#130 of 2426 Dallas Auto Show by intexasnow Mar 31, 2003 (10:32 am)
I saw the new Quest at the Dallas Auto Show this past weekend. It is a very good looking vehicle! The Nissan website and brochure photos do not do this car justice. The auto show rep said that the Sky View roof will be standard. The demo vehicle at the show clearly had stadium seating, from the 1st to 2nd and then up again in the 3rd row. However, the rep wasn't sure that will be the case in the production vehicle.   The rep also said that the dealers are NOT to mark up the vehicle above MSRP (not released yet). She said if the dealer does, to report it to 1-800-NISSAN1, and they will send you to a new dealer. She said the dealers will actually be penalized by not receiving (or reduction of) delivery of Z's. She said Nissan is VERY eager to get back into this market and will be competitive.   Lots of grocery bag hooks in the back as well as behind the first row seats. She said the timing belt will be a chain, instead of a belt, standard.   They were handing out the same brochures that were mailed from Nissan. Lastly the rep said that the dealers should be receiving a few about 2 weeks or so before their release date June 30.
#131 of 2426 Timing Chain :) by groggy60 Apr 01, 2003 (2:58 pm)
I am thinking about getting a mini-van soon (2 kids and 2 dogs) and the Quest certainly interests me. Nice that's not just a Ford anymore. Too bad it doesn't have roll down 2nd row windows like the new Sienna and MPV, which is my pet peeve about mini-vans.   The chain comment made me smile because I had a Nissan Stanza with a timing chain. Rather than a $200 bill to replace a belt, I faced a $2500 bill at 6 years old to replace the chain guide which had chipped. That's when I got my Camry. But, yes the chain should be better, and at the time they claimed the guide problem wouldn't happen anymore.
#132 of 2426 Atlanta Auto Show by ajones1 Apr 03, 2003 (5:27 pm)
After viewing the 04 Quest at the Atlanta Auto Show, I believe it is the most attractive minivan on the market. I also was impressed with what they have done to the interior. Most minivans are very boring. Nissan has done a good job of adding a little excitement to both the exterior and interior, which is something that is sorely missing from the competition.   I will concede that the 04 Sienna will probably have a higher build quality and will hold it's value better, but it is boring.   As an owner of a 99 Quest, I can definitely say the 04 has addressed the shortcomings of the Quest/Villager. (1) All Nissan product, no longer joint venture with Ford. (2) Size, possibly the largest minivan on the market. (3) Flexibility. I really like the idea of a fold down second row. Just loaded my van with 12 bales of pine straw. 04 model will probably significantly more and I won't have to remove any seats. (4) Engine. Having the Z engine in a minivan will be a huge improvement over the sluggish (but reliable) engine in my van. (5) My 99 Quest looks like a sucker fish. 04 is a substantial improvement.   If it's priced right with quality fit and finish, I would expect Nissan has a winner on it's hands   I am surprised that the volume of messages on the board is so low.
#134 of 2426 So am I by gess Apr 03, 2003 (5:59 pm)
Hopefully it translates into discounts! I saw the Quest at the Vancouver Auto Show last night and fell in love. I thought it was awesome. Only thing it will lack compared to the competition is second row roll down windows and split rear seat. They kinda blew it there if they wanted to be the class leader. But I still see one in my future!
#135 of 2426 Can't Wait! by sparkymarky74 Apr 04, 2003 (6:21 am)
I'm really looking forward to the NY Auto Show to check out the new Quest. I think the board is slow because they is really not a lot of info out there right now, especially pricing. I really like the new look of the van. It is different from most other vans. If the price is competitive to the Sienna or Honda I'll be all over it.
#136 of 2426 Test droved the 2004 Quest by kyim67 Apr 04, 2003 (11:14 am)
I recently test droved the 2004 Nissan Quest for an auto research firm. The van is awesome. It got plenty of power. It got attitude to booth. I especially like the sky view and leather combo.
#137 of 2426 8 Seat configuration. by shued Apr 04, 2003 (11:23 am)
I hope Nissan Quest can have 8th seat. Otherwise, I can choice Toyata Sienna only. I have 1987 Nissan Sentra, and 1997 Nissan Altima, and I believe Nissan quality and reliability. But don't expect too much about Nissan Quest MSRP. From Murando MSRP (spelling is correct?), Nissan Quest will not cheap. kim67, what about the internal material in the quest?
#138 of 2426 internal material by kyim67 Apr 04, 2003 (3:07 pm)
The 2004 Quest comes with lumbar supported cloth seats. It’s very comfortable and luxuries. The second row bucket seats can be folded down and pushed behind the front seats. The third row seat disappeared just like the Odyssey/Sienna. The end result is a very large cargo size equal in size to the Odyssey/Sienna.   The interior finishing/moldings are better then the Murano. I would say equal to the Odyssey. (I own the 2002 odyssey). The center console was very thoughtfully designed. The center dash took a minute or two to get use to but the jury is still out on the final production.   Since I test droved the 2003 Winstar, 2003 Caravan, 2004 Sienna, 2003 Odyssey and 2004 Quest all in the same day. The only thing the Sienna have over Quest is quieter and smoother ride. Then again, this is still pre-production. Also, The Quest was quieter and smoother than Odyssey.   I also saw the price sheet for the 2004 Quest. Comparing the base model to base model, it’s several hundred less then the other two and has a few more standard options then both.

Are the middle seats completely removable or can they just be folded? From the pictures I have seen it doesn't look like they fold completely flat so it would be nice if they were removable as well.
