2012 Nissan Quest LE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
9 of 16 people found this review helpful
When shopping for a minivan, I wanted something that had less than bland styling. The quest by far is the most impressive looking minivan out there IMO - it has a very distinctive shape that no other comparable van has. Styling aside, the biggest advantage is the interior. I own an LE model -The Honda and Toyota both have very cheap interiors. Try knocking on the dash on the Toyota. With leather seats, this truly is a luxury vehicle. The cargo capacity is massive. Do you really plan to take out the car seats? These fold flat...anything big - rent a truck.
SLEEK DESIGN

After returning from a trip, we rented this vehicle to get from the airport to our home and truly fell in love with it. Four months later, we purchased a 2012 Nissan Quest minivan. So far, we have been very impressed with our purchase. It has much more pep than our previous minivan (Dodge Grand Caravan) and is a quieter ride. The basic features seem adequate and are quite liked by the children, as they now have temperature control in the rear. Standard middle row captain's chairs are an added bonus so that the kids don't get in each other's space as often:) However, I think the most impressive is the exterior design--very sleek and modern. It's a turn your head and look kind of minivan.

2012 quest review, good, and bad

2012 Nissan Quest LE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
3 of 5 people found this review helpful
Lots of room, easy to get into and out of, great acceleration, nice ride, and comfort. Electronics are poor quality, need frequent repair, and Nissan won't stand behind it. Transmission failed at 75k miles, Nissan was no help with repairs. Nissan continues to install sub quality transmissions, knowingly costing their loyal customers thousands of dollars.

After six years and 93,000 miles my recommendation has changes from "buy" to "not buy." I general I find the Nissan Quest a very capable minivan but as it ages it shows its deficiencies. Most notably: all the AC and heating lines under the van rusted out last year and required a $3,000 repair (I live in Wisconsin) and 2) the tail gate is started to rust fairly bad. From my previous review, which I still agree with - I test drove the Honda and Toyota and came running back to the Nissan for three primary reasons: 1) The interior fit and finish and organization was far superior to the other minivans. 2) The interior noise was much less than the competitors, and 3) I liked the way the seats folded and the rear storage area. The Nissan gets a bad rap for the non-traditional storage compartments and seats but I find that on a daily basis the set up is far superior to the alternatives. The rear covered storage compartment allows me to store a stroller, blankets, emergency equipment all while still allowing groceries and other items to be hauled. While the total storage area may be less than the competitors, who the heck is hauling around that much stuff without the kids. I find that laying down the second and third rows provides plenty of space when needed. Also, I average 26-28 MPG when traveling at 55-65 miles per hour in the summer. This is great gas mileage for a minivan. Yes, the OEM tires needed to be replaced at 20,000 miles, but who really cares. Very few OEM tires last that long anyway and it gives the owner the opportunity to put on good tires for the winter. The heated leather seats are wonderful and the automatic doors and reach hatch save the day. The only complaint I would have is that it was hard to find a used one. Overall, I recommend this van without hesitation. I bought the LE version with 12,000 miles for $22,500 in November 2014. Also, I run snow tires in the winter now and the handling is much better.

We purchased the Nissan Quest back in February and so far we have not had any problems. It continues to ride smoothly and comfortably. The interior is very nice and still enjoying the luxury feel. The performance and handling is good and it continues to be fun to drive. I believe it is a good value for what you pay. My only concern would be the third row seats. It seems a little low for the average adult to sit. I would consider another Nissan vehicle in the future.
