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.

2013 Nissan Quest SV 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

Just didn't want to but another Honda so we got a good deal with Nissan. Just don't like it. Just don't like the transmission. I need to jump in traffic frequently here in Miami and this hops off the line Indy jerky style but when you're moving it just doesn't kick in like a regular transmission does. And all this for better gas mileage? Not impressed. Averaging 15.9 according to the computer. Luckily this is a lease so I will return and go get an suv ***updated after returning lease*** Edmonds asked me to update so here it is. We returned this lease and bought a Honda Odyssey. My wife loved the automatic opening back doors so we stuck with the minivan idea. In doing research I found out that the 2013 Nissan Quest failed a new Chrash test miserably. The new front offset crash. The odyssey did not. We've had the Honda for 5-6 months now and have loved it and are really happy with it. It is a tremendous car. Especially for the family. The quest doesn't even compare with the odyssey.

I never thought I would enjoy driving a minivan until now

2012 Nissan Quest SL 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

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.

2012 Nissan Quest LE 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

It is comfortable and easy to drive. Mechanical quality is beyond poor. So far, we have replaced transmission, solenoid, ball joint, alternator, sensors... the airconditioning system died, warranty declined to repair as said due to road damage. Bluetooth doesn’t connect. Plastic is falling off of the doors. Passenger door seal is leaking so moldy inside. I’ve never seen a car that goes through set of tires in less than 10000 miles. We will keep the car for another year to drive the kids to practices around their school. I will never own another Nissan or infinity vehicle.

Quest Is A Sleeper - Be Sure To Take A Look At It

Have 3 growing teenagers and need 3 rows to keep the peace. Had settled on the Pathfinder until we read how poor the build quality is. Decided to (reluctantly) look at minivans. Looked at the Quest last out of frustration with the Odyssey and Sienna - both nice but the interiors have too much hard plastic. The Quest has a beautiful interior and is a near-luxury vehicle in SL or LE trims. Yes, seats only 7 but the ride is superb and the view out is like an SUV with loads of glass. We bought the SL and too new to evaluate overall reliability yet, but will return after 3000 miles to update. Nissan doesn't sell many so dealer may have to locate. You can drive a hard bargain for one too.
