Well we broke down and traded in the 1999 Chevrolet Astro with 96k miles on it when we came across a 2004 Quest SE w/DVD & mats, as a demo. The van has a VIN number over 45xxx, which means it has the mid year quality improvements, addressing all the ...

Pros: More room than some houses. Surprisingly good performance & gas mileage. Top drawer styling.
Cons: Worried about long term quality control and electronics.

The 2004 Nissan Quest is pleasant to drive . . . as long as its running. cavet emptor - it's been in the shop twice (died on the road) and is now being recalled for a laundry list of fixes. I bought a 2004 Quest in Sept 2003 when my wife's Mistubishi ...

Pros: Priced right, good looking(for a van) and handles better then mosts cars do.
Cons: squeaks and rattles a little.

Never thought we would buy a mini van. It's more like a big car or a lowered SUV. We have had more people ask us about the new Quest then my 1998 Lexus GS400 when it was new. $30,000.00 difference in price and I never expected the free attention. (If ...

Pros: Smooth Ride, awesome design, excellent DVD player.

Cons: Almost everything, I am sorry but really can't specify anything specific.

Oh where to begin...My wife and I went to the New York Auto Show in early 2004. I figured it would save us time on the road. We saw the Quest, Honda and Toyota. We compared price and features at the show and fell in love with the Quest for the room and ...
