I never thought I would enjoy driving a minivan until now

A great vehicle thru and thru. The styling is unlike all the other typical minivan on the market, so in a way, I feel that it is less like a minivan. I like the boxy style at the back, although I would understand that it is a love it or hate it styling. I love the CVT on the Quest. I test drove a Cube couple years back and it was so loud and straining at all RPM. I think the problem with the Cube was the small engine. With the Quest's 3.5L engine, the CVT is quiet and extremely smooth. The interior is just unbelievable for a minivan. It basically is a carbon copy of the Infiniti's interior design. Fit and finish is top notch. I guess that's the result of the vehicle being built in Japan.
Enjoyed until

We enjoyed overall. But, we were hit 2 weeks after buying and in shop for months. then got regular maintenance. Went though 5 set of tires, most we ever bought for a vehicle. Now at 152,000, the transmission can not be repaired. Have to replace, it'll cost me 3,3000 and AC is not as cool as it used to be. Nissan service has no interest in helping me only stated I need to replace the transmission when I went in for I fluid service. Value is so upside down that trading in is an option. Not happy. Update: We bought a new transmission. Discovered that with CVTs, fluid service is necessary often. Got rid of van although it had an upside down, practically paid someone to take it. The plus of the van is the room it provided. I think the van is too big to carry itself when all the seats are filled. Relieved....TRADED IT IN and dust off my hands and relieved. Whew, one less worry.

We leased our new black with grey leather Quest SL with DVD player today. So far we LOVE it. What a HUGE improvement over our one-owner traded in 2004 Quest!

Van shakes, shudders, stalls, won't accelerate, goes into limp mode, etc. This is my 4th Nissan and it will be my last. At 95,000 miles the transmission failed. Contacted Nissan. They won't assist customers unless it's part of a class action settlement. Nissan needs to be held accountable for manufacturing vehicles with defective parts. I'm the mother of 3 young kids. I need a safe & reliable vehicle. Filed a complaint with NHTSA. Submitted a request to class action.org.

When we came to the point where we pretty much needed a minivan due to two young boys, it wasn't a hard choice once we looked around. Sure the Odyssey has more vans on the road, but one look on the outside of the Quest and my wife wanted it. Inside sealed it for me. It's plush, quiet comfortable, and all the features you could want in a minivan, save the Bose radio we passed on. Priced next to a similarly equipped Honda and we saved thousands. The kids just love it, they have room and are not on top of each other.
