What We Drove
Nissan Quest - 2007 Review: The setup was perfect. Three members of our CarTV crew needed a rig to transport themselves and their gear from Orange County to Las Vegas for the SEMA show. Turns out Nissan had a 2007 Quest 3.5 SE available, complete with leather seats, a navigation system, a fold-flat third-row seat, and a dual-screen DVD system. Plus, the EPA-rated 25 mpg on the highway would leave more in the budget for Vegas-style entertainment.
Unfortunately, the mileage never hit much above 18 mpg, so what didn't go toward gas bought burgers in the hotel diner with an "Elvis" show. And after a 500-mile journey, the "uncomfortable" Quest failed to win any fans. Overall, our editors agreed.
Why We Drove It
Since it was completely redesigned a few years back, the Nissan Quest has been a love-it-or-hate-it minivan (our staff is currently about evenly split). The interior layout, with its center dash pillar and oddly-placed gauges, has been a little wacky, and the exterior design features more than its share of unique styling cues. Plus, quality has been a nagging issue. So, when Nissan announced that the 2007 model would address all of these issues, we wanted to determine that statement's accuracy and, of course, pass our findings on to you. What we discovered was a more agreeable interior and hit-or-miss quality, including a door that didn't fit correctly, a door that didn't always work, and discolored paint.
