Nice van - although the trend is to extended wheelbase only size, I'm still a big fan of the 'shorty' 2006 MPV I have. 

If they get much larger, they should start to include a microphone in the front so passengers in the rear can hear the driver and front passsenger!

Nice van though - true about the pricing - although Quests have been recently listed at $26k at some GTA dealerships, it is interteresting that all of the Japanese and Korean vans have a 'glass floor' of $30k for their maximized mini's....I guess the Mazda 5 and Rondo are being expected to pick up the sub $30k segment.

Talk about huge 3rd row headrests, but I like their style. Also, like the piping around the seat materials and such.

Also, don't like that the 2nd row cupholders are still integrated into the side of the seat base. Every time I got in or out I put pressure on them and they were in the way, nevermind that nothing was actually in them at the time. They should really be mounted inboard.

But, at least they tried to correct some mishaps. I still find the exterior attractive. Value could be better tho.

The huge turning circle is the biggest issue I have with our 2004 Quest. The new interior does look nicer. My headrests are quite a bit smaller than those.

edit: oh yes and it is big. See my Lotus Seven clone frame inside the van  Grin

This is what most Nissan SUV owners should have bought instead of their "manly" Pathfinder/Armada/etc.

According to CR reliability on the Quest has been poor. Probably the reason I don’t see many around when Honda and Toyota have the class leaders in that respect.

See very few Quests around here, compared to Siennas and Odys, the Quest is a rare find.
