I will get a car depending on what I need it for. Like my Nissan quest (2012) is a great family car and it is very roomy. Which is perfect because we are a family of 6. I want a car that twill suit and be perfect for my family. I would like my car to be very good with road trips and long car rides as well because I may use it for work and school and getting to those places are very important to me. I also want my car to be very comfortable and safe. I want to feel like I am in a safe environment in my car just like my house. With me being busy a lot of the times, my car cannot break down multiple times. I need a car that will hold and not have any problems mainly because of time and money.

2012 Nissan quest features.
Minivan does not need a key in ignition to start. You do need a key somewhere nearby to unlock and start the minivan. There are push buttons to open the sliding doors. There are more push buttons at the front of the minivan in case a child forgets to close the door. There are plenty of cup holders. I do not like the fact that it does not have screens or an entertainment system. The minivan has seating for seven. The price was a little more than I expected.

Transmission failure history
My transmission died on a trip out of state and I was told this was common among Nissans. My car only had 126k at the time and I was told I was lucky it lasted that long given Nissan's history of bad transmissions. I have also had to sink $2500 over the past 2 years for AC issues. The car was purchased new is 2012. And the tires for this vehicle go flat if you look at them. I was happy until recently when this thing has been unrealiable at best and a giant money pit.

Loving the quest: a minivan that looks different than the average minivan.
I love my Nissan quest. Many people do not love a minivan but I do. The quest is a van that looks different than others and is not a van that you see as often. I love that I do not drive a cookie cutter van. My favorite thing about my van is the space. I love that the trunk has deep well. This will helps you load lots of things in the van. If you have the floorboards for the trunk, it makes it perfect to keep things in the well and hide them with the board. It is almost like having two trunks.

Comfortable, nice for families.
We do like the quest but the problem with it is that I feel like I am constantly fighting to stay in the middle of my lane. The shape of the van weird so it is pushed around a lot. Other than that it is a nice ride and is comfortable. Suits our family's needs.

It is reliable and it's a comfortable ride on a trip.
It rides smooth. It has a wheelchair lift. Seats and steering wheel are adjustable. It has plenty of room for my luggage.
Samantha K

That it's a good sized minivan that easily can accommodate a large family.
I like the space within the vehicle, makes it easy for the number of children I have to maneuver around. It has decent gas mileage and a smooth ride. I have been overall very pleased with this vehicle.
Dwight J

It is a good car. Reliable and gets the job done.
I have not had any problems with the vehicle. The ride does seem to be a bit bumpy, but that may just be tires. Overall it seems to be a good vehicle. The sound system is not the best, but it is ok. The USB connector is located in the console between the two front seats, which is terribly inconvenient. Overall, I am glad for the purchase.

The most important aspect of the Quest is its comfort.
I like how roomy the Quest is. I have taken it on many long vacations and I like the fact that it is very comfortable. I have no complaints about this vehicle.

Great basic package minivan for families with kids
I love my vehicle. I love the full size floor mat covers because having kids, this is important. It is very comfortable and has a ton of cup holders. It drives really well and has not had major problems. I wish we would've gotten one of the upgraded packages (automatic doors, Bluetooth, etc) and I wish there were more than one outlet for chargers/DVD players.

2012 Nissan quest sl review.
Great for lugging around passengers and cargo. Not really a minivan guy so it feels like I am driving around in one of those heavy load vehicles. As far as it falling apart, there has not really been any required repairs other than routine maintenance.
Lura C

Comfortable and spacious but trouble with automatic doors and windows.
My 2012 Nissan quest is very comfortable. It has enough room for 7 passengers. Bluetooth and Sirius radio. Heated seats. I have had trouble with the automatic doors and with the windows. Not sure if there is an electrical problem with my van or if it is a common defect.
Grant C
on January 18, 2021
Dependable, flexible, minivan.
It is been really good for years. Two sunroofs, heated seats, very comfortable. I have really had few if any things on the car I have need to fix or replace. The minivan is big enough for me to put kayaks or Christmas trees in with ease and that is helpful. All around a great car for a guy with three kids.

Nissan quest for a large family.
We had to buy a new car as we were expecting twins. I did not want a mini van, however based on our growing family it made the most sense. I liked the look of the quest and bought the basic no frills package. It has been great. No major issues. It is large enough to accommodate our family of 6. Even packing for a trip. It is roomy enough for us to be comfortable with our luggage. I should have bought the power closing doors and maybe the DVD for road trips. This has been a great car. My only issue is that at times, even in just rain is slips a bit. I replaced the tires shortly after purchase and this helped the issue, but it still happens more than it should. Otherwise it has been a really reliable, easy to drive car.

That it has so much space in trunk, but body is not that strong
It's bigger than any other van. It doesn't give that good average. And I if like my cars body is not stronger like Honda.

My Nissan Quest Van is the best automobile I have ever had.
I love my Nissan Quest Van because of how much storage space it has. I can also a remove seats whenever necessary. My two middle doors are sliding doors and I can open them with my controller. I can also push a button on all doors to unlock the doors whenever I can't take my controller out of my purse.
Bonnie H
on December 13, 2020
Reliable vehicle with abundant storage.
The car has been very reliable. It is comfortable for long trips. It has a roomy interior, and I love all the cup holders. Our air conditioning did need to be replaced after the rear air quit working last summer. The best feature is the under the floor storage.

on November 24, 2020
It holds road very well, in short trips and distances.
Since we bought it, it has run well. It holds the road very well in city driving and distances. It is large so it can haul many things like luggage, that other vehicles are too small to hold. It also has good features that make it very pretty. The price is also very good, so I would highly recommend getting one.

Durable and reliable van with lots of space for storage.
The Nissan quest is easy to handle, comfortable, lots of storage, and very reliable. It is a bit slow to accelerate, but once it gets going, it can go pretty fast. The interior is nice, and there's plenty of space to transport whatever you need. All in all it is a great vehicle.
Dominique J

It's very roomy leaving a lot of space for my entire family.
I love that it is roomy. It can comfortably fit my family of 6. I dislike that it is such a base model. I would have loved if it came with more premium features base.

Overall great van! Very comfortable
The car runs great. I drive a lot of highway miles so the brakes and rotors wear quickly. I am able to for 7 people comfortably and still have plenty of space to store things. I really enjoy this van and is great for distance driving. I had XM/Sirius radio issues that have still gone unresolved
Sabrina I

Reliable, family vehicle.
Great vehicle, especially if you have a large family. It is a very reliable van. There is a good amount of storage space. A couple of dislikes are the lack of ac airflow to the back seats as well as the comfort of the seats. If I have to drive for more than an hour it is uncomfortable and other driver's have agreed with me on that.

I have 4 kids, and we can fit a ton of stuff in it. We take beach trips - packing for 6 of us - as we manage to all fit!
I love the backup camera. I like the automatic sliding doors. I wish the trunk had an automatic open on the key fob.

Nissan quest 2012, a decent van.
This is a decent vehicle. Plenty of room for our family of 6 to travel along with luggage for everyone. The only mechanical issue we have had was with the air conditioning hoses leaking fluid and needing an overhaul. Currently has 120,000 mile and has been a great vehicle for us overall.
Cynthia A

Check engine issues/comfortable seats.
Comfortable. Smooth drive. However it has had a strange noise in the front end that the mechanics have not been able to place where it is coming from. I have had the check engine light come on several times. I do like that the back seats lay flat especially when we go to the drive in.
Anne B
on August 24, 2020
It is so easy to drive, I love the large display.
I bought my van used, but with low mileage. It is very comfortable, we have taken it on many roadtrips. The DVD player is great to keep the kids busy, the leather seats are easy to clean, the rear seat folds flat for easy packing. We did have to have the transmission replaced this year with only 70k miles, thankfully I purchased an extended warranty thru my bank.
Dawn b

Great van for the money compared to others in its class.
I liked the sleek design of the vehicle compared to other minivans when I was shopping. I liked how easy it was to enter an address into the navigation system compared to other vehicles. Cost was lower than other minivans that were similarly equipped.
Carolyn Y

Fuel efficient, good for families.
It is very boxy and much less aerodynamic than the odyssey or sienna. There’s not as much space in the interior of the vehicle either. The rear seats fold down, but not flush like in other models. The fuel efficiency is decent, the features available are okay. It is a great van for just hauling family without pets in tow.
Jessica J

2012 Nissan quest minivan with a built in DVD player.
I love this van! It is comfortable for the whole family and when you have kids the built in DVD player is a plus! I would definitely recommend this vehicle to any family looking for a minivan! It is very good for taking on long trips the kids can stay separate so there’s no arguing between them.

The Nissan Quest, a great value for families on the go!
The Nissan Quest is an exceptional vehicle. It allows 6 passengers (7 if tiny) to ride in comfort. There is also plenty of cargo room in the far back for whatever the needs. Our Nissan Quest is 6 years old. We have only taken it in for routine maintenance such as oil change, new tires, or brake or rotor replacement. It is a trustworthy vehicle, great comfort, and rides smooth. The features in our Quest are very basic: air conditioning, radio/CD, and a plug in for charging electronics. This vehicle has served us well.

2012 white Nissan quest. 2nd owner non smoker, etc.
Eighth years old, high mileage. Passenger window does not roll down from drivers side. No rear air conditioning. Armrest has a year in it. Heated seats, DVD player. Leather seats. Automatic door does not always open. DVD player does not always work. White exterior. Missing a piece of door trim.

Happy with my 2012 Nissan quest.
My Nissan quest has a lot of room both for passengers and for cargo. It has been reliable to drive and maintain over the years. The biggest issue that I ran into is the air conditioning for the rear of the vehicle. The lines rot out and leak. Overall I have been really pleased owning a Nissan quest.
Michele M

Nissan quest is a great family car.
When I first bought the vehicle, it was brand new off the lot. I loved the space in the back 'bucket' area. I can put things in there without it taking up our actual space we needed to ride in the vehicle. I think it get pretty good gas mileage for being a larger vehicle. There is an almost ridiculous amount of cup holders, which is honestly great for a family. You can never have too much space in a car when you have kids.
Zainabu M
on May 5, 2020
Efficiency of my Nissan quest.
It is great for family use. The entertainment center as well my kids love it. I have gone long distance with it and I have no issues worth it at all. Fuels sufficiency also is excellent went with it to dc from Atlanta and had no issues at all. I fill it up with about $30.
Teresa S

Very nice for a family of 5.
It is reliable and is good on gas, I love nissan’s and trust the brand. It is the least fancy make, but we still have nice features like keyless entry and automatic doors. It has a lot of room, and my kids enjoy their space. We also like the room in the storage compartment.

2012 Nissan quest review good car overall.
It is a great vehicle the storage in the back is not very good there is a fuel problem where the gauge would read that it had a little bit of gas left yet it would run out of gas that was a programming issue that we got taken care of right off the bat. We have to do brakes on it about every 50,000 miles. There’s a lot of cup holder space there’s two in the back two in the center console and two in the front so you have six total that is pretty cool. Really no blind spots when you are driving you can pretty much see anything in the mirrors have you covered the glass reps all the way around the vehicle so that is good. Mine has 130,000 miles on it and haven't had any problems outside of brakes and a few little quirky things here and there but overall I am very pleased and it is been a great vehicle.
Maddie W

I don't drive for looks just for making my life with 4 kids easier.
I like the leather seats and the DVD player for my kids. The sliding doors with remote opening is a must for kids too. I like how I can open the doors just by standing close with the keys and it will unlock with the button.

Nothing special about my car. It's very reliable.
My car is very reliable. It doesn't have the bells and whistle like our old car but it has everything we need. I have missed some maintenance milestones and have had no problems with my car but I get them done when I remember. It has been almost 7 years since we bought the car and have only a couple minor problems. And the usual maintenance repairs such as brakes and belt replacements and a/c recharge. Since my car doesn't have all those automatic open/close doors and trunk features I haven't had to pay so much repairs in them like I used to with my old Nissan Quest which has automatic everything.
Kean S

It's a 7 seater and it's capable of getting the job done
It's older but it still run like new. It drives smooth and it's a reliable way to get places. It holds up to 7 people. The only thing you are not able to do in there comfortably sleep. In there family road trips are good because there is a TV in the back. It got a camera on the back for parking. You can connect your phone to the Bluetooth so you can talk and get directions.

Middle row does not stow neatly and only has two seats.
I wish the middle row folded down in a more flat way or went into the floor like other models. I also wish the middle row had three seats. The headrests are uncomfortable. Otherwise it performs well. I haven't needs much beyond standard maintenance.

Review for 2012 Nissan quest.
Awful traction and pretty bad offset crash results but other than that one of the best vehicles I have ever had. Extremely peppy engine and fairly economical for a van. 95, 000 miles and still going strong. Very roomy cabin and all the seat can be laid flat without removing them.

Nissan quest is the best options for large families that are everyday use.
I love the vehicle because it fits my family comfortably and still enough room for cargo. Reliable and safe model for everyday use with family. Also love the keyless start button with smart lock on key fob. This vehicle will be excellent for everyday use also planning a long road trip with family so it will be the best option because it is safe and reliable. Also good on gas mileage so don't have to worry to much about gasoline.
Elizabeth S
on June 15, 2019
A few issues along the way but a wonderful vehicle nonetheless.
I love the size and space, the look and overall function however I have had some major issues with my vehicle. At 70k miles the motor blew I had to replace it. A year later the transmission went out. This is when I found out that the 2012 quest had a CVT transmission which is belt driven due to this the only place I could get one was the Nissan dealership and it was $1000 more than if I could find one from someone who rebuilds transmissions. Other than those major repairs I really love this van and plan on keeping it for along time. I love to go to yard sales and it is amazing the items I can fit into my van. All the seats fold flat I do not have to remove them. It has a spacious “cubby” which would be a trunk for a car. It has built in DVD, all leather heated seats, push button start, keyless entry, several cup holders. It has dual heat and air and rear heat and air separate. It even has a outlet. Again I am not sure if others have had issues with the motor or transmission as I have or if mine was just a fluke. I still love it and would recommend it for everything it offers me. It has made a trip to the beach and multiple 2-3 hour trips and has always been reliable. If you have a large family, need a lot of space or like to haul items this is definitely the vehicle for you.
Morine B

This vehicle gets great gas mileage. It is also comfortable and roomy. What I don't like is that since it is the base model fog lights and navigation were not standard features in this model.
The most important thing they should know is that it get great gas mileage.

Perfect 3rd row vehicle for families.
Perfect third row vehicle for a family. Seats fold down compact enough for the vehicle to carry large furniture and haul items as a truck bed would. Very comfortable and stylish. Love the boxy back end. The only consistent issue is having the rotors shaved down every few years. Seems to be a common problem on this vehicle.

Nissan quest: family mover extraordinaire.
The van is all around an excellent vehicle. There have been no maintenance issues outside of standard pms. The fuel economy is lower than I would like but the v6 engine has all the power needed to haul 7 adults. Access to the back seats is difficult for tall or large people. Cargo room is outstanding with all the seats down and even with all the seats in use there is plenty of room for luggage. Dual climate control is great and the backup camera is a must have for any new vehicles I purchase.

Spacious and convenient to have for your family.
I love my Nissan quest a lot. I am a mother of three and I love how much storage space it has. Its big enough for all my family. I also love that the middle seats and the back seats lay flat completely for more space. I really love all the great things that my Nissan quest minivan has.

A good family car for your average consumer.
I am mo car savant, so I do not look for much in my cars apart from practicality in everyday use. I think this car is a good choice for anybody like me; the car is quite spacious, and the seats are comfortable. The stereo system is fine, and the automatic car door is nice for kids. One thing might be the inability to open the windows on the very back row seats very far.

There is plenty of space for a large family to travel.

My vehicle is a constant mess that keeps having small problems.
I enjoy having a minivan because it is great with all the room. There have just been so many problems. I live in New York and we get so much snow. The car is terrible in snow and even loses control when it rains. It is pretty scary. This is even with brand new tires on the van. My air conditioning has also recently gone out. It stopped working just after one year, which I find a little ridiculous. It just seems I am putting so much money into the van when it is not even worth that much. My door handle also broke off when someone pulled the handle.
Diana D
on March 5, 2019
It is the worst vehicle ever!
It has had ongoing mechanical problems that cost a ton of money. I like the size and storage but the maintenance is awful. I would not recommend this vehicle to another person. It is not a reliable car based on the mechanical issues. Multiple recalls and once broke down on the interstate.
Jermel N
on February 11, 2019
Best family minivan ever.
I really like this van it has all the bells and whistles that a luxury van should have. Heated seats, backup camera and the coldest ac. Great for family road trips with room for 5 comfortably. The double sunroof is awesome to look through at night a catch a glimpse of the stars at night. Excellent sound and entertainment system with automatic DVD player to keep the kids occupied in the rear.

I have three small children so the van works well for me. The only downfalls is that the van is really large, which sometimes makes me nervous. I went from a small Hyundai to a large van. It works well.

Whether you have a large or small family, this is the one for you.
This vehicle is custom made for the perfect family, travel, many large dog transport, or grocery getting. It has a very smooth ride, slick design, and it was built for comfort. With three rows of seats and the ability to lay down two rows, you could carry as much if not more cargo than similar vans on the market. Ours has built in DVD player for the kids, surround sound, reclining seats, and even adjustable air controls to give everyone what they want. I could not ask for more.
