 Nissan Quest
Quest is a great looking, fun to drive, POWERFUL, minivan. I checked them all out and the Quest has the most bang for the buck.
First Eveluations
Have been completly supriaed by the firm easy drive as compared to test drive of other vans and comparison to my other two cars--Chrysler Concord 97 and Ford Aerostar XLT Extended 92. Rides like a heavy/bigger car. Handled the Ozark Moutains extremely well for a 6 cylinder. Very little pull down on steap hills. Plenty of usuable space for pasangers and luggage. Initial impression love this van.
Shhhhh... Dad loves the minivan
It had been monopolized by the wife and kids for a month before I snuck away with it for a 500 mile business trip. Loved every minute of it. The nightime departure through hill country showcased the handling, ride and responsiveness. Lots of power and was glued to the road cornering. No peering through the wheel to see if I might be speeding (I was) due to the new offset gauges. Excellent drivers visiblity and room. Audio system rocks. Quest is at home on the highway. Set the cruise control and enjoy the ride. Effortless to drive and astoundingly comfortable. I'm thinking Titan for Dad for Xmas.
NISSAN SPACESHIP
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM WITH MY NEW QUEST. I WAS ORIGINALLY LOOKING FOR A 4 DOOR SEDAN, BUT WHEN I LAID EYES ON THE ALL NEW QUEST, I COULDN'T LOOK BACK. WITH IT WELL EQUIPPED FEATURES, ITS MORE THAN A MINIVAN, I CALL IT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT CENTER. WITH ITS FLIP DOWN LCD SCREEN POWERED BY A DVD PLAYER AND 8 SPEAKER SYSTEM. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW. FORGET SITTING UPFRONT. I GOT THE BACK SEAT I THIS RIDE!
Minivan sports car
Not only did I have an excellent experience at the dealership, but has been extremely impressed with the van. It drives like a sports car, but has the space of a minivan and the comfort of a luxury SUV. Could not be happier with my purchase.
Great Van
Worth the wait for my family. The skyview roof decided Quest over Sienna. Great for long drives.
Worst Quest by far
3 days on the road, the engine malfunction light went on. The computer had to be reprogrammed and an engine part replaced. Took 4 days to diagnose and repair! Now 2 weeks later, found out the right sliding door itself unbelievably scratching the side of the body making scratch marks both inside and out! Armrest,sliding door,rear window on left side are too loose while those on the right too tight. Gas consumption is almost 40% more than the spec, and definitely more than my mom's SUV. Felt totally betrayed by its looks.
Great style
I searched and test drove every major brand. I ended with the Quest for its style, passenger style driving, big engine and lots of room. No regrets!!!! Love the van. Get the DVD system, best option I ever paid. Kids were great on the long trips.
