I've driven the Nissan Quest for several years, and it's an incredibly practical family minivan with super spacious interiors that can comfortably seat seven people, especially with three kids in the back without feeling cramped. The sliding doors are ultra-convenient, making it easy for elderly and children to get in and out—I often use it to pick up the kids, go shopping, or travel. The interior is comfortable, with foldable seats for luggage, and the air conditioning is very effective. However, the fuel consumption is a bit high, making daily commuting feel less economical. Although it's now discontinued, there are plenty available in the used car market, offering great value for money. Compared to the Honda Odyssey, the Quest focuses more on comfort, though it accelerates a bit slower, but it's quite smooth and reliable for everyday driving. Overall, it's an excellent choice for families needing ample space.

I'm quite passionate about cars, and the Nissan Quest stands out in my memory as a classic family MPV. Its performance is decent, with the V6 engine providing ample power, delivering a smooth acceleration experience, though the suspension is a bit soft, making the handling less thrilling compared to some sportier models. The interior design is quite luxurious, with the entertainment system and air conditioning performing exceptionally well, ensuring a comfortable long-distance drive without fatigue. Unfortunately, Nissan discontinued the Quest around 2017, primarily because SUVs like the newer models such as the X-Trail became more popular and stole the market spotlight. Compared to the Toyota Sienna, the Quest boasts a more stylish interior, and its second-hand prices are now very affordable. If you're in the market for a family car, it's a cost-effective choice, especially for those who appreciate spacious interiors.

I bought the Quest for its practicality—it's a reliable boxy family car. The space is cleverly designed, with a seven-seat layout that doesn't feel cramped, and sliding doors make getting in and out easy, whether loading luggage or pushing a stroller. The fuel consumption is average—not particularly economical, but maintenance costs are low, and it hasn't had any major issues over five years of driving. The rear seats are comfortable, and my family finds long trips quite relaxing, with quick air conditioning adjustments. Although it's been discontinued, used models are everywhere and affordable, making it a great choice for budget-conscious families. The downside is that the trunk space is smaller than newer SUVs, but it's sufficient for daily groceries or hauling kids around. If you compare it to the Honda Odyssey before buying, you'll find the Quest offers better value for money.
