  • Really love it - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    We have been test driving all the minivan models (Sienna, Odyssey, Grand Caravan, Venture, FreeStar) since February. We compared them all to the Quest which we fell in love with on our first drive. We finally made the plunge and purchased a Quest based on the months of research and test driving in all conditions. The selling points were style (eventhough we appreciated the "classic" looks of the Sienna), price (eventhought the Grand Caravan was offered for under $30k fully equipped), and handling (great acceleration and handling in city and highway). We did have 2 problems with the test drive today - the AC shot up to 90 and wouldnt go back down and the driver seat back fell off.

    This is the best looking import mini van.

  • Good Choice - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    This is the first miinivan we have owned. As young parents we vowed to never drive a minivan! It was easy until we went to buy a new Altima and drove the Quest for the heck of it...When we got back to the dealership, we looked at eachother and hated to admit it but we were both sold on the Quest. To this day, we have been impressed with its performance. It is zippy, stylish and gets lots of attention. We have tons of room and our two girls love it! We will never own another SUV or car again.

  • Almost a Lemon - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    We have owned the Quest for a year and a half and in that time have had it back to the dealership for repairs/warranties/recalls/service about 15 times. Within the first month of owning the Quest, I noticed rattling noises, wind coming from the rear doors, and other "small things" that seemed much worse becasue they only added to the overall total of complaints I began to have. Couple this with the passenger side mirror needing to be replaced, rear defogger unit replaced, doors adjusted, sensors tweeked, and the kicker, the alternator and battery dying in the middle of January in Minnesota away from home, and you can see why I must say this is the absolute worst vehicle I have ever owned.

  • Nissan Quest SE - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    First off, MSRP is high but if you shop around and find a good deal I highly recommend this vehicle. I paid $1000 over invoice in OCT 03. I am extremely happy with this vehcile because of all the thought and features built into this vehicle. I highly recommend the SE edition over the S and SL edition becuase of the increased 17 inch tires, BOSE sterio, and sky-view interior. I am not pleased with the anti-pinch technology built into the sliding doors or the second DVD screen. However in order to get the GPS, you have to get the dual DVD. Over all pleased.

  • Timing Chains are Bad! - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    We have been proud owners of Nissans for more than 13yrs. Our 04 Quest has been great over all! I have had problems with the automatic doors not closing and/or sticking. Windows have the same problem. Console is scratched and looks crappy because material does not clean well. Under carriage is to low, going over speed hump I lost plastic bolts holding plastic bottom in place. Now my mechanic is telling me that I need a new timing chain, the dealership will charge $3200 he will fix for $1800. He says it really should be a recall but because of the cost Nissan will not recall! Timing chains are suppose to last longer and be more reliable. Research the web many people having same problem!

  • Why drive anything else? - 2004 Nissan Quest

    I was a little nervous about a driving a vehicle bigger than a car but it is very easy to handle. It didnt take much time to get use to.

  • Never again - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    Worst new vehicle I have ever driven. Rattles, squeaks, interior and exterior electricals going on the fritz. Paid $1000 to get into a four year lease on this van, happily paid about $3000 to get out 14 months later. Never got the luggage rack we were promised by the dealer. Took the van in for warranty repairs several times, rattling doors & "flat tire" sensors were never fixed. Actual gas milage was about 14 mpg (we got 18 from our full size Chevy extended cab 350 V8 pickup driving under identical conditions). We were offered a 12K mile extension of the warranty due to the number of times we took it in for service. Said no thanks, sent it back & got a Honda (we love it!).

  • Great new van- love it so far!! - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    First off, I was NEVER EVER going to own a van over my dead body! Well... along came my son. With that said, we love our new van. We seriously considered the Sienna, but chose the Quest as it fit our age, style and function better. The "Maxima" and award winning V6 is great EXCEPT on the gas mileage. We have ranged from upper teens to lower 20s so far. The only problems we have had are: 1) small chips showing up in the front end paint (and we dont drive on gravel); and 2) filler piece for non-roof rack groove came loose on interstate (being replaced next week). Otherwise we love the van so far.

  • I love this minivan! - 2004 Nissan Quest
    By -

    I just got my minivan last month! It was a hard decision as I was torn between this one and the Honda. In the end I have been happy with my Nissan I previously owned so I went with the Quest. I would recommend this van to others!
