This van has the space and comfort in the interior and good quality engine to help get the family everywhere we needed to go. No issues and if it was something small it needed , it was a quick low cost to fix.

Great for family trips! Plenty of leg room in the front and back. Two covenient cigar lighter sockets in the front and two in the back to charge your electronic devices.

Seating is high on driver side , is easily adjustable and comfortable. Has a lot of room and storage spaces, also love the auto sliding rear passenger door and auto lift gate to the trunk area.

We test drove and thoroughly compared the Quest to similar class 2008 and 2009 Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey mini vans The minute we got in the Quest, it felt different. It wasn't boring! It felt like family fun on wheels. The driver, passenger, and second row seats are bucket seats that provide long trip comfort. The third row is a a bench seat that is one of the more comfortable third row seats we tested. It folds down in seconds to provide plenty of cargo space when needed. We got the SE version with all the extras including the most popular feature with the kids - the DVD player with dual, ceiling mounted viewing screens for both the 2nd and 3rd row seats. It has dual, sliding power rear doors that provide for plenty of room when entering or exiting. We really like the full-roof-length sky lights that extend all the way to the the 3rd row. We are the second owners of this van (purchased with around 35k miles) and have had no major issues with it over year the 6 years and 100k plus miles that we've owned it. It's still a smooth ride 10 years after the date of manufacture. If I had one thing I would change - I'd wish for a little bigger engine. Even though it's been a reliable engine with good fuel efficiency, it has to work hard to pick up speed. Nissan did well overall with this Quest minivan in 2008.

We had this van for 9 years and loved its roomy interior, dependable drive, and smart solutions. Very easy to change from roomy rear space for luggage to a practical 7-seater to haul family and friends. Plenty of room for luggage even when 3rd row seating is up.

I love the look of it compared to other mini vans. It has been extremely reliable for the past 9 years that I have owned it. It handles great in all kinds of weather and has gotten me home safely in many snow storms.

Everything about this car screams luxury and convenience. The seats are easy to move. The charge ports are always on. The skylights make for a beautiful experience in the back seats. The fully automatic features make for a safe and convenient drive. Seat warmers work great for long rides keeps your leg from falling asleep. The sound system is fantastic. Over all look and feel of the car is astounding.

Bought my first Mini because of growing family. The Quest SL & SE models, by far is the best bang for the buck. You get styling, performance, comfort, and a lot of cool features as standard features versus its competitors where you may have to add money to get the same features. My opinion, it definitely is a mans mini-van. Unlike all of its counterparts in every aspect. I bought mine used with 47K on it. Direct from the sales lot we took it in a 3K round trip road trip to the mid-west and it performed amazingly. It now has 90K and still going strong. I've driven every mini van out there, and non compares to the total overall of the Quest. Honda and Toyota are too over priced and everything is an option you have to pay extra for. Dodge/Chrysler, Chevy, Ford, Kia will start to fall apart when you make your 24th installment payment if not sooner. Volkswagen....is nothing but a dodge Caravan with Volkswagen badging.....All your paying extra for is the "VW" emblem. I am sad, that they did destroy the Quest with the remake and styling of the 2010 year and current. It is roomier, but looks horrible. Looking for a mini......get a Quest SL or SE (2006 to 2009), you'll see your money well spent.

After 2 previous vans, we decided we still wanted another one for the flexibility and carrying and towing capacity. We wanted to buy used around 2008 models, so I looked at all of the competing brands. The Quest was a pleasant surprise. Lower price and less road noise than Honda. Lower price and more precise handling than Toyota. More reliable and better handling than Kia. More reliable and with more modern engine and transmission than those standard on Dodge/Chrysler. And compared with all of the above, the longest wheelbase with the most legroom and a low step in height for easiest access. We have had it for only 6 months, but no problems so far. Gas mlileage has been better than government estimates. For my priorities, (room, comfort, quiet operation, and precise handling for its class) the Quest is the winner of the 2008 van wars. Give it a look if you're in the market for this type of vehicle.
