We bought our 2011 from parents with 34,000 miles. Now has 95,000 and have dumped $7,700 into it in the last year. It started when the air conditioning went out. Needed new compressor and lines. The lines took 6 weeks to order from the factory. Parts were $3,200 and $1,800 for labor at dealer. 6 months later exhaust goes out and it’s all one assembly and another $1700. 2 weeks ago all new brakes. We also have had to replace the wheel well lining twice as we live in Michigan and not much space in wheel well so the snow freezes against tire and cracks the plastic liner. The positive is it’s comfortable and has a lot of power. I know brakes are a maintenance thing but timing wasn’t good.

very plush, great seats and radio.we have an le have put 144000 miles on it. It unfortunately now has all the know cvt issues which based on what I read are really not fixable unless you want to keep adding transmissions. My wife wont drive it, I do and it is about 80% reliable but really the transmission issues makes the car trash to be honest. NEVER BUY A QUEST unless it is so cheap you can just walk away from it. Seriously it is very nice but garbage beause of the unfixable issues.

2011 Quest is awesome

We did a lot of research. Besides the Nissan Quest, we drove the Honda Odyssey (ok), Toyota Sienna (yuck), Buick Enclave (nice, but $), and Mazda 5 (great, affordable microvan). Hands down, the Nissan Quest was our choice. Definitely feels like driving a luxury car. Pro reviewers should rate it higher. Seven seats are plenty, and I don't care that they don't "stow and go," because both back rows fold flat for plenty of cargo space. If that's really not enough, rent a U-haul. Also, since the third row doesn't fold into the floor, you're left with cavernous storage that doesn't have to be emptied to fold the seats.

One Year - Great Mini Van!!!

Had my Quest for one year now with 12,000 miles on it and not a problem yet. Frequently have 7 passengers in the car with no complaints. Drives smooth on the highway and so far so good. I must add that the CVT does lag a tad when hitting the gas from start. It doesn't bother me too much but wish it picked up quicker. Did a lot of research before going with the Quest, but I also have a 1995 Villager with a Nissan Engine that is still going strong also and just can't get rid of it. I did trade in my 2003 Grand Caravan and don't regret it a bit. All I can say is "Love the Quest!" Thinking of getting a second one whenever my 95 Villager stops running, but that may be years away

Just drove the 2011 Quest today

My wife and I drove the 2011 Quest today. Nothing stood out one way or the other in terms of its handling. However, the seats were incredible. They are big, beefy, and Sooooooft. It was cold outside so we turned on the seat heaters. Warmed us up quickly. We didn't want to leave the vehicle. Middle row seats were decent. Back row was ok. Had to move the middle row seats up a little to get enough back row footroom, but nothing that would bother a child and most adults. The exterior boxy back is a little weird, but like most things in life, I'm sure we'll get used to it. Who knows, in a year, we may all be raving about it. We are shopping for a minivan. It is between this and the new Odyssey.
