That the seats recline in different ways making the van very roomy...plus storage.
I enjoy my Nissan Quest. It is very spacious and economical. It is great for long trips with the family. It has served its purpose for many years.

It is a great car with amazing features!
It is an amazing car and it is very reliable and sturdy. It comes with a lot of helpful characteristics like cup holders, easy to use ac, seat heaters, etc. It is very comfortable and is easy when going up or down hills. The performance would be an 8/10 overall.

You pay for what you get. I feel that I have a good quality vehicle
I brought my vehicle used back in 2013. Since then we have relocated to another state. No major problems just the brakes. Now that it's over 100,000 miles I just had the first major job which was replacing the radiator and hoses. I will buy another Nissan

Nissan Quest transcends the minivan.
It is perfect for both town driving as well as travel. It is spacious enough to move someone to college yet pretty inside. The features are nice and it has held up nicely each passing year. I love my Quest.

It has way more space than you think. You can put the seats down and fit a lot of stuff.
I like the comfort of the seats for driver and passengers and I like the amount of trunk space.

Slate grey 2011 Nissan quest.
Since purchasing this vehicle a year ago, I have yet to have any problems. It is very comfortable to drive and has a lot of space if you have a large family. There is a second set of back seats that fold down for more space. It has a CD player and your typical radio buttons, no navigation. Ever since owning a Nissan quest, I look forward to owning another in the future (quest or other type of Nissan).

Bring back the quest- we absolutely love this model!
This is our 3rd quest-- we have loved each model we got, and sad that they no longer manufacture this model. With each model of the quest that we purchased, the features got better. We upgraded BC of the features and it has been one of the most reliable vehicles for us!

Safety which this van and it’s dealers luck
I had the 2011 Nissan Quest since 2015. Had been struggling with tire pressure low earning light and had been to Nissan dealer to have this fixed over 5-7 times. Ranging from sensor replaced, tires patched to changing all tires costing me over $3000 and no fix. Had Engine light come up last summer and this is my 3rd visit to Nissan dealer for the same engine light issue so far down $2300 and no fix. Either the shop at Alta Nissan Woodbridge , ON, Canada keeps diagnosing the same issue at my expense with no fix, or no one there has a clue of what to do and still charge $$, or Nissan cars are not reliable and unfixable, or this is meant to be how Nissan milks car owners! Don’t buy any Nissan brand!

It has a lot of room for the passengers in the back.
The first problem with the vehicle was it was not giving me accurate mileage but I think it was a Nissan thing cause they fixed it for free. For the longest the audio just stopped working on the car also. I haven't listened to the radio in years and the DVD player in the back stopped working almost immediately. Also I keep having problems with the brakes and even after I replaced with new ones they're still faulty. Overall, I do not like the style of the van, it is short in the front and super wide in the back and no space in the trunk.

2011 Nissan Quest-Problems
Bought my 2011 Nissan Quest 2013. Currently, I have 110,000 miles on it. Since I have owed it. I have gone though probably 5 sets of tires, had to put a new transmission in it, alternator, ac compressor, radiator, several batteries.

If you have kids here is what I think.
I like the roominess of the car, there is lots of room for me to put my stuff as well as my daughters. I am not a fan of the center console controls. They are hard to navigate. Sometimes it takes me multiple times just to change the heating settings in the car. I love how open the car feels with all of the windows and skylights. I like the foot pedals are adjustable as I am short so I do not have to sit as close to the steering wheel. Having automatic doors is nice with a little kid. I can open her door so that when I get to her all I have to do is lift her out. Over time the car does make a clunking noise though which gets annoying but can be drowned out with the radio.

The Nissan quest will meet a families needs for space and comfort.
Since purchasing my Nissan in February of 2019 I have experienced a few issues. The first problem was the a/c. It took over a year to fix because the issue was difficult to detect. I also had an issue with the intake valve. The one originally used on the vehicle was an accordion type and they tear easily, it was an expensive fix. The wheel well for the spare tire is also difficult to get to if you need to use the spare. The overall performance of the quest has been moderate. It is a reliable vehicle and it is comfortable because it offers a lot of interior space and offers a smooth ride. I do enjoy the Bluetooth speaker and rear backup camera.

Not budget friendly but good if money is not an issue...
I have had to put this car in the shop constantly. It has tons of space and great for people with kids! However, if you are on a tight budget it is not ideal. I have replaced the transmission, entire front axel, tires every 3 months, random computer checks and constant break issues!

The pros and cons of a Minivan
Cons: Sliding doors don't always open, it is not fuel efficient, tv no longer works, needs a/c repair, has some electrical problems. Pros: gets my family to where we need to go, holds my large family, has a lot of room and storage

Great seating, comfort, and great entertainment, great car overall!
The Nissan quest is very reliable and is a great family car! It has very comfortable seating for a party of 7, with great leather seats. I like the features it has like the rear camera that helps me back up into parking spaces and in general helps me see better. This car also includes a TV which is a plus for the kids sitting in the back.

Spacious and comfortable vehicle! DVD player, automatic doors, 3 row folds flat
Extremely comfortable and spacious! Middle row has 2 bucket seats which allows for lots of roominess. The third row can fold completely flat, making the trunk gigantic! Leather seats are very comfortable, heated in the front. The 2 moon roofs makes you feel like the roof is very high above you. The Bose stereo system is amazing - sounds like you're at a concert. This has been the best car for having small children. There is a DVD player that folds down from the ceiling. The back doors open automatically. The best car!
