GM would be VERY happy if their Venture/Montana/Silhouette minivans had the Quest's sophication, features, and looks. With this minivan, I think Nissan is back in the top 3 in the minivan category.

It's the Quest for crappiest interior ever!

Seriously,who designed that interior? Who came up with the idea of calling the car "Quest". How do they come up with those names?

It's those damn EUROPEANS I tell you Renault screwed with Nissan just a bit more that I would have liked them to. :frown: I'd rather get a Sienna for my money.. but my ASTRO owns all those vehicles anyhow

Ummm, Renault is not behind this one. The interior shares it's basic idea with the current Nissan Primera (difference being that the interior of Primera looks OK), and it was done before Renault got involved

I think it was due to the windows being radically curved?

I think "Quest" still sounds much better than Euro minivans names such as Espace, 307 SW and Zafira.

But it's still cheasy as hell:
My problems with the Quest have to do with the interior -- probably because I'm more Marion Cunningham than Tea Leoni.

If you are comfortable with a traditional minivan interior, be ready for a shocker in the new Quest as soon as you climb into the driver's seat.

The gauges are gone from behind the steering wheel. In their place are a potentially distracting pop-up glove box and a clip to hold a family photo, parking stub or grocery list.

All the gauges and the shift lever have been relocated to what looks like a tall center pillar jutting out of the floor. The jumble of controls, levers and a joystick for the navigation system are difficult to get used to.

I found myself frequently taking my eyes off the road to try to comprehend the confusing setup.

My point is that mothers will benefit the most from simplicity in a minivan when faced with the monumental task of getting kids safely from point A to point B.

I found the new interior unfamiliar, distracting and pointless.

Even worse, materials in the instrument panel and in the full-length overhead console that stretches to the rear look and feel cheap. That's not something you want to see in a workhorse vehicle that you know will get beat up by your family.

Blah blah blah. People always bash Nissan looks. Hey, there is plenty of vanilla out there if you don't like it.
I think aside from the center gauges, it's a great van. The VQ makes up for all it's styling "problems".

Spoken like a true Nissan kneepad boy


A VQ can't solve styling issues. A fuggin' LS6 wouldn't solve the Aztek's styling "issues," not to say that the Quest is as ugly as that thing

What about in the Honda Element and Civic Si?

I don't get what you guys are calling ugly?
Is it the interior or exterior?

I personally find the exterior very attractive, and I'm indifferent to console - although I don't like center mounted gauges either. But the skyview roof sounds very nice.

Is Tea Leoni actually the new spokeswoman for Nissan?

There is nothing wrong with that styling. I think it's all Nissan haters grasping for straws. They know Nissan has a superior drivetrain and product, so they bash its' unorthodox interior. Anyways, don't like it, don't buy it.

Well all know that the Sienna is gonna r@pe this thing. It already does on features and price. The damn Quest looks like a hippo with a stupid interior.

And I'm sorry, but sport and minivan don't go together...so the VQ is merely just a "nice addition" to the package as opposed to really setting it apart from the crowd. Minivan's in the class already have 230+ HP and plenty of torque. And the Odyssey and Sienna both go 0-60 in 7.7 seconds or so.

Sienna is gonna rape this thing? Maybe in sludge production
